The article discusses the tendency of analysts and fans to attribute injury crises at football clubs, particularly Tottenham Hotspur, to factors like playing styles and training methods without substantiating their claims. It highlights how misconceptions can overshadow the perspectives of key stakeholders—managers, medical staff, and players—each facing unique pressures. The author critiques the bias behind attributing Spurs' injuries to their current tactics, comparing their situation to successful, high-intensity teams like Liverpool, which have managed to avoid similar injury problems.
