Jamie Vardy and Leicester City stars to be rested during 'unfair' and 'nonsensical' schedule

[Ric Flair]

West Ham are muck, we should play Danny Ward up front

Get Vardy starting in the next 3 games and then spunk £50m on a new striker on Jan 1st and rest him then

You were lucky!.. that's nothing.....

We were made to play 3 times a day, 7 days a week and then had to still train for 8 hours on Christmas day..

Then, we had to go home and live in a hole in the road under a tarpaulin.

You were lucky, I was the one digging the holes.

Might not be far off.  With the two fixtures on either side of it wouldn't be surprised to see something close to an all-sub eleven for that one.

I've been shot down on here before using the tennis comparison 

 

Anyone who goes to the gym will know that DOMS usually happen two days after a workout, so I can see Brendan's point that they'll all be fvcked for the West Ham game.

 

Saying that, how the hell do tennis players do it? Different sport and movement I know but I'm constantly amazed at their incredible level of fitness.

It’s much lower intensity and non contact. A 90 minute football match is different level tiring to even a five set tennis match. I can tell you that from experience.

 

It is physical feat to get through a tennis tournament but what they ask footballers to do over Xmas isnt really feasible.

Seems all set for Brendan to send a shadow XI to West Ham doesn’t it? That way the first team can play today, Boxing Day & New Year’s Day, resting v WHam & Wigan. 

Honestly can see only one other option, namely to rest half the side against the Hammers, the other half against the toon...

I suppose West Ham are in the same boat so I wonder how they will play out their games with Palace away and us.

Let him have his fair share of WKD, Skittles Vodka, Red Bull, and Port.

 

He will be fine, he is the elastic man
