bluedan 93 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Gutted for the big man. Be interested to know exactly what happened because when the team came back to training I saw pics of Katic and noticed the size of his quads which are massive. I don't know a great deal on acl injuries but I think having really strong quads is a benefit if this type of injury occurs during an off balance type of injury (like Mols). On the other hand I Don't think it's of much use if it was a Gazza type of inpact. Perhaps if because his quads are in such great shape, it may make the lay off slightly less. ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never took to him at all. His lack of pace was a massive concern for me Expand Helander is slow. That's not even up for debate. He's still a first pick and that's partly because he is left sided and better with the ball than Katic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,660 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Considering all the negative comments folk are making about both Katic and Helander it sounds very much like we do need a new left-sided defender! Maybe Leon King or Mayo might step up. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely favours his right side. I believe it was someone from Man U who said he was the best player of his age group in the whole of Europe - high praise indeed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo79 15,299 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The poor results were more down to predictable tactics and a lack of cutting edge up front than problematic defending. Sticking kids in in place of Helender, Goldson and Edmundson won't win us the league. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
