Jonesy91 Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 How everyone can't see what the main issue is, is baffling. Its the players fitness levels. Yes confidence is low but that's because they aren't fit enough. Why do you think we start games okay and then gradually fade as the game goes on? It's why ranieri changed tactics to hoof ball, less running, and also less closing down. The area of the pitch that is most noticeable is defence. Players can now run past fuchs with ease. Didn't happen last season. Has beetroot juice been added onto WADAs banned list?

There's nothing wrong with that, if it isn't on the banned list then nothing can be said. It's just amazing how slow all the players are compared to last season. Low confidence doesn't affect your speed

Low confidence doesn't affect your speed But it does effect your motivation and drive to try and win every ball. Just look at Vardy, he hardly runs anymore. As shit as Okazaki was yesterday at least he was running around like a headless chicken looking interested,
David Guiza Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 I agree that the levels of fitness have been way off last seasons efforts, however yet again it's not the one single reason for the issues. You cannot say that fitness is to blame for Wes Morgan misplacing a 2 yard pass, Huth letting the ball roll under his foot, Drinkwater being unable to hit the target etc. Just another key difference in what is a long list of failures.
foxy boxing Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 we were the fittest team in the league last season with very few injuries where as this season there is clearly a lack of fitness amongst the players for whatever reason. our pre season was a disaster for the club with too much travelling and not enough planning for the oncoming season.

Hoof ball leads to more running since you run for your own passes (which you won't get anyway) and then you have to run for the ball you just lost. It's litterally the most primitive and inefficient way to play football. Especially at Premier league.level.
st albans fox Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 We ran 4km further than united yesterday its about hunting in packs and being clever about it no confidence
RowlattsFox Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 You always feel more knackered when you're on a bad run and lack of confidence does have an effect. More mental fatigue then anything else. Lack of a proper pre-season means we were always playing catch up but that shouldn't be an excuse anymore.

FLAN Posted 6 February 2017 Posted 6 February 2017 Explains the lack of little cabbage opportunities however some one of the should Caesar their opportunity to play
erlee Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 Fitness is one thing (How do you lumber along when you are big/fat like morgan?).. but mental is the other. Tell how do you became english Champ to Chump in 1 year?? can't explain it? it is mental man... all in the head. right now- they have rubbish in their head & vomit in their eyes. can't see, can't think = can't play
foxfan92 Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 I just saw this picture (obviously since it's in the previous post) And thought that Mahrez and Pogba were taking a moment to play the worst game of hide and seek ever. Mahrez - "Can you find me?" Pogba - "Sh&t it's like he just vanished into thin air!"
dayday Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 I think there's 120,000 reasons why Vardy doesn't run and harass anymore.
Callabinho Posted 7 February 2017 Posted 7 February 2017 It's a bit more than fitness m'lad..try inept tactics for tactically inept people.
