Kinol 337 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Because players get injured in friendlies. It happens.He may be considered an injury prone player, but its his first injury. People are already writing him off because of it. It's ridiculous, give the man a chance. Christ.Who is writing him of? I mean isnt Marin the player that all fans praised during the pre season? People are just getting worried as he has been know for being injured a lot. I still think he will come back strong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Has this been confirmed ? I thought RDM said it was just a slight knock?(before the game against Brighton) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Has this been confirmed ? I thought RDM said it was just a slight knock?(before the game against Brighton)It was then reported that Marin had a minor hamstring problem but the 'minor' has become a 'major' one.

EskWeston 696 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 CTV said he would be available for selection again in a week. Marin is a very talented player but no one expects him to be one of our main starters, when he is available for us he will be a great option. Like Robben, great player with injuries but when he is available you get a lot out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 He's a backup. In his stead, Malouda (lol) or Sturridge or Ramires can come off the bench to see out a game. We're proper fucked if we lose another 2 wingers at the same time, though.No need for concern whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capriccioso 2,545 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 And who, do you think, is our main winger if it is not Marin?In order of preference:1. Hazard2. Mata3. Marin4. Malouda5. Sturridge6. Ramires7. Kakuta8. Oscar9. Torres10. BertrandI couldn't care less that they are playing "out of position"- they have all played as wingers before and they've all excelled/at least looked competent. And that is the order that it will stay. 4-2-3-1= 2 wingers only; therefore Marin is a backup. A like-for-like replacement for Kalou. I couldn't care less that everyone thinks Mata and Hazard and Ramires are not wingers, in my book that is exactly what they are and exactly where they shall play; and my book is based on the one Roberto Di Matteo chooses his team out of. He would sooner play someone out of position than sign 5 "wingers" that can only play in that 1 position.The winger died years ago anyway, now all they do is wank about, cut inside and shoot. Any idiot can do that, he doesn't have to be labelled a winger to do so. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 In order of preference:1. Hazard2. Mata3. MarinWell then Marin is a starter since Mata and Hazard take the LW and CAM positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marin will be on the bench. He was signed to replace Kalou and unless Hazard bombs out, that's what he'll be, depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marin will be on the bench. He was signed to replace Kalou and unless Hazard bombs out, that's what he'll be, depth.Mata will play in the middle as we saw in the CS. RDM changed our whole system just to play him there and even denied Eden hazard's, the man we paid 32m for and signed his younger brother just to keep him happy, quite public requests to play there. I don't think he's going to change his mind now, certainly not for Oscar who is miles away from our starting XI.Assuming Mata takes the CAM position, and Hazard one of the two wingers position, I think Marin put in the best application for the second winger position in the preseason tour. Although RDM does like wingers who defend so he could still go for Rambo, not that the starting XI is rigid and will remain the same for the whole season.

We do have 7-8 wingers, therefore Hulk, Moses et al can take their wares elsewhere. CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
