Cou injury is Rafa's fault.There is no doubt that this kid has great talent but he is way too young and fragile to play all games for Inter.Rafa's fault 100%.

That's not Rafa's fault. That's MM fault that didn't bring any better player than Coutinho, Biabiany and Pandev and thus the reason that Benitez had to play them all more than they deserved or could handle.

Last year we played with the same players and we were Champions of Europe,we won Serie A ,and Coppa Italia. This year after only 12 league games half of our players are injured and you say that this is not Rafa's fault.Is it Cou and Biabiany's fault that we don't play so good(i think not). "The fish smells from the head" and the head coach is Benitez.

I can remember the derby game. Cou wasn't in the starting line up. Everyone cried.
Now he is injuried and everyone cries cause he played to often.

Please stop these double standards.

Benitez does things wrong when he has the choice, but there are also situations where he has no choice, like playing Cou that often.

The training may do his part in this injury crisis, but now to think it is Benitez fault that he plays Cou to often is ridicules. All in all it was Morattis who thought that Cou is ready.

What i want now is that someone from the club comes and explains this situation. What is wrong and what happens during training. It is hard to believe that Benitez's training is wrong and nobody comes to him and say such a thing. All in all this is a professional club. Benitez has his assistants and they would notify him is something is wrong. There is no way that everybody watches until our last player is injuried.

Am i the only one who thinks that this whole injury crises might be more joses fault then rafas? I dont really wan t to balme jose for it coz i still love the man, but looking at the situation i doubt that all these injuries come from rafas training since i don t remember him having such big injury problems at pool or valencia.
Now why should it be joses fault you might ask?
Lets go and look at last season a lot of us were complaining that jose hardly rotates players if no body was injured it always were the same 11 players starting. Now these starting players had a lot of games that season we played 3 finals, plus there were a lot of matches through out the season in which our players gave more then 100% (chelsea Barca .. ). Then after the season finished there was also a world cup which also took its tool on our players.

So i rely think only blaming rafa for the injuries is unfair but saidly very popular since it s the easiest thing to do !

sorry for posting this in the wrong thread i thought i was in rafas thread.

What about Coutinho? Mariga? Pandev who played for only half a season? Obi? Mancini?

A very credible source (which can't be named) has been quoted saying today regarding Coutinho's injury:

"Coutinho got injured in the training yesterday cuz Rafa asked the kid to arm wrestle Lucio. Coutinho was earlier heard saying he is the best Brazilian player ever, which Lucio seemed to disagree. Once Rafa was informed about the situation, his solution to settle the matter was once & for all was to organize an arm wrestling match between the two, so everybody knows from now on who is da boss."

Ok i agree that he had some injurie problems at pool and valencia first but as far as i know they had not as many problems as we are having right now! I mean our half squad is already out injured and we have about 3 new injuries per match!!! Plus i did not want to say it s mou s fault but for me simply saying it s rafas fault is not right. Imho all of Moratti Rafa and Mou should take part of the blame, Moratti coz he did not get any fresh blood to the squad except some youngsters, Mou coz he kind of overused our squad last year ( Don t get me wrong i d want him to do it again but imho it has sothing to do with our current injuries) and last but not least rafa also has to take part of the blame coz he s in charge now.

You are not alone thinking that. I read an article where it said that some are claiming that Mou had 'sucked the players dry' and they had nothing left (specially with the WC.)

It's a theory, I think it's 50/50 tbh.
