While this is terrible on our part, and horrible for Dan who had performed dutifully in a (relatively) unfamiliar position, I wonder if this actually will encourage us to dip into the market for a RB?
Yeah, I think that was about the most angry I've ever seen an injured player. Obviously he knew what he'd done before he even left the pitch.
I was playing yesterday and a few friends told me about it. Poor sod. Best wishes Dan. Let's hope for the best.
Just recovering from an Achilles snap myself - that’s his season over but hopefully with good physio he should be back next season
I believe his contract ends in July so this would have been very much on his mind as he would have wanted to play as many games as possible to put himself in the picture for his next move/contract. No wonder he was not happy!
No point. Just do what we did with Gosling - plug a surplus midfielder in there. Maybe Clevs? Bound to be fit soon.
While I am unaware of Cleverley ever playing there, I do fear this won't budge the Pozzos, especially as Ngakia and Gaspar should be available after the break
Apparently he wanted come off but the medical team said he was good to stay on and then his Achilles ruptured a few minutes later.
When we talked about players playing on through the pain barrier, we didn't mean through a potentially season/career ending Achilles injury!
If he really had wanted to go off due to potential injury, then why didn't he do what many footballers are prone to do now and sit down on the pitch to either receive treatment or ensure the game was paused until he could be subbed?
