Good point, echoes of Bale under AVB?I'm not all that convinced about Poch being this big reason for our late goals and it all being as a result of fitness. Most of the late goals have been pieces of exceptional quality from one player (Eriksen usually) or a free kick (Kane at Villa). I haven't seen us pulling teams apart with our quick passing and untrackable movement in the 92nd like, say, the Arsenal of old. Our pressure in the last few minutes isn't relentless, it's just that we happen to have a player in Eriksen who has exceptional technique from outside the area and when it gets late/desperate enough he chooses to unleash it. It's not a question of fitness, IMO, it's a question of circumstance.
