villan-scott Posted June 6, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 6, 2016 I bet he's costing us a pretty penny looking at his site and history. Fitness was, shockingly, one of our biggest downfalls last season. There's no excuse for that in the modern game. Hopefully we can have a proper preseason where the players actually start the season fit and prepared this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 He was at Parma between 96 and 99. They were super fit. We should aim for Leicester's level of fitness with this Italian sport science expertise. With honourable managers like Guardiola, Conte, Stam and more than likely Frank De Boer joining English teams this year then expect fitness levels to rise.

The same Dunne and Collins who went out before a match? The same Evra that went to Juventus and said "I didn't understand what professionalism was until I arrived in Italy"? Duverne might have an ego but I think I know where the problem lies tbh... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn1982 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I'm glad we have this bloke in and I hope he doesn't take any crap. I thought It was a shame Duverne left when he did as he should've gave the players individual fitness regimes for the summer. The days of turning up with a beer belly have long gone so it'll be interesting what players take their personal fitness seriously. On this it's good to see Gardner training through out the summer. This is his biggest year for us let's just hope he can stay fit as I said this last summer then he gets crocked by an awful tackle in a friendly.

It makes a big difference. I think that because of the heavy schedule, pretty much all teams fade late on when the're on their 2nd game in a few days.

sne Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Not putting any blame on Marchesi and his team, but so far it's looked like a few of our more senior players, McCormack, Jedinak and possibly Elphick has looked a bit off the pace. Hopefully they'll be able to sort this out because it's a very long season, and the windows for recovery will be few. Especially for those players who are involved in their national teams.
