Injuries

You break the cycle by changing some things
If it’s purely wait until everyone is fit, that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon
What you don’t change is who you set up because that’s what’s ingrained. That’s muscle memory
Bug fresh legs even if they are a youth players really wouldn’t hurt. I don’t rate Mainoo as much as many others but he injected an energy into a very lethargic side when he came in. We have youth players on the bench who will at least run.
That sounds so basic I know but it creates impetus. The old Harry Redknapp misquote of “get on the pitch and run around a bit” isnt far wrong where we are at, at the moment

The only youth players we have that have been involved are Moore and Lankshear, no?

I think most of the others that could potentially have been reasonably asked to get on the pitch and run around a bit are out on loan.

It's a huge step up. I think the main options Ange could have given more game time to are Lankshear, Werner and Reguilon.
 
The video doesn't show the team doing more than a gentle warm-up though.

It's not as if he's been spotted in a training game yet.
 
I'm going to be controversial here.

Sarr was withdrawn early in every game in January. Sounds like he has had a known issue for a while. He has been with Ange from day 1 and knows what is expected from him. Why was he even training at an intensity where he suddenly needs to withdraw from training? What may have happened if Sarr had been given total rest after the Everton game and told to report for the pre-match briefing only? What may have happened if Sarr had come to work, done the stretching and warm ups with the squad and then only did a personal plan indoors with a fitness coach? Only working on body areas that were nowhere near the impacted muscles so they get the rest e.g. front crawl in the pool with a float between your legs.

It sounds like I'm being patronising to the experts, but we can calling it bad luck but is there more to this? We are in an injury crisis and surely that means taking extreme measures to wrap these player up in cotton wool. Is that really happening?

Perhaps I'm being harsh.

You have no idea what intensity he was training at.

It doesn't just sound as though you're being patronising to the experts mate ;)

His point is valid, if you consistently have 10+ players out of a 22-25 man squad out, hopefully (I/we all don't know), training is very light, almost no contact and everyone anywhere near red line is sitting it out.

We are playing 3 games a week, very little fitness work needed.

The fact that we have lost 2 players in the last week in training is very concerning

Again, he, you and I have absolutely no idea what training the players are doing.

Assumptions are being made and conclusions are being jumped to with no evidence at all.

I have no medical, physio or conditioning training, as I suspect is the case for 99% of this forum. Therefore I have no idea what is best for high intensity athletes to be doing between games, just as pretty much everyone else on here has no idea.

Now I would hope (but never guarantee with some of the corner cutting that goes on at Spurs) we have some of the best people in these areas that money can buy. I therefore find it somewhat laughable that people with no knowledge of what should be happening or any knowledge of what is actually happening can make posts saying we're doing it all wrong.
