What's new

Carney Chukwuemeka

Surely he'd be first choice backup after Enzo/Caicedo as an 8 (assuming Lavia playing the deep role)

 
Great goal - feels like that could be the confidence boost he needs to really kick on and show exactly what he's got.

Touch wood the injury isn't too serious.

 
Really nice goal - nothing but praise for his contributions today.  Also really hoping the injury is not as serious as it appeared

The physios allowed him to hobble off the pitch without a stretcher, so it seems unlikely it's a cruciate ligament injury.

He also seemed to initially injure it whilst overstretching and picking up that yellow but carried on playing for a while after, which wouldn't be possible to do with a cruciate injury.

 
From the moment he went off, our attack was toothless yet again. Whats the betting it's 2 months or more.

 
His injury actually lowered our level in attack.

Any updates on him? It seems like he has a crucial spot for now.

 
Looked really good first half bar the marking at the corner kick. Took his goal nicely and was involved in a lot of build up play. Really hope his injury isn't as bad as it looked.

 
Can't be too critical about a 19 year old's marking at a set piece, you'd think one of Silva/Disasi/Colwill would be covering the back post. Impressive performance nonetheless.

They also let Nkunku walk off too.

 
Missed him when he was injured and went off. Was the main link between midfield and Jackson. Think he could be a very important player for us. His touch and control is superb.

Was about to say he could be the surprising breakout player for us this year, don't think any of our wingers can bring what he brings

Nkunku wasn't thought to be too serious at first, although you'd think the physios would have learnt their lesson from that.

Nkunku's knee injury is also a meniscus, which is at least significantly better than a cruciate.

Will be typical if he’s out for the season. 

 
I suspect we won't know the extent of the injury until he has had scans etc. Probably a day or two. Fingers crossed he isn't out too long, but we haven't had any luck with injuries the past few years.

 
As expected once given more game time he looks a right player, not just a good touch but also plenty of strength. Injury is a worry, so fingers crossed. Losing both him and Nkunku would really stuff us up.

 
Him being subbed off and Enzo's pen miss were the turning points of the game. 

We are cursed, I feel so bad for the lad, finally hitting his stride...
