yeah, Kane, Toby, and Vert have been healthy and they're the guys who aren't immediately replaceable (tho Wimmer has looked good at CB in limited minutes). Most of our injuries have been in MF where we're supposedly deep so I guess you can look at that as luck or as the luxury of a decent bench. Dier prob belongs in this category too.
Dembele has been hurt and that is very very bad for us. Sonny got hurt when he was a confident new guy playing great and about to entrench himself in the 11, he's never really recovered. Eriksen had a knock early in the year; imo it's possible something's still wrong with him and it's being kept quiet.
Bentaleb and Mason and Townsend have been hurt a lot and although these were worth it because imo better people took their place, Bentaleb especially is a young unknown quantity and the injury sucked for his development. I guess Clinton N'Jie is in this group.
Chadli has been hurt which for me is one of the top twenty reasons we're challenging for top 4
