Injuries are a part of football. A. Villa and Newcastle have been hit by injury crisis this season, they have spent far less than Man. United but are still performing fairly good in comparison. The problem I have with Ten Hag is the lack of a style of play, with or without injuries.
Yes, but losing 60% of your first team players to long-term injury is a problem not only for the club, but also for the coach. Prior to the Newcastle injuries, Chelsea and Manutd had been struggling with injuries since last season, but I'm not going to talk about Chelsea because Poch is shit; he did nothing when all of these players were available, whereas ETH Manuted was pushing for the title and a strong Top4 when all of his players were available.
Arsenal suffered some injuries last season and squandered a big lead to Manchester City. Newcastle went from fighting for a top-3 spot to losing seven games in a row due to injury.
ETH is handling a very difficult job + fans pressure.
