#303364 Is it normal to get serious injury (3-4 months for recovery) during training?

Credit to Rayo as well for still trying to get forward with 9 men, it's a bit naive and that shows in the scoreline but you have to admire their mentality, about time Paco got a chance at a bigger club I think, would've done a decent job at Valencia.

Only 2 games this month so a brief update, First up was our League Cup group game against Southern District which we had under control by half time, Yiu opened the scoring early but we conceded shortly after, a goal from loanee Yuan and a Jack Sealy penalty had us 3-1 up at the break and nice to see us taking a few chances, second half was dull and some shocking defending allowed Southern District to make it 3-2 to setup a nervy final 10 minutes but we held on. In our 2nd and final game of the month we faced a Sapling Cup group game against league leaders Tai Po, for the 3rd time in the last 5 games we dominated but failed to take any chances and were held to a 0-0 draw, this is becoming a big concern for me.
Group Stage Tables & Stats
Our fate sits in the hands of Pegasus, they need to beat Southern District by more than 1 goal to progress, if they fail then we will head through as group winners to the Semi Final. Wellingsson's 2 assists against Southern District sees him joint top of the chart.
4 points in our opening 2 Sapling Cup games gives us a good platform for progression, Fernando leads the way in the goals chart with 2 and the ratings with a 9.00 rating in his only appearance.
Star Performer
Wellingsson - 2 assists against Southern District and a fantastic display from the Brazilian winger and a solid performance during our disappointing 0-0 draw with Tai Po.
Club Stats
.Some leaders in the stats charts at last, Fernando leads the way for goals with 5 and Wellingsson has pulled away in the assists with 4, Lam is the best performer again averaging 7.49 while Merson is the top passer in the side with an 88% completion rate. A financial loss of around £50k this month which was reduced slightly thanks to our annual payment from our affiliate Jeonbuk.
Upcoming Fixtures
A far busier month this time around with a Sapling Cup group game at home to Metro Gallery, we then face 3 league fixtures at home to leaders Tai Po, away to Pegasus and then home ti Citizen. We round off the month with a Senior Shield Semi Final against Yau Tsim Mong.

Hard to say who they should bring in but whoever it is needs to have a big clear out and start rebuilding, Can't see Pep going there, if it's Juande Ramos or Brendan Rodgers they'll be a laughing stock, can't see them not bringing Hiddink in to be fair.
John Still is available after Luton sacked him, could be a candidate?

Cup Draw
The Sapling Cup group stage has drawn us against HKFC, Metro Gallery, Tai Po & Pegasus (again).
Results
A month where things just haven't wanted to go our way, the first game was the opener of the Sapling Cup group and saw us beat HKFC 3-0 thanks to a brace from Fernando and a rare Huang Yang goal late on, then came back to back 0-0 draws which were incredibly frustrating as we did everything but score in both games, the draw against Pegasus also means we will likely need to beat Southern District in our next League Cup game to progress. We looked to be back on track when Yiu & Fernando netted first half goals at Yuen Long but we got complacent and threw it away in the second half conceding 2 goals from 3 attacks and surrendering our lead, seems crazy to say this has been my toughest month so far at Kitchee, but it's true, so frustrating!
League Table & Stats
We have officially dropped more points in our opening 5 games than we did in our entire campaign last season, 7 points from 5 is an awful start and although we are still unbeaten it's a huge disappointment, Tai Po still lead the way from surprise package Metro Gallery and South China continue to struggle down in mid table a point behind us. Still no sign of Kitchee players on the leader boards which shows our slow start to the season.
Club Stats
Fernando leads the way with 5 goals so far this season, Lam continues to be the best performer but his average has dropped this month with our decline in form, 2 assists a piece for Lam, Wellingsson & Qingsong at the top of that and 2 man of the match awards for Lam, Qingsong & Fernando see another 3 way tie for that early on, Merson continues at the teams most successful passer. A drop of around £70k on the finances this month, not slowing down much!
Star Performer
Fernando - The striker has been inconsistent but picks up the star performer thanks to 2 great performances against HKFC & Yuen Long, netting 3 goals.
Other News
Lam & Yiu make the midfield places in the leagues team of the month for October.
The unbeaten run continues which sees us move up to 24 games unbeaten as a new club record and 18 league games unbeaten as a new competition record.
Upcoming Fixtures
Only 2 fixtures this month as we travel to Southern District in the League Cup and then to Tai Po in the Sapling Cup.

