Seems to me semi final time is groundhog day, we always seem to have loads of injuries and general fatigue by this time of the season, Son at LWB anyone ?

That was a bad decision. Semi-finals are a huge hurdle for us as are key games of significance.
And that's mentality.
Why is that important?
Is anyone aware of the training methods having changed? We have very fine training facilities and sports scientists, dieticians and physios coming out of our ears!
It's certainly not luck.
In my view it's down (in large part) to flogging players to death by playing them in every game, which results from not having a suitably deep squad.
Playing game after game will have a cumulative effect resulting in a miniscule slowdown in reaction and response times. Being a fraction of a second late into a tackle can result (at best) in a yellow card. At worst, an injury.
Additionally (and this is purely down to the manager), not subbing players when the game is won, for their own protection. It didn't look good having Kane run around for the last twenty minutes when the game was over versus Everton. Bringing him on against Tranmere defied belief.
A lot of this stems from last summer!

Becaue Sheik Monseur goes to all City’s games in Fidel’s head and we need to be like them
Have we now had more injuries than we've lost Semi-Finals...? or is it the other way around!
Either way, it seems there's little point progressing in the FA Cup now, as it is well publicised that we'll fail in the Semis...
Likewise, not much point going on in the League, as we're officially 'bottlers'...
Honestly dunno why they even bother...
Let's pack up football now shall we... see you again (at Wembley probably) in August!!
(I'm not sure what my actual point us btw!)

Play a defender then but not Son, who has never shown defensive qualities one bit.
If you look at the minutes played by our players compared to last season, and indeed compared to any of our rivals this season it's no different at all. Kane's played the most 1,887 there are 51 EPL players with more minutes than him ....
the big difference is the number of minutes played in the summer by our players compared to most others. Is that a reason? who knows, but of the 12 who went to Russia 10 have been injured this season ...

And yet Kane's injury has nothing to do with being overplayed and everything to do with him being clattered by an opponent.
Kane has not had a rest for 3 summers now.. next season he should be at his best ..... <ok>
Ok, this took a while, but since Poch took over we've had 286 separate injuries
In the last ten years we've had 676 separate injuries, so actually he's pretty much on track
(basically he's there were 104 more injuries over 6 years, than Poch has amassed in 4)
No idea what types of injuries etc relate to what methods, you can read it yourselves

We'll never know. What if he'd gone in a fraction earlier against that donkey Jones?
Surely you're not advocating that he plays every game? Who could argue against him being subbed (early) when the game is won? Dele, Eriksen too.
Or is it down to voodoo?
And where are Blackburn now?
We have sod all depth to the squad.
If we had a replacement for Kane or Alli we would have gone through last night. No shots on target in the first half was shocking.
I'm afraid that Poch and Levy have to shoulder the blame, what did they expect to happen not buying any players after most of our team had been in the world cup? Seems like they were hoping for an injury free season and nobody getting tired..

We did have replacements for Kane and Alli last night. Otherwise we would have had to play 9 players! Silly to state “we would have won if.....” as it would completely depend on who those players were. We had a strong side in last years FA cup semi but still managed to lose somehow.
You believe they were good enough?
What a shit post... Hope you never get your wish.
They were good enough to take us to penalties. At that point it’s anyone’s game. Like I said, we had Kane and Alli at our disposal in last years semi, it still didn’t win us the game. Imaginary signings that we could have made last summer wouldn’t have somehow guaranteed a win last night.
What is your point? ...That we should have 3 LBs?
