Why can't people just accept he's fucking injured. Maybe the club don't want to absolutely ruin the most expensive player we ever signed by rushing him back and injecting him with shit.
Why don't people blame management? They had him working on his strength. Now he's injured. This was my post from 8 or 9 weeks ago when it was reported he was fit, but they were working on his strength:
"I think working on his strength is nonsense. He's never going to be a beast. HIS ROLE should be different. They should be working on his speed and sharpness and give him zero water carrying duties.
That ginger charlatan had him doing a shift on the wing, there is no way a player like him can do that in the prem. It's way too involved/fast/constant/brutal.
Building up his strength is a waste of time/effort and could compound injuries because resistance training can cause all sorts of tweaks and strains.
He should be an attacking right sided AM with no water carrying duties. With Eriksen on the left doing the same thing. We have so many real beasts at the club, we need guile and speed in the final third. Ade is strong, and another strong AM should also be in the final third to act as a base for Eriksen and Lamela to interact with.
Lamela, Soldado, Eriksen and Defoe had a problem under AVB of not being able to get past the parked bus.
----------------Ade--------------
--Eriksen--Dembo--Lamela--
----Capoue----The Beast-----
Capoue and Sandro should be doing the donkey work and wear down the opposition. Eriksen and Lamela should play to their strengths: Quick feet/minds and shooting accuracy. Dembo or Pauly should be thrown in there to add beef to challenge the parked bus in 50/50's that Defoe and Soldado constantly lost. Dembo should be beating players and laying off the ball in the area, not in our own half.
I despair for the coaching of the club...Lamela looks lightweight? "Duuuuuur make him strong." NO: Give him a role where strength is not needed FFS! You can beat a dour 7 man behemoth defence with sharpness, passing quick feet and an UNDERSTANDING with like minded intelligent players like Eriksen. Dembo can be the battering ram, Ade can draw defenders and Eriksen and Lamela should be flitting around the final third. AVB had Holtby in the boiler room ffs! He's game but he's not suited for it. Another player AVB's role for players ruined.
Lamela and Eriksen are heads up players. The IQ of this team needs to go up and he and Eriksen are the men to do it. Sorry but Rose, Walker, Lennon and Townsend make painful decisions in the final third. They should not be the source of our creativity. And we should not expect the impossible from Lamela and Eriksen when it comes to beasting people in the box. They should be striking up an understanding with each other and with Ade and co.
Rant over."
