Fitness of the players

[summerisle]

Why do we always run out of steam ? It's not as if we're constantly pressing. Undoubtedly Moyes' consistent refusal to rotate the squad is a factor, but is there more to it then that ?

We have 3 fitness coaches. One whose previous job was at Blackburn Rovers. A second whose last job was in Australian rugby league. And a third whose CV consists of roles at Wolves, Raith Rovers and Dunfermline U17. Are they good enough ?

Some are going to make the point that Moyes hasn’t rotated the squad enough.. which I mostly agree with.

However, that should be no excuse for an apparent lack of fitness, not like we’ve had deep cup runs is it!! We had 3 league games in March & April. They should be flying!

We have 3 video analysts and 2 match analysts. I wonder what they actually analyse ?

Way they appear to be knackered has me wondering if dyche is at the training ground getting them doing gaffers day every week

Said a few times now. Look at the amount of minutes someone like Rice will have had at Arsenal this season. There's no way the likes of KDH should be running on empty. Out of both cups early on and doesn't even play international football.
