Last night went to penalties.
We lost last years FA cup semi.
2 unknown player signings couldn’t possibly GUARANTEE that we would have won last night.
You’re disagreeing with facts

Works for City.

You're claiming to know what would have happened last night if we had bought players in the summer as fact?? haha, ok.
No , my point as I said in my first post on this thread, is that by the time the domestic semi finals and big knockout games in the CL come around our team always has big injury problems and fatigue problems.
We seem to operate with a core of about 15/16 players which always ends up taking it's toll.
I’m claiming that you couldn’t GUARANTEE that we would have won, yes. You were the one claiming that you knew what would have happened, not me.
Yeh, but you framed your case with the LB role; a scenario not fit for your purpose.... You betrayed your own point.
Both LBs injured is bad luck, pure and simple...

Good point, instead of everyone slagging us off, how shit must Chelsea be
This thread is bloody hilarious
Loads of people arguing black and blue over whose fertile imagination, wild arsed guesswork and made up facts are the most likely to be right.
Are there any other subjects that we collectively know fuck all about, that we can get into a heated discussion over?
Who did kill Marilyn, Jimmy Hoffa and Shergar?

When did I bring up the media?
And if you don't think luck has anything to do with injuries and squad fitness, then I don't know what to tell you.
Red rum was old and died. Not sure about Shergar though?!
Good spot
Hey give me credit, it was a horse, at least
Let’s get hoddle in, I’m sure he knows someone who can help with the Curse that has been put upon this team! 
I don't think the training methods are to blame, otherwise we would have the same number of injuries every year.
We have a full squad, but are hugely reliant on the same (attacking) players week in, week out.
If everyone is fit we know that it will be Dele, Ericksen, Kane and probably Son.
The question about the quality of depth is a different question, as has been said many times in the transfer thread, it's either;
Spend a shit load on one player.
Counter: Who is going to be better than the 4 mentioned above and therefore would be happy to sit on the bench unless they're being paid large wages and we have to shift players first.
Spend a shit load on 3 or 4 players.
Counter: As above
To answer the OP I think it is a combination of all 3.
Bad luck, especially getting so many injuries in the 1 position.
Bad management, not subbing key players early when a game is won, leading to the back up players not being match sharp.

You didnt bring up the media. You brought up luck.
Others brought up media bias. Someone brought up we are alone and the whole world is against us. Others are saying we are hated because we dont spend much. Someone says its because levy is a jew..so antisemitism. This victim mentality is what we laugh at Dippers for.