A busy month to open the season, Our first game was the community cup against Pegasus and I struggled to field a side, with over 20 players on international duty at the time for Hong Kong I had to dig into the reserve and youth side but managed to sneak a win and lift the Community Cup anyway, Han Qingsong headed home the only goal from a first half corner and we stood firm for the win. It took just 9 seconds to open our account in the league as Fernando raced straight through HKFC's defence and slotted home, despite the bright start we were pegged back but Robbie Stamp came off the bench to net a stoppage time winner, hardly a confident start but 3 points is all that matters. Southern District were the first visitors to our stadium and we graciously gifted them a point, despite total dominance we just couldn't force the ball over the line and were held to a goalless draw. Senior Shield action followed as we faced South China, 2-0 down at half time and looking like we were heading out the lads performed a 2nd half miracle, goals from Fernando, Yiu, Lam & Wellingsson saw us complete a dramatic comeback. Just 4 days later we faced South China in the league and this time it was our turn to throw away a lead, Lam had us ahead at half time but we were pegged back in the second half and had to settle for a draw, not a bad result but a win would have been nice, the final game this month was the Senior Shield Quarter Final, another game where we failed to kill it off after Qingsong headed home a corner in the first half we never got the 2nd goal and Metro Gallery drew level in the 2nd half, thankfully a controversial late penalty gave us the chance to progress and Jack Sealy gladly smashed the ball beyond the keeper to send us in to the Semi Final.
League Table & Stats
A fantastic start for newly promoted side Tai Po who sit top with 3 wins from 3, we have disappointingly stuttered drawing 2 of our opening games but good news for us is that South China have also had a slow start. Nothing of note so far for our players in the stats categories.
Club Stats
Lam, Fernando & Qingsong all have 2 goals each from the first 6 games, Lam is the outstanding performer averaging 7.70 although Qingsong has the most man of the match awards with 2, young Peter Merson is our best passer so far and is doing well having been stepped up to a first team regular at just 17 years old. Financially we are doing ok and have reduced our wage costs for the season ahead so although we will turn regular loss hopefully it will be less drastic.
Star Performer
Han Qingsong - Our Chinese center back has been ever present for us so far and has become a vital part of our team, despite playing alongside 3 different players at the back so far this season he has turned in impressive performances every time, his aerial presence is a huge asset but he also has the ability to pick out a pass and has 2 assists to his name so far. Solid start to the season.
Other News
Qingsong & Lam take their deserved places in the team of the month for September.
We face newly promoted Yau Tsim Mong in the Senior Shield Semi Final in December.
A couple of new records, Fernando's goal after 9 seconds in the league opener is a club and competition record, and the fastest goal I can remember ever seeing on an FM game. We have also set a club record of 18 games unbeaten stretching back to last season, long may it continue...
The final deal of the window, 23 year old striker Cheng Yuan comes in on loan from Shandong having requested a move from the Chinese giants, we have an agreed future fee of £120k which is far too steep and something i'm unlikely to take up on unless he has a ridiculously good season, to be honest he isn't much better than some of our 17 year olds who have gone out on loan to get some experience but we'll see how it develops.
Upcoming Fixtures
We host Yau Tsim Mong to start the month off before our opening League Cup group game at home to Pegasus and round the month off with a trip to Yuen Long, one of the fixtures we dropped points in last season.

