Kieran Tierney: Tesco’s Finest

[Rex Stone]

Where does it say he has a knee injury?

The official site reads;

Arteta just said it in his press conference. Didn’t give a timetable either.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Arteta say they will assess if the discomfort will be still there when he lift weight. Yesterday Arsenal said he should be back to full training next week

We have such a knack for finding talented, but injury prone players...even if they aren't injury prone when we sign them, you better believe they will become made of glass as soon as Arsenal get them

How else are we gonna get them at a discount? Not that we pay a discount.

Out another week. Arteta ran him into the ground, no need for the 120 minutes. He got rid of a back up LB for no reason apart from the fact he didn’t like him.

Kola-Özil-Guendozie = the Axis of Evil.

The title already reflects the general mood of this forum.

Surprised more didn't get made of what Keown said about London Colney contributing to this:

Ex Arsenal player, Martin Keown has come out and explained there is something wrong with the pitch.

“These are grass and artificial grass hybrids and are quite hard surfaces, and by the end of my career I could feel every impact in my joints. Imagine training on that pitch every day. Wilshere has been playing on it since he joined the club as a young child.”

There is obviously s problem with the pitch, but as Keown explained, Jack Wilshere has been at Arsenal from day one and he is constantly injured. Another example is Danny Welbeck. When he was at Manchester United, although he did get injured, it wasn’t as much as he is now, within a couple of months of signing for Arsenal, he was injured…

Ex Arsenal player, Ian Wright also spoke to Rio Ferdinand about this and he explained

“I spoke to Rio the other day and he said he had to train there with England and it was noticeable instantly.”

This is so Arsenal. No inquisition has ever been made into it either.

There has to be a common denominator, maybe this is it. Do other clubs have similar training pitches or do they use just grass? I have no idea!

I remember this being a thing after Cazorla's big injury

 

[Macho]

I doubt the pitches have much to do with Tierney or Wilshere breaking down somehow. Tierney had priors before he came (that people were happy to dismiss mind ) and Wilshere carried his injury woes long after Arsenal.

Some of our ever present players a lot of the fans don't like (Xhaka) hardly ever miss a game.

Not outright dismissing it but a lot went into the training facilities, Wenger was really obsessed with that sh*t.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Xhaka been training in colney since 2016 and he only missed handful of games duo injury unfortunately not all players can handle that specially with the fixtures Tierney was playing non stop since start of season so I'm not surprised by his injury

 

[Trilly]

So I guess we have to accept that KT is quite injury prone. That’s now two seasons in a row of him missing a noticeable amount of games.

Probably changes things in the window now as you’re now looking for a back up LB who is basically starting quality rather than someone who you don’t mind playing a handful of games a season.

Thread title nearly gave me a heart attack!

Whomever made the thread title, you could have blood on your hands...

I think they all use 3G pitches to train on these days.

My mate works for a firm contracted to kill the grass at Hale End and the Emirates every year for the relay , and I’ve knocked a ball about on both pitches. It’s always in late August so the surface is always pretty firm anyway. I have no idea why Arsenal would opt for a more compact surface with a shallower soil and sand mix than any other club. I don’t even see how that could benefit them even if they did. It would obviously be a disadvantage to us because all the other clubs would be training on more or less the same surface. The surface at Hale End, Colney and the Emirates are all identical spec.

That's obviously bullsh*t, if it was something that simple they would've fixed it ages ago.
