My Blood Is Blue Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Injury list has grown again! Christopher Nkunku – in partial team training. Robert Sanchez – in partial team training. Lesley Ugochukwu – in partial team training. Ben Chilwell - undergoing medical assessment. Malo Gusto - undergoing medical assessment. Cole Palmer - absent due to illness. Levi Colwill – continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme. Wesley Fofana – continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme. Reece James – continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme. Romeo Lavia – continuing to undergo his rehabilitation programme. We have to hope and pray Palmer recovers in time. Chilwell and Gusto, who knows, could be nothing, could be a proper injury. No idea how Chilwell managed to get himself injured again?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asvaberg Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I can only see this lineup re. above possibility still injured tomorrow: Petrovic Chalobah - Disasi - Badiashile - Cucurella Chuck - Caicedo Sterling - Gallagher Madueke Jackson = a massive win for the hosts 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be his eyes based on the fact he couldn’t see the most obvious ball in the world to put Sterling in on Saturday! Palmer must be sick 🤮- Sick of losing in games that really matter at Wembley due to numb-nuts getting things wrong - Again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box of Tricks Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We have to take points off Arsenal because Tottenham will give them all three, before beating City and Liverpool just to confirm their uselessness. 27 minutes ago, My Blood Is Blue said: Injury list has grown again!

That injury list is depressing. If Palmer is out (😞) then Chukwuemeka needs to start, or maybe Mudryk in the middle. I'm sick of the sight of Jackson though. I still think on balance he's a decent signing, but my god I wish we didn't have to stick him up front every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boots on the other foot now , we have a team of (apparently) technical midgets and every other teams are giants in comparison That’s because too many people listened to and started to believe the utter b*****ks spouted by the media/pundits about the football we played as being attritional. They hated it because we kept winning. Which I hasten to add was the actual b*****ks. We were too powerful and tactically great until after Carlo got sacked and then not so good until Jose returned, tactical masterclass from Conte and then after we lost our spine, we became a side looking for an identity. Tuchel got a tune out of the side for a while, but quite simply there were not enough great players to carry it through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Mauricio Pochettino on team news ahead of Arsenal [A] in the Premier League: "We will need to assess Palmer tomorrow morning. "Today, I don't believe he can be involved. We need to assess tomorrow and then decide. Even if he is feeling better tomorrow, maybe he is not in a condition to play. We hope he recovers from this situation and can be involved again as soon as possible." On Malo Gusto's and Ben Chilwell's injuries: "I am not a doctor but I try to translate what is going on. Malo suffered a problem in a ligament in his knee, we hope it's not a big issue. "Chilly has the same problem he has suffered in the last few weeks after [being with] the national team."

My Blood Is Blue Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Sounds like Pamer won’t make it. Sounds like Galo has the potential to make it but could also be a more serious injury. Chilwell… thanks Gareth, for playing him in both pointless matches. I don’t think we’ll see much of him for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Based on the latest injury news, I think we’ll see: Petrovic Chalobah - Disasi - Silva - Cucurella Enzo - Caicedo Madueke - Gallagher - Mudryk Jackson He could of course play Chukwuemeka, but he seems too scared to drop Enzo and give him the rest he clearly needs. Arsenal could run riot against this team And we’ll have very little left on the bench to influence anything in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd be tempted to swap Gallagher and Enzo around if theres no Palmer and tell Enzo that he's been harping on all season about wanting to get more forward , here's your opportunity ! Well , to be honest I'd really be tempted to forfeit the game , save the inevitable . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevelourfog Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Can't think of a game that exists less than this one, won't play a blind bit of attention to it and will break no sweat swearing that it never happened if asked on Wednesday. Nothing even remotely not fucking terribly painful can come of it, so much better this way. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguelito07 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 With injuries to Palmer and Gusto - probably are best players, I would go for a draw. BUT i dont think Poch knows how to play for a draw - intentionally anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertles86 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Ahhh let's just go for it. I'd rather lose 4-3 than 1-0. Stick Washington on for Palmer and have a crack. Just NO DISASI AT RIGHT BACK. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 In a desperate effort to show that I really have no clue what I am talking about, it seems to me that we should be playing Gallagher and Caicedo deep, Carney as a #10, Madueke right, Mudryk left, and Jackson up front. If Palmer can make it, replace Madueke with him either from the start or later. I'd have Mudryk on the left because he can be tasked to help deal with Saka alongside Cucurella, who proved at the weekend that he is quick enough to take on Walker on a sprint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