Expectations
Again the board care about nothing but winning the league, for some reason the Sapling Cup & Champions League haven't even entered their minds... My personal expectations are winning the league plus 2 cups again, i'd like to get my hands on the Senior Shield & League Cup for a first time. Not bothered about the Community Cup but it's another potential piece of silverware and just a one off game. No expectations for the Champions League except to try and avoid being humiliated.
With Eastern relegated last year the media sees it as a two horse race between us and South China, and we are strong favourites to retain the title.
Transfers
Akande refused to sign a new contract and chose to leave, I decided to let Naves & Piracicaba leave due to their age and lost Recio & Tarres to retirement. Backup keeper Zhenpeng decided he'd had enough and wanted a new challenge so I drafter in our national keeper Fai from relegated Eastern in preparation and interestingly they signed Zhenpeng, I also raided them for center back Clayton who I had scouted for a while last season. Lee Ka Yiu comes in from Pegasus as a direct replacement for Tarres but certainly doesn't offer the same quality but he's probably the best right winger the country has at the moment. Our final signing is 15 year old Welsh striker Leigh Griffiths that my staff arranged from lower division Lucky Mile so i'll keep an eye on his progress, a few of our youngsters have gone out on loan as well to get some first team football. More detail on the signings are behind the spoiler below...
Yiu had a decent season with Pegasus and brings in good crossing ability with a good amount of flair and a decent long range shot on him too, his all round stats are pretty good for this level but replacing Tarres means he has huge boots to fill, good luck to the lad, with his long range shooting ability i'm hoping to get a fair few goals from him.
Clayton joins from relegated Eastern, a solid center back who has just gained citizenship so will not count as foreign, will provide solid backup for a defence that performed so well last season, he may push for a first team spot but we'll see how things go.
Zhenpeng's itchy feet got me looking for a replacement when I was alerted to the availability of the country's top keeper who was desperate to get out of relegated Eastern's clutch, he gleefully accepted my advances and adds enormous quality between the sticks for us, his stats are very impressive for this level of football so i'm expecting good things here.
Squad & Tactics
The average age of the squad has dropped a lot from last year as we begin to turn to our younger prospects, i'm particularly keen to give some experience to Peter Merson this year at just 17 he will be our main holding midfielder with Naves now departed. We are a bit short of cover at right back but I have 2 excellent prospects that can play there from last seasons youth candidates so i'm not too fussed, the squad looks strong and there's plenty of depth to it so i'm hopeful of another successful campaign.
I will be using a 4-1-3-1-1 as the main tactic this season and also those are my current instructions for the team, although I am also keeping them well versed in a more direct style of play using the wide players to supply early crosses which has proved successful at certain times last season.
Cup Draws
League Cup group sees us drawn with Pegasus & Sotuhern District, nothing that particularly concerns me and we should realistically breeze through to the Semi Final.
We also face Pegasus in the Community Cup game before the league gets underway, a chance to win something straight away but i'm concerned that it falls during an international break and we are normally short of around 20 players for those, have to wait and see what happens.

haha opinions are what make football great, Fabregas is the most frustrating player in the world, so much talent but he doesn't like playing deep, he wants to be up front but lacks mobility to play there. As for Matic i'm actually a fan of what he does, but he's hardly an easy on the eye kind of player, most defensive midfielders are shit at football it's part of their role in a way.
#302522 Premier League Team of the Season So Far
gaz12321
Try and stick to a 4-4-2 format even if you have to move players slightly from their natural positions and don't think in terms of building a team just on individual performances so far.
Mine would be this:
GK - Jack Butland (Stoke)
DR - Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)
DC - Nicolas Otamendi (Man City)
DC - Laurent Koscielny (Arsenal)
DL - Nacho Monreal (Arsenal)
MR - Riyad Mahrez (Leicester)
MC - Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
MC - Ross Barkley (Everton)
ML - Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)
SC - Romelu Lukaku (Everton)
SC - Odion Ighalo (Watford)
Would expect plenty of debate here and imagine I will be one of few people not including Vardy but I personally think the performances of Lukaku & Ighalo have been better despite Vardy's scoring exploits.

