      F**k me just woke up to this! Reports saying he went down in a fair bit of pain and there was no contact hoping it’s not a ligament. Ffs!

      F**k mate, woke up to the same sh*t F***ing news but there were mentions of Pickford being involved but Southgate said he was by himself when it happened. If that's the case, that is not a good thing. F***ing shattered. If it comes out Pickford was involved, I'm flying over there myself and taking him out!!!!

      Get well soon Joe!

      How F***ing sh*t is this! Hope the young lads take their chance with both hands and could hopefully raise their confidence and levels a lot quicker. Shame for Joe though as he had put those poor performances behind him and then F***ing England come along. What is the point of squeezing these pointless games into the already over scheduled fixture pile up? Madness!

      It's the overall schedule being so compressed - all of it. This was a non-contact injury in training. It could have happened at Melwood (now Kirkby) just as easily. If he wasn't training with England he would have been training with us. Trent was just running in a straight line and he got his. Seeing it with players all over the Premier League as well.

      I wonder if teams might altering their own training schedules radically.





      Ok so there was no contact involved with any other player, then it is simply down to over exertion, we are talking about fully fit athletes here who would not normally just collapse in pain, of course there are different tolerance levels to consider from player to player but it looks like for some they don’t get enough rest/recovery time, Joe sadly has been racked with too many injuries for someone  so young and I fear ultimately that this will shorten his playing career,
      Again, no one knows the extent of this latest set back but by all accounts  it isn’t looking at all good for him,

      It’s time the authorities started listening to the Managers/ club’s medical staff , they know what’s best for these athletes, it’s as clear as the nose on your face that these players due to fixture congestion are not getting enough rest between matches, the 5 subs issue starts to make sense when you consider that all other leagues across Europe adopt 5 subs except the EPL, a league that has more fixtures per season, 38,the two domestic cup comps, then the two European comps, and the international fixtures for World Cup qualifying, European League qualifiers, and of course the absolute meaningless friendlies,

      From now on, if I were Jürgen, I’d seriously consider asking the players to withdraw from international duty unless it was meaningful and said player wanted to play, or would they rather stay at home and have family time, unless the authorities start listening to those who know better than them , managers could be forced to offer player’s a alternative , the club’s pay the players wages after all, it’s the club’s assets that get damaged, possibly losing millions in lost revenue.

      Something needs to change for the welfare of those players.

      If Rhys or Nat end up playing which they will next time Matip gets injured or cant play then that will probably spell the end of the 4 forwards on the pitch idea.

      Klopp will revert back to a 4-3-3 I think with 3 hard working midfielders looking to give protection to the centre halves.

      Very soon it could be Rhys and Nate playing together with Milner at RB which would be far from ideal.

      We may well soon find out if Jürgen prefers Bobby or Diogo in his ideal starting XI

      Perhaps Bobby can play CB?

      So much bad luck, but Klopp always knew that Matip and Gomez are injury-prone. He should have replaced Lovren.

      Hope it is not that serious as being reported.

      Fingers crossed.

      That sucks, but on the positive side he has got us to this point, where we are more or less qualified for the next stage of CL and are towards the top of the table. With the exception of Leicester and Spurs we now have a run of of easier, on paper, games up to the end of the year and then we just have to spend big to get some quality brought in, at least 1 CB if not 2.

      Hopefully with a bit of luck, which we must have earned by now, we can have Matip and Fabinho up till that point and also rotate in Rhys and Nat as well.

      Gomez is way too injury prone, unfortunately we can’t rely on him for the future.

      It’s clear we need to invest

      No he isn’t -


      Having a couple of serious injuries that can happen to anyone doesn’t make him injury prone - being in and out of the physio table is injury prone and Gomez hasn’t done that in his short career so far

      This is Joe's third big injury and he's only 23. It could have a big impact on his long term fitness from here on.

      We will need to sign a new experienced top CB in January now unless we want to write this season off. So we may need to spend big unless we can get a good deal for one which will be tricky in the January window.

      He had an ACL and a broken bone - both of which after recovery didn’t affect his ability - just like the tendon injury won’t as well. He is still young and many other players have had worse and still played long successful careers mainly because of the modern science

      Let’s not write him off just yet


      Yes we potentially might need to bring in a CB but I can still see only a short term one whilst they bring through the likes of Phillips , Williams and Koumeito

      Operation on a knee tendon. He will miss a significant part if the season, does not say season over, though Id read between the lines on the "significant" part of the statement

      As if the club fixture list isn't bad enough, they have to pile on these stupid F***ing "friendlies" that only serve to fill the FA coffers.

      Feel for the lad, it seems every time he gets back to his optimum injury strikes yet again, he will come back from this I have no doubt, and he is young enough for his body to fully recover, this again raises the issue of players playing too many games with very little time for rest and recovery, this just isn’t coincidental, it’s happening at other clubs too,

      It really is time the authorities Listened to the sports scientists, physio’s etc about players welfare, instead of listening to the cash dropping into their coffers, but my guess is that they don’t actually give a shiny sh*te about that.


      Good luck Joe, hope you aren’t out for too long !

      Tendon injury during practice? That really is just truly shitty luck. How often do we hear about players getting significant injuries in training? not often at all.

      I don't chalk this injury up to the schedule as i think fatigue from the schedule is more likely to result in muscular injuries, like what we saw with Arnold, that are more short-term. Gomez must have had a hard collision or tackle or something in practice to damage a tendon to the point of surgery.

      Hope it's not the patellar tendon....

      "Similarly, after a complete rupture, the patellar tendon surgery recovery time will also vary. Immediately following the procedure, the knee will be immobilized, and the individual will need crutches to assist with mobility for a few weeks to prevent reinjury. It may take a full year to make a complete patellar tendon tear surgery recovery. Many patients experience weakness in the injured knee even after the patellar tendon has fully healed."
