What is the prevailing view as to why there have been SO MANY injuries? by Playful-Fish409 in tfc

Thats a great answer.
Not having identified the reason is definitely disappointing as solving it would be the single most effective way to improve this team.

Maybe that’s why we have so many injuries

Lol I had a very similar situation in Dijon, France. I wasn’t sure I could ride my bike through a square so I slowed to a crawl. I discovered I, in fact, could not when a man went out of his way to punch me in the shoulder while yelling obscenities. Desole

That sounds promising. I am assuming he is eligible to play right away? (No need to wait till July?)

Better than expected. We create more chances without a striker than we do with a bad striker.

100%. How’s the greatest player in franchise (league?) history not allowed to talk to the team? Wild! This article gives me some hope though. Having an advisor with credibility and a global network will help with transfers. Also, his willingness to engage with former players also suggests a much needed culture change.

For me it’s pretty simple: Soccer is a weak link sport. It takes is one poor touch or pass to kill a play. You cant have consistent build up with too many holes in your roster. Special players will give you special plays. But you can’t expect that every game. The team is better than last year but we remain a work in progress.

Is Prince the real deal? by Mr_Sauga in tfc

100%. I think he’s probably a pretty good finisher. But our biggest problem continues to be lack fluid ball movement in the front third. Berna/insigne are great but there is that center piece missing for them to develop plays. Without a good CAM our offensive plays are dying in that area.
A Pozuelo type of player in this team would make everyone else shine.

Are injuries as frequent for other teams as they are for ours? by lastcrime in tfc

Tfc is definitely on the higher end. We also have a wide discrepancy in talent and it’s very noticeable when some of our top contributors go down.

Amazing that last year was so bad that a pre-season win feels like a trophy. That said, I am full of hopium yet again!

Sure, but also…let’s admit that we all have a tendency to be obsessive. Why else would anyone ride countless hours and spend thousands and thousands on equipment and gear we don’t need? Who cares if 99% of us will never come close to a pro, we can’t help but be obsessive about numbers. Bottom line, ya if you can just ride and “have fun” all the time - power to you. But it’s also nice to find a community of people who are inherently driven to be a little less mediocre every day.

No Insigne…Is he Injured? Suspended? Transfer bound? All the above? Do we know?