Terry is too old now, Ivanovic has never been a right back really and is getting on, Cahill has never been a top player, Azpilicueta is very inconsistent defensively, Matic can't actually play football, Fabregas has been massively overrated since his Arsenal days so when Hazard & Costa don't perform Chelsea lose!
Only player that should be starting for them week in week out is Courtois when he is fit, and Willian I guess judged on this seasons form as he's the only one who has done anything. Removing Mourinho isn't going to change anything the need to rebuild the side. As a minimum they need top quality right back, center back (At least 1), center mid,, natural right winger and to actually play Remy!

The Sapling Cup has been cut off the bottom of the competitions which we won of course.
Confidence is very high, given that my only expectation was to win the league and i've done that plus won 2 cups, it was always going to be. Transfers have gone down well so far also and player performances are being recognised as well. All good on this front.
Matthew Lam scoops the fans player of the year award and certainly deserves it as well, he also claims goal of the season for a 25 yard strike against Southern District, Brazilian left winger has been awarded signing of the season seeing off numerous contenders such as Jack Sealy, Hang Qingsong & Brian Fok, the latter claimed the young player of the season award for some impressive defensive displays.

Results
Our final league game of the season was fairly dull, Matthew Lam netting for the 4th game running gave us a 1-0 lead before half time that we held on to, rounding off a very satisfying league campaign. We wrapped up a great season by completing a treble, a comfortable 2-0 over Wong Tai Sin although it took longer to make the breakthrough than I would've liked, Sealy finally made it 1-0 from the penalty spot and Lam netted just 3 minutes later to secure the win, with his 5th goal in 5 games.
League Table
A record points tally for Kitchee this season dropping just 7 points saw us finish up as champions with an 8 point winning margin over South China, who put up a solid fight this season and take 2nd place to secure a place in the AFC Champions League preliminary round. FA Cup Finalists take the drop alongside Eastern who were tipped to finish 2nd, a terrible season for the latter.
Player Stats
South China striker Jaimes Mckee claimed the top scorer award on the final day matching Akande's tally of 11 but in fewer appearances, Jordi Tarres sees out his career by supplying more key passes and creating more goals than anyone else in the league this season and he will be tough to replace, a mention for our defence as well with Kit keeping the most clean sheets in the league with shut outs in 50% of our games which is impressive.
Matthew Lam - Our stand out player this season, especially in the second half of the season and ended it on a scintillating run of form.
Jordi Tarres - The aging Spaniard had to play in an unfamiliar position and role for much of the season to fit our tactic, still oiur second best player and a vital part of our success, fair play to him.
Wellingsson - The fans love him, tricky Brazilian winger who has put in some excellent performance since signing, hopefully more to come from him in the near future.
Han Qingsong - Chinese center back has been solid in the 12 games he has played since signing mid season, settled instantly and become a vital part of the team.
Akande deserves no praise despite his awesome first half of the season, wouldn't sign a new deal and is leaving the club so I didn't give him much playing time in the second half of the season, yet still ...
He wins the footballer of the year award!! This should have gone to Lam, the shortlisted 5 players were all my players
League Best XI
3 of our lads in the league team of the year, Brian Fok for his solid defensive performances, he has really improved as the season has advanced. Lam makes the central midfield pairing deservedly and Tarres of course takes the spot on the right. Surprisingly no place for footballer of the year Akande.

