3 Games...7 Days

[AnOldBrownie]

I wasn't thinking about this, but it's probably why Ryan and Tom were subbed today.   They have to play today, Wednesday and Saturday against Man Utd.   I'm thinking Johansson will also get a lot of minutes in the next two game.

Hopefully Schurrle and Anguissa are back by Wednesday.   

[AnOldBrownie]

Legs are going to be dead tired on Saturday, and United has way more quality depth.


Schurrle is going to need to play 90 minutes.   I'd also play Anguissa and have Seri sit.   Cairney needs to play 90.   Joe Bryan should start...

Cyrus Christie is going to burn out if he's the only right back option.   


Players looked tired at the end of yesterdays game.    It's going to be a quick turnover for tired legs.

Adrenaline, Adrenaline and Adrenaline, and the will to win will get them over the line.
They are playing Man U, not the 1970 Brazil World Cup Winning team.
Relax and get a firm grip, they get compensated with a lucrative salary, if a player can't hack it, then they should not have signed their contract.
Although I have a feeling that they are less concerned about this notion of feeling tired than some supporters.
6 out of the 14 players did not even play a full game. 2 of them only played half a game, 2 played three quarters and 2 played only a quarter.
The word tired should be banned from the dressing room.

Same for every team and they are professionals so they need to suck it up and get on with it!!

An early goal to give us a 1-0 lead and all players will feel as though they could play all out for the remainder of the match.

All this tired nonsense.
Christ when I was a lad,I did 2 paper rounds morning and night,come home from school lunchtime to go to the shops for my mum (who was in bed ill)and get the groceries.
Back from school afternoon then paper round,then help my sister clean house get dinner on for my father coming home from work.
Then out to the park with pals for couple of hours footie,(next goal the winner).
Clean shoes,mine for school in the morning, dads for his work.
Tired don't make me laugh,pampered football players.
😜

Totally agree, they are professional athletes, can you imagine what they would be like if we went back to the days of no subs.

[Jimpav]

Why all the cyncism about footballers not playing 3 matches in a row?

You only need to look as far as the difference in speed and quality between the Championship and the premiership.

Fitness has never been important.

Give these players a little understanding they probably have to carry their wages home, 25,000 in bank of England notes every week, heavier than a few newspapers.

I thought you had one shoulder lower than the other, due to looking through key holes all these years.

Your right, I never thought of that, I take back all I said.

It may have been a different game in those days but in the 1950s/60s they played three games in four days over Easter.
They certainly had to work for the pittance they were paid.

No subs , heavy pitches and sodden leather balls to contend with.

[Andy S]
