This is the ctrl-alt-del of a season

He took a kick on the knee

People should remember this when starters come on as subs in seemingly unimportant games sandwiched between important games

I listened to a podcast with a French physio who said that complete lack of intensity is as bad as overloading. If you want to reduce the load on the player you need to incorporate some high intensity and low volume like 20 minutes a game rather than no intensity altogether

The idea were doing all the budget on Isak…
We need about 10 new players for enough cover

Timber? That looked like a contact injury to me.

Luckily looks like Timber was an impact knock to the knee

I don't know if the link works, but this podcast by Football Vision was an interesting listen about injuries.

tim-stillman.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yes I listened to this

But I want my cake and I want to be able eat it!

Gabriel had two long international flights. Surely that's a bigger issue than only playing one of the games? And timber was kicked tbf.

tim-stillman.bsky.social•49 days ago

I don’t think so. The thinking with most elite outfits is that if you play all the time your body relies on you playing all the time.

liamjmulvey.bsky.social•49 days ago

I guess it all combines. So one game + travel = less match time and less training as well = underloading.

tim-stillman.bsky.social•49 days ago

I don’t really think travel comes into the equation. When you lost every game your body is used to playing every game and when that rhythm breaks you’re more at risk.

So we just need the magic amount of “loading” and everything will be ok. Simples!

The same night Saka returns to the squad, Gabriel’s season ends. A sentence that sums up Arsenal 2024/25.
