Its like whack a mole with our first team and injuries at the moment
Ox should be back any time now though which is something.

Ox being back only means hes a few games form being injured himself.
Keita injured again aswell. Losing patience with him now tbh.
I lost patience with Keita ages ago, I'd sell him tbh
He only played 15 minutes against Wolves. and only 83 minutes in the previous 13 days prior to his injury. It's always a balance of rest versus game time to keep sharpness.
Ox is the unluckiest player, all his major injuries have been impact-related, rather than muscular. Unlike Keita.
I hope better luck for Ox this season. He's such a fantastic player with brilliant work ethics.
He was well-rested and didn't have many minutes under hit belt in the last couple of weeks before that game. Made sense to play him to keep him sharp and confident. He was unlucky but that's the risk.
It's easy to Monday-morning quarterback the coach's decisions, but this is pretty well established in football that you want your players to play if they're well-rested to keep them sharp.
Btw, increasing the size of your font while repeating the same thing doesn't make the argument any more sound.
I understand that but this isn't any normal season and he has been sharp since joining us.
I just think he wasn't needed in that game, means nothing now anyway is what it is
You do have to keep players sharp so i got it to be honest. Trent and Salah tho...not for me.
We are 2nd (we arent joint top and i wish people would stop this) with an obscene amount of injuries. It just goes to show what a job Klopp is doing. Fabinho and Hendo at the back and they dont concede and in fairness look ok? Thats next level management. We will be ok, we will sign a cb in January and players will start to get fit we just need the sicknotes to stop being bloody injured. Its about time Naby, Shaq and Ox had some minutes.
If we are in with a shout in Jan we walk the league.
If we do, I would love it to be Upamenco , though I highly doubt it would be. He has the perfect attributes and play style to fit into our way of playing.
Likewise.
I'd move him on, even when he isnt injured I'm unsure of how he fits in, where he plays and I've been far from convinced by him when he does play. He doesnt seem to fit in with our system or formations at all and almost always looks like a lost sheep on the pitch.

We need to have a clear out of all the sicknotes. We have far too many players who are stealing a living and never being fit to play more than a handful of games a season. I think we all know who those players are.
Problem is with Klopps high tempo game plan we are a lot more susceptible to injuries than other teams, some players might be fine and not get injured playing the way other teams do, this is why I wish he'd use subs a bit more, he can't moan about not having 5 subs etc. and then not use the 3 he's allowed until 93rd minute or so.
He can when the options last night were Origi and some kids.
