To the earlier post, laugh reaction is not liking. It can mean many things, in this case I just laughed, because it was laughable. A natural reaction.The ignore route, you really are insecure.
Dude, I have waited a long time to feel this way and have cautioned lots of people against getting carried away. HOWEVER, the spanking we gave Sp**s has convinced me that, we are ready to finally be competitive, thats all I ever wanted, so we can go into games without me thinking "we are most likely gonna lose" LOL.
Not you too. I don’t deserve this. Just a simple poster expressing his views, polite to everybody.
Our squad looked great against Sp**s and the depth was way better than their’s. The likes of Tierney and Tomi on the bench. And Arteta’s injury record is one of the luckiest in the league since he’s been here. Last year he was second from bottom in the most injuries league. Our squad is looking very solid, thanks to a big spend, and long may it last.
Yeah it has been very lucky how much ESR, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Partey, Laca, Auba, Ødegaard have been injured. Martinelli got a bad injury too. Even Xhaka and Elneny have now been injured with a bad injury like never before. Oh my...
Mate I’m almost certain you can find a way to make our excellent injury record look bad. In fact I’d bet on it.Yeah it has been very lucky how much ESR, Tomiyasu, Tierney, Partey, Laca, Auba, Ødegaard have been injured. Martinelli got a bad injury too.

I have already explained how that list can be misleading, and the injuries last season were pretty close to some other top 6 teams if you consider every facet of it.
Yes, our injuries were low last season because we were knocked out of every competition early and couldn’t even qualify for the European Conference League. That is sort of a skill in itself.
You said Arteta has been very lucky with injuries in his time at the helm here. "And Arteta’s injury record is one of the luckiest in the league since he’s been here."Mate I’m almost certain you can find a way to make our excellent injury record look bad. In fact I’d bet on it.
Last season we had 520 injury days which was second best. Yes there are other ways of looking at it but they all look good. Total injuries was 16, 3rd best. Total absences 27, 6th best. Injuries per 1000 minutes played was 5.1, 5th best. Compare to Wenger days where legs were being broken for fun, players kicked into the camera pit and got gangrene in the ankle, the luck is on a different scale. Let’s hope it continues, I’m not complaining.
Yes I saw it on numerous Twitter posts at the end of the season and I copied the table. I thought you had me on ignore?
Are you sure that is from the end of the season? Because last time I argued about this, the share was from just when we got the injury-crisis where Tierney, Tomiyasu and Partey were injured for a few games at the same time. So it didn't include it at all.Yes I saw it on numerous Twitter posts at the end of the season and I copied the table.
Yeah, just like I thought. "At the end of the season" you say, yeah right. It's the same chart I argued against already to a different poster, in this very same thread.Yes I saw it on numerous Twitter posts at the end of the season and I copied the table. I thought you had me on ignore?
You have already just lied about how more many games Tottenham and United had compared to us last season in this thread. So it's you who should learn the facts. Here again you're lying and saying we had 40 game season. No we didn't, we had 45 games. United had 49 games and pretty easy UCL group with Villareal, Atalanta and Young Boys. Tottenham had 53 games and 5 of those were easy Conference League games.
Also you need to learn how to think about statistics. This link you gave has similar problems as the tweet which mentioned a list made from Transfermarkt squad and injury information.
Also this is disingenious, because the list you give ends at 5.4.2022, and that coincides almost exactly when we started having Partey, Tierney and Tomiyasu injured all at the same time. Of course then the other teams also have a bit more injuries at the end of the season, but this injury-crisis was clearly our worst and it is not taken into account.
I counted that we had 28 injury absences from that point on and 9 games. That makes it on average 3 players per game. It's also 43 days in total, so if that's on average three players, it makes ~130 more days missed due to injury. The one player who also missed games was Lacazette I think who was a starter.
If you add that 130 to the list's 520 days due to injury, it's 650 days. City had 707 missed due to injury with a similar sized squad (20), but better quality. For example United seems to have had 4 proper squad players more in their squad, and naturally with more players it's more easy to get more injuries into these statistics. Tottenham seems to have had 3 more proper squad players more, if you count Scarlett as third striker, but I counted Balogun too. Still Tottenham had 756 days missed and United 806 days. The difference is 57 days more for City with a similar sized squad, 106 days for Tottenham with 3 more players and 156 days for United with 4 more players.
Then you also have to take into account what players are missing. Are they some minor squad players or youth players, or important first team players. We had important first team players injured. This list doesn't take that into account in any way, and it has a huge impact on how much the injuries matter or how big crisis it is.
So there are many things to consider when looking at statistics in a list like that. Yes we didn't have huge amount of injuries last season, but it's not as simple as saying we had very small amount either, especially as the injuries happened, I think, almost always to starting eleven players. Can't be bothered/have time to look how it went for other teams regarding the importance of the players injured. It's a huge difference if for example Winks is injured vs. if Partey is injured, but in that list it has the same value.

That table was published by Ben Dinnery on Twitter. He’s the chief analyst for PremierInjuries.com.
Yes, I just posted the tweet above and it is not from the end of the season like you claimed. Care to comment about the subject matter?
Looks like it was published in April. So it’s pretty close. Show the end of season table then.
So, you ignore my counter-arguments to the tweet in the quote I copy pasted above? I have already explained how that kind of list can be misleading.
Things aren’t going to change that much in the last few weeks. Show the end of season table, so we can compare.
I don't have that kind of list, but in the reply I counted our injury days from the end of the season. So please comment on those things I have said in the post.