We progressed to the FA Cup final thanks to a goal from Pong just before half time seeing off Metro Gallery 1-0, but it should have been more comfortable. In our second game of the month we picked up our second trophy of the season lifting the Sapling Cup thanks to a 2-0 win over HKFC, goals from Fernando & Lam separating the sides in a comfortable cup final for us, the third and fourth game meant little to us seeing as we had already won the league we were looking to continue a run of straight wins in the league currently standing at 6, Lam's goal against Southern District made it 7 straight wins but the run was halted when we failed to see of Yuen Long, Lam sent us in to half time at 1-1 after we went behind early on but we couldn't finish the job, it has extended our unbeaten league run to 12 games though.
League Table & Stats
Akande somehow still leads the scoring charts with one game to go, he has been removed for the average ratings list though which is really weird cause he should be at the top ... Tarres & Lam remain in the top 3 and Tarres still has most assists with 10. Pre season title hopefuls Eastern's worst fears have come true, they can match Southern District for points but will still go down through a worse head to head record, they will be accompanied in relegation by Wong Tai Sin, who I face in the FA Cup Final next month.
Club Stats
Matthew Lam';s impressive performances this month have taken him to the heights of being our best performer this season and has seen him pick up the most MotM awards with 6, everything else remains the same. Confidence levels remain high of course and finances continue down the same path, another £90k gone this month!
Star Performer
Matthew Lam - Of course he had to get it this month, excellent form for our attacking midfielder. He has really stepped up in front of goal with Fernando misfiring and Akande out injured he has scored in 3 games running as well as creating 2 goals, by far our star player this month.
Other News
Another Kitchee dominated team of the month with 6 players in it, Fok & Sealy get in the backline while the midfield is all our players with Wellingsson, Pong, Lam & Tarres all making it in.
Some great potential in the youth candidates this year and the main potential coming in areas of the squad that i'd like to improve in the near future, so i've got high hoes for some of these guys and i'm sure they will feature soon.
The Final Fixtures
We see the season out with a trip to HKFC before the FA Cup Final against relegated Wong Tai Sin gives us a shot at winning a treble.

The curse of South China is finally lifted, Fernando, Lam & Naves all bagged in an 11 minute spell that put the game beyond doubt just 30 minutes in marching us one step closer to the league title, heading in to the Citizen game we knew we could clinch the title officially in front of our fans and did exactly that, Fernanod continued his excellent form with a goal either side of the break, Citizen grabbed one back and threatened to spoil the party but the day was ours, the title was officially ours! A week after such joy we faced disappointment in the League Cup Semi Final ,despite battering struggling Eastern for 120 minutes we ended up in penalties, Spitz missed our 5th spot kick allowing Eastern to progress to the Final! This only fired the players up more as we heaped misery upon South China with a blistering start, Akande was restored to the team to give us a bit more edge and bagged a brace inside 7 minutes before getting injured midway through the first half, his replacement Fernando bagged a third goal before a late consolation for South China, we are through to the Cup Final!
League Table & Stats
10 points clear of South China with 3 games to go means we've won the league and can full focus on the cup competitions that we are left in, Akande still leads the scoring charts by 1 but with his limited game time and recent injury it's hard to see him staying there, Tarres has broken away as the best creator in the league and with his retirement announced i've got a tough job on to find an adequate replacement, we continue to dominate the ratings too with Akande, Lam & Tarres occupying the top 3 spots.
Club Stats
Only changes of note player wise is that Tarres has joined Akande with 5 man of the match awards and Naves has overtaken Merson as the most successful passer. Confidence obviously remains high and finances continue to worsen with a loss of £60k.
Star Performer
Fernando - The Brazilian striker had a stinker against Eastern like most of our players did but his other 3 performances were excellent bagging 4 goals and 1 assist.
Other News
A new one year deal was signed after fulfilling the boards expectation.
Upcoming Fixtures
Our Semi Final of the FA Cup at home to Struggling Metro Gallery is first up then we head into the Sapling Cup Final looking to pick up our 2nd trophy of the season against HKFC. We end with 2 meaningless league games against Southern District & Yuen Long.

