Fabian Delph

He and Cleverley just looked like they didn't have the legs today. I think both players should be rested next week or at least only play a bit-part so they can be at 100% for the Final.

 

Special mention for Fab though, he has come out and apologised for what he himself has described as a disgrace. Judging by his body language he quite clearly meant it.

I think getting a booking as early as he did affected his performance abit in terms of getting around the pitch and closing down players like he normally does, no excuse for constantly giving the ball away though.

For the life of me I do not understand why Sherwood didn't rest him last weekend, he looked fatigued then and looked fatigued in the cup final, madness from the manager.

I think he played most of the first team in the hope they could get some confidence back after the Saints game.

This is a perfect example of how people misinterpret footballers being "tired"

 

It doesn't mean he's so tired he can't stand up, or he can't physically play a game of football. Or he has to have a lie in at the weekend because he's had a long week.

 

It's all relative.

 

If you're playing a team like Arsenal and their team is relatively fresh, let's say operating at 95%, and your midfielder isn't quite as fresh so is operating at 80%, it's a huge deal.

 

Delph is probably less "tired" than every single one of us on VT. But when you're playing at this level, it's not about how tired you are relative to the average person, it's how tired you are relative to the opposition.
