Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted January 16, 2022 Fantastic win yesterday, but I was concerned with Max and Tim, less so Williams (who looked like cramp), potentially adding to our injury list. The list has thankfully come down but is still pretty long (Normann, Gilmour, Rupp, Omobamidele, Zimbo with McLean ill yesterday) and including some important players. It was very noticeable how Krul went off really quickly and took no part in the ‘celebrations’ yesterday, as I’m sure he would have done. I couldn’t quite see what happened to him, it looked fairly innocuous but landing awkwardly can hurt - and we saw with Hanley that it can lead to a spell out.

Danke bitte 965 Posted January 16, 2022 The EDP says that Max was a dead leg, Williams was cramp, Hanley landed awkwardly again and Krul was the most concerning, as he hurt his shoulder apparently. Of Krul, it’s less than ideal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barry Brockes 147 Posted January 16, 2022 Tim Krul suffered a 'concerning shoulder injury' which will be fully assessed today. First impression was that it didn't sound good but we'll see what today brings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astro 360 Posted January 16, 2022 It looked like Hanley was having issues with his shoulder to me too. I fear Aaron’s may be out for some time though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted January 16, 2022 I’d not heard/noticed Hanley was struggling yesterday, but I think they did say he was having injections. Friday is a pretty crucial game, it seems likely to be too soon for those already out so we could rather do with having any additions…but the way things have gone you have to fear the worst.

Aaron’s was seen by Michael Bailey after the game without the protective boot or crutches. He seems to hold his ankle a lot in games, hopefully it was all just precautionary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not think it was innocuous, the Everton player took him out whilst he was in the air gathering the ball, got right in underneath him (red card in Rugby 😀), I think it was retribution for time wasting. As Krul lay on the floor the same Everton player had a go at him and bounced the ball off him. Genuinely surprised that the ref did not book the Everton player, but then he did not give a free kick after Richarlison took Max out after the ball had gone.......

Sounds more iffy than I realised, and it’s not been shown again. Just have to hope it’s ok and feels better after a day or two. Us needing to rely on Angus longer term doesn’t seem the best prospect right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His arm looked limp after a foul against him about the 70min mark, and he was feeling his shoulder a bit from that point on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the challenge on Aarons was at the very least worthy of a yellow. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may be he is struggling with something long term as I feel he has lost that bit of pace and drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dean Coneys boots 1,400 Posted January 16, 2022 Perhaps last foreign loan should be a keeper- Gunn is a liability at this level - just look at the results when he plays - a bit harsh as others contribute- but not altogether Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert N. LiM 4,342 Posted January 16, 2022 Smith said after the game that Aarons was fine. Krul sounds a bit more worrying. Hanley is continuing to scottishly play through the pain barrier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TESCO 70 Posted January 16, 2022 Think if Krul is out for long term a new keeper this window is a must. Angus Gunn for the remainder of this season would be awful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I concede that he’s got older, but whenever McGovern has had to step up before, he’s done a decent job, something that quickly gets forgotten it seems.

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted January 16, 2022 I think the problem with McGovern is that he’s barely kicked a ball in anger for an entire season. I suppose it’s always an issue for reserve keepers - perhaps more than any other role you need them ready to step in and be on top of their game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