Got them this time! Han Qingsong scored the only goal of the game just before half time to ease us through against South China, finally getting the better of them at the third attempt and earning a place in the Semi Final, returning to league action we picked up another win with a narrow 1-0 win at Pegasus, Fernando has come into the side in place of Akande who's form has slipped and he has refused to renew his contract, so i'm trying to increase Fernando's game time as he will likely become my main striker when Akande's gone, he repaid my faith by netting the winner here. Our trip to Eastern saw us comfortably run out 2-0 winners with Fernando on target again after an early penalty had been tucked away by Huang Yang, giving us a 2-0 win.
League Table & Stats
The gap remains at 7 points over South China but they lost their game in hand which puts us withing touching distance of winning the title, Citizen remain in the race just a point behind South China in 3rd but interestingly the side predicted to be my closest challengers, Eastern, continue to struggle and look in real danger of taking the plunge! No change with the scorers and with Fernando in good form and having taken Akande's place in the side the latter may well miss out on the top scorer award, Matthew Lam has joined the party as we continue to dominate the average ratings and Tarres remains the league's best creator with 8 assists now to his name.
Club Stats
Goals remain the same but a dip in form (sort of) for aging winger Jordi Tarres has seen Akande become our highest rated player despite not playing this month, Tarres of course is still our top creator while young Merson continues to be our best passer of the ball with 88% completion. The board are very pleased with my work so far given that the league title is within our grasp and have also been impressed with my transfer dealings, especially Wellingsson who has been impressive on the left wing this season. Finances tumble again with a loss of around £85k this month!
Star Performer
Matthew Lam - It was tight between him and Fernando but the attacking midfielder just shaded it, averaging 7.5 over the 3 games, creating one and impressing in his general play he has become a key member of the side this season.

We comfortably saw off basement side Wong Sai Tin thanks ot a first half header from Brian Fok and a brace in the second half from the lethal Akande, with our progress secured we made a number of changes for the Sapling Cup game at Yuen Long which saw us fall to a narrow defeat despite a goal from Akande we lost 2-1. Our final game of the month saw us pick up our biggest win of the season as we smashed Metro Gallery 4-0 on their own turf, left back Spitz grabbed a rare goal early on before a Wellingsson brace put us in control, Fernando made it 4 with a late strike after coming on as a sub.
Tables & Stats
We have started to pull clear of South China as they only picked up 1 point from their 2 games this month giving us a 7 point advantage although we have played a game more, going well so far. Our players are storming the stats too with Akande leading the scorers, Tarres with most assists and Akande, Wellingsson & Tarres currently the top 3 performers in the division.
We topped our group to progress to the Semi Final along with Southern District, South China will join us from the other group along with either Metro Gallery or HKFC who meet in the final game of the group stage, effectively a knockout tie. Akande is joint top scorer with 4 alongside Robbie Stamp, who is on loan at Southern District from us.
Club Stats
Little has changed in the player stats apart from the numbers, Akande now has 17 goals, Tarres still leads the ratings despite a small decline and still leads the assists charts now on 9, Merson remains the teams top passer. Confidence remains at a good level and I can't figure out the finances as we lost around £140k this month!! We just have no money coming in and losing money fast.
Star Performer
Brazilian winger Wellingsson has impressed this month, contributing an assist and 2 goals, despite a quite poor display against Yuen Long.
Transfer News
The only signing during the transfer window for us is Han Qingsong who comes in to add some steel to an already solid backline, displays solid attributes pretty much all round and has a good aerial presence, despite being foreign he won't effect our limits as he is from an Asian nation, you can have 3 non Asian plus 1 Asian in the line up so he can slot straight in to the side.
Other News
We've dominated the league team of the month and no wonder really, six of our players are in the side! Fok in defence and Akande up top plus the entire midfield 4 of Wellingsson, Pong, Lam & Tarres.
Fa Cup Quarter Final has drawn us away to South China, not a nice draw but theoretically should be the toughest challenge, so if we can get through it i'll fancy our chances, would be nice to eliminate them as well.
This announcement was a nice littler change, if we win the league we will avoid having to qualify for the Champions League Group Stage, excellent news as the chances of a club of our size getting through qualifiers is slim.
Upcoming Fixtures
Our FA Cup tie at South China is first up before 2 away league ties against Pegasus & Eastern, another short month.
