My son and I were discussing before the game last night that it would be difficult to justify dropping him for van de Ven but you would wouldn’t you - Ben has been superb though

You can't just casually mention your son without also telling us his age mate.

We've missed Romero way more than van de Ven. Without that pace in this system Davies has to be so switched on and he has been so massive credit to him.

Has there been any news as to the possible severity of the hammy pull?

We had to sacrifice Gentle Ben to the hamstring gods for Mickey....

Strange how 3 central defenders have done their hamstrings. Having to run back a lot more than normal.
Apparently some of his other teams were the same in the first season,

In what way is it different. I know they seem to run a lot more but they have always been runnimg in some form or another. Could he not have learnt from his previous teams problems and adapted the training somewhat .

A couple of ways. They are running back to recover over longs distances and they're having to consistently turn. It's just different conditioning to sitting back and pressing out short distances.

It’s weird that Ange’s CB’s at previous clubs didn’t really have this hamstring issue, PL more intense and fast paced and end to end I suppose.

Different because far more longer explosive sprints than under Conte and more pressing so more fast short bursts.
Needs completely different conditioning and muscles won’t be used to it. Hopefully once they have one injury mosts bodies will adapt to the new workload.
