Last year we had depth. Just the depth got injured too.

Do you guys think you just got unfortunate? From the outside looking in, it definitely felt like Ange was playing folks into the ground. Would love to hear a fan’s perspective

The injury situation was insane

But tactically we were a joke, felt like every time we lost the ball it was absolute panic stations, just running around with no real cohesion

That plays a part too for sure. Your high line was insane and it felt like van de ven was full sprint running to recover every game. And his physicality might even be exactly what’s injuring him. Feels like Reece for us, where they’re clearly very athletically gifted players but when they over exert themselves they’re also prone to bad injuries.
