^ Don't be a tool just because your team is shite.
I'm saying this because my team is pretty shite but I'm not a tool.
Sahko has been nothing but brilliant when he actually gets to play. He'd start on pretty much every EPL back line.

Other than Hendo and Sturridge what other impact players have spent time out.
3 of their CBs are out. Gomez started the year in the back 4 but tore his ACL a few months back. Lovren was playing the last few matches due to Sahkos injury and got hurt this past weekend against West Brom. He is now out for a month. A club losing 3 of their top 4 CBs is a big deal, regardless of name. Plus Ings is done for the year with an ACL tear, and Sturridge the glassman is always on and off the injured list. Pool has been getting pillaged by the injury bug this season.
ETA: But the bigger deal to me is Leicester being atop the table this late in the season. And they have a +12 goal differential, which is tied for 3rd best in the league.

I said impact players. Sahko was pretty much the only one in the back. Lovern is shite, and Gomez has a long way to go.

Mourinho straight throwing players under the bus, and then backing the bus over them again and again and again.
Damn.

“One of my best qualities is to read the game for my players and I feel like my work was betrayed,” Mourinho told reporters after the match. “One possibility is that I did an amazing job last season and brought the players to a level that is not their level and now they can’t maintain it.”
Damn.

Welbeck has played less than Sturridge. Wilshere has played less than Henderson. We've lost koscielny and mertesacker for a few games as well. Just lost Sanchez for about as long as firmino, lost Ramsey for longer than coutinho. That's not even counting Walcott, Chamberlain, Rosicky, Coquelin and Cazorla.
I'm not sure what metric that article used, but just bc Arsenal is deeper than pool doesn't mean pool has had worse injury luck

i think you may be missing his ultimate point... only united are allowed to complain about injuries. all other injuries are irrelevant.
also, i hope chelsea gets relegated, that way city won't be the only team to have won the league one year and been relegated the next.

City's injuries are not like United or Arsenal
City like everyone else just isn't that good and is widely inconsistent. Especially in the back four
We've had some injuries, but it's not like they've totally fricked us. Our best player this season is KDB any he's been fine. It's mainly been Silva and Aguero who have missed considerable time up front, it was just unfortunate that it was during the same spell.
Other than that it's mainly been the Clichy injury to start the year, Zaba and Kompany. Even though I think Mangala and Otamendi have been fine, and by fine I mean we haven't lost every match surrendering four goals each time out.
I guess I'll count the Delph injury as well since he's been fire since he's been back.

Nasri has been pretty big too, especially when Silva went down.

Liverpool wouldn't have the same quality step in like Arsenal would right now. And we have a new manager so it heightens the need to have a fitter squad.

I'd be lying if I said I remembered him. Probably his silver hair that pushed him out of my mind.

Arsenal will really be tested in January after Ramsey and one other player inevitably pull a hamstring after being forced to play in every Holiday match. Arsenal may not have the most injuries, but the injury bug hit us in the most shallow area of the squad, center mid. Cazorla and Coq formed a formidable pair in the middle. Now, with Ramsey and Flamini, the gameplan has to be completely different.
Back to the topic. I think Leicester is the bigger story. I know it hasn't been to this magnitude, but doesn't Mou always suck in his 3rd season? I think Chelsea will figure it out and finish in the top 10. If Leicester can even finish top 5, that is something nobody would have guessed.

They haven't played fearsome 'pool, or the consistently dominant City? My stars! Leicester are frauds!

If Chelsea didn't have Diego Costa I might not care, but since he is there I hope they get relegated.
I'm a Diego Costa hater. No doubts about that.
