jawillwill Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 What's the verdict? Knee injuries can be bad, but at least he could walk off so maybe more precautionary... I suppose if he had to get injured, today is an OK match to do it with a 2 weeks break coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red&white56 Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Was very good vs qpr and newcastle, poor vs norwich and liverpool was one of his worst games in the shirt.

S-Clarke Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 His knee seemed to twist, one of those innocuous injuries. 2 week break is good timing, but I doubt we'll see him again this year based on what I saw close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chez Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 worrying. We don't have any cover there at all IMO. I thought Ramirez did well, really driving hard at the fullback, but he's not a left midfielder and left Shaw exposed a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Maybe it would be easier if we made it multiple choice. Was it; A - A scream of delight B - a scream of despair C - a scream if you want to go faster D - a scream of terror, like when seeing a ghost or like the woman in the shower did in Psycho E - a totally different level of screams the type that only angels and dogs can hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stain Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Small scream = not serious injury, someone stepped on his toe medium scream = minor injury, maybe out for a couple of days large scream = pretty serious injury, out for a between 1-3 weeks very large scream = really serious, won't see him again this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example my dad didn't scream when he had a car accident, yet he's fractured his pelvis. My sister let out s loud scream when she saw a spider but she was in no physical pain whatsoever Good point. We need a matrix with the size of the scream along one side and the how much of a drama queen the player is along the other then we can truly judge the nature of the injury. Drama queen status is as follows: Very large DQ - will scream loudly if the ball goes near him Large DQ - will scream if the ball hits his face medium DQ - will scream if the a player punches him small DQ - never shows any pain or emotion Size of scream: small. Medium. Large. Very large DQ status: very large large medium small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the technology involved in football nowadays, and that Saints in particular embrace (Prozone for example), its surprising that we don't have a Hughie Green type of 'Screamometer' available to us.

Turkish Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Apologies, my matrix of scream size/drama queen status isn't very good. Can someone type it up better? No, I thought it was quite good and with my limited knowledge of Lallana I would say he is a medium drama queen and the scream was large drama queen scream so he'll probably be back for Fulham.

dubai_phil Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 As Bearsy seems to be the forum expert on inflicted pain, perhaps we could get him to create a screamometer.

VectisSaint Posted 9 December, 2012 Share Posted 9 December, 2012 Oh feck - neither of those injuries is good news but Yoshida is worse as we are so thin for our CB cover. Hope both are precautionary. As Adkins stated several times in different interviews, this is standard procedure, put a brace on the leg, let the injury settle for 24-48 hours and then analyse it. I would be surprised if Yoshi is seriously injured as he played on after he was hurt in the 2nd half and completed the game. I would also not be so worried about playing Jos against Sunderland or even Stoke, but would be happier with Yoshi back for Arsenal. I think we saw yesterday that we can play well without Adam, but I'd rather he was fit than not of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam ..as one of the shortest (and perhaps) lightest players in the squad, I should think getting thumped by a 12 stone opponent might hurt a bit more than a 12 stone striker getting the same " treatment" .
