Not another team in PL with that lack of energy, intensity. There's no press or closing down. Yeah we're missing Richarlison but the basic lack of fitness is terrible.
 
Nothing to do with fitness regime imo its down to the recruitment

Bernard is weak as piss
Gomes is a tugboat
Siggurdsson is a tugboat
Tosun is a tugboat
Iwobi is a tugboat
Coleman is the wrong side of 30
Keane is a tugboat
Mina is a tugboat
James doesn't run
We sign nothing but slow players and wonder why they struggle to keep up against players who are quick
 
Just bumping this. Made up with win, but no way that side is at same fitness levels as other PL teams. It’s why we’re timid, passive, sloppy late in games and lack any real intensity. Still early days but need to get this sorted to compete for top 4/6.
 

Its a major concern, isn't it?

At this point, ANY team in the league can put us right under the cosh as we're always gassed after an hour. It's not good enough.
 
True i think it was partly they looked tired from internationals partly we just drop right off we cannot seem to keep intensity for 90 mins. We got deeper and deeper which may also be fitness, mentality and a issue with the 352 if you drop deeper and deeper you end up with a 532 on the edge of your own box.

Don’t think the start of this new season has helped anyone. Short break between last season. 3 cup games and 9 league and in between a lot of international games. England for example have played 8 games since September of which 2 where freindlys and not needed. We have 4 players travelling to South America and back.
 
We looked like this under Silva at times where we're just gassed by 70-80 minutes, Don't wanna be too harsh cause this season is really congested with a lot of games.
