That second half needs answers.

Hi mate. Welcome to GOT!

Introduce yourself in our New Signings section https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/forums/new-signings.42/

Changed to a back 3 to get the best out of our attackers, then when we were struggling which happens in the prem to every team he brought on 2 midfielders to shut up shop and it worked

Decent, he stopped the rot

 

[Gilbert..]

fitness is a massive reason

they looked dead on there feet around 60 mins

His time at Bayern is telling when it comes to this

Shouldnt you be concentrating on leicester?

He can go all football manager on that one.

To be honest it was as poor as we have been all season but the travel after internationals played a part for some, others need a long look at themselves.

 

[Leylo]

Defence too slow yes, but come on bit of positivity scored some great goals first half tired second half got 3 points job done happy days ! Next!

Why is it the club persists with managers who dont prioritise fitness and sign slow leggy players


Fitness was shocking under Martinez, Koeman, Silva and hasn't improved much here either.

 

[Egil Olsen]

The most important thing today was to get 3 points after a series of poor results. Then we had periods in the first half which were very good, and which Ancelotti will definitely build on.

 

[Goat]

He really, really needs to get to the bottom of these Jekyll & Hyde performances. Is it purely fitness or something else?

You do realise the majority of our squad hasn't been with him for 2 weeks, right?

God knows

The game now is fitness and speed, we have neither

 

[Goat]

Unreal this, having a pop at Carlo cos all our players have been on a plane for the last 2 weeks.

Honestly you people deserve Big Sam.

 

[sd_1992]

Not a team that can play on the back foot. Needs to realise this.

Yes mate, and I'm not necessarily pointing the finger at the tactics but more the conditioning of the players because, quite frankly, it's a disgrace how unfit they look most of the time. I'm talking outside of the international breaks there as well.

What an ignorant comment. There are big alarm bells ringing about the defence that can’t be ignored. That isn’t anything to do with the international break.

We’ve kept one clean sheet in the league all season and two in all competitions. It’s a disgrace.

They’ve looked unfit for weeks

Honestly you people deserve Big Sam.

its like we lost 3 games on the bounce and then nearly gave away a 3-1 lead to the worst team in the league in 45 minutes.
