Some Arsenal players are ripe for a dose of the runaway train that is Jeff Schlupp. I recall him clobbering Mertesacker last year forcing an early sub by Arsenal.

Dan LCFC Posted 18 August 2016 Share Posted 18 August 2016 70% fit according to Ranieri. Absolutely ridiculous that this has been allowed to happen. Comfortable loss for me unfortunately. Fitness is a big part of our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're off the pace, yeah you're absolutely right, madness to be 2 weeks into the season and nowhere near ready to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 18 August 2016 Share Posted 18 August 2016 Fvcking ridiculous that he keeps trotting that out as if it's acceptable or a valid excuse for shit performances and results. Why the hell are they only 70% fit two weeks into the season? Completely unacceptable. It's like going to an important meeting at work really pissed, making a complete hash of it, and then telling your boss that its fine because you'll be a bit less pissed at the next meeting. They've got no right to charge us more than 70% of the ticket price if this is going to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normal Statements with many coaches, in Europe. No great issue.. It refers mainly to across the board, not just team selected ,bedding into the new season, with changes in squad, new tactics acquired and balanced fitness in prepeation including backroom staff into the new season, including pre-season that are just kick abouts and warm ups Its a % level that can only be developed, by actually playing league games. Might also be the case by teams approaching the time upto competing in the Champions league. Look in past where top clubs got off to flying starts then faded, some could re-adjust, and pick up their season and runs. Getting ahead of yourself too early, even if fortune sees you getting wins, when not quite prepaired to planned % levels. Real top clubs sort it out, because they have a squad, who have that extra tick of quality and form for that given season, or you do an Arsenal and accumalate atrocious, continual injuries.

I think last Summer pretty much everyone played 90 minutes at least once or twice, It was more like 45 minutes per game this Summer and getting smashed. Liverpool for example played 9 pre-season games (I'm not advocating for the same) and you could see how fit and sharp they were against Arsenal. I think although the club wont care because $$$, it was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think although the club wont care because $$$, it was a mistake. We also had to treat the Community shield as a competitive game, we couldn't rotate as much and we had to go through the right sort of recovery. The ICC, the travel involved, the competitiveness of those games (and lack of possession), 3 players involved in the Euros (4 if you include Kaputska), Morgan at the Copa America, there were other internationals going on too, new signings from leagues that start later than us. It is understandable that we aren't 100% yet, and we aren't the only ones, Wenger and Koeman have both said the same thing. Another week working on fitness and match sharpness we will be better on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
