Well no, I certainly would not be inclined to go to the Emirates with Soldao and Defoe starting but craven cottage?; not such a big deal.
That's why I said I need to see how he changes the team. Not going to judge him yet either way. Need to see him over the Xmas fixtures first.
I attempted to make a point last week that I didn't really understand the whole 'match fitness' nonsense that, a player takes 3-4 games to get back to form. If a player is fit and ready he's ready to go in my opinion. Look at Ade today, 2 games back and 3 goals, Danny Rose has played exceptionally well in my opinion
Not disagreeing with your post but I made a point last week that I didn't really understand the whole 'match fitness' nonsense that a player takes 3-4 games to get back to form. If a player is fit and ready he's ready to go in my opinion. Look at Ade today, 2 games back and 3 goals, Danny Rose has played exceptionally well in my opinion, Chiriches had a solid performance as did Eriksen. I think they have more to prove when they come back to keep their place so if the physio deems them ready, play them all you want I say.
I actually agree with you on match fitness, but I still don't think they will play Ade against West Brom, Stoke and Man Utd, after 90 mins. I think he'll be rested against Stoke.
