Players Fit Throughout:
GK: DDG
LB: Williams
CB: Harry, Victor
RB: AWB
DM: 0
CM: Fred
LW: 0
AM: Mata, JL, AP
RW: James
ST: Mason
No backup DM, CM, LW & RW meant Jesse, AP, Mata played a lot. Hence no creativity.
Also AWB has had no rest & Williams couldn& #39;t be eased in.

#Ole has adapted well to these setbacks:
With no DM: 4-2-3-1
With McT & Rash injured: 3-5-2
Now with Matic &Bruno but no McT: 4-2-3-1
Once McT is back: 4-3-3
Being forced to switch tactics so often means it& #39;s impossible to establish a singular style of play or tactic.

You& #39;ll say, he shouldn& #39;t have sold so many. But the rise of Rash, Martial, McT, Mason, Fred & Brandon is due to slots opening up.
Short term pain is necessary for long term gain.
Also these many injuries are partly due to bad luck & partly on the style of play under Mou.

We were one of the most unfit sides in the league. Mou& #39;s slow tactics meant our fitness was shot.
We were amazing initially under Ole but then the form dipped bcz our fitness levels caught up with his high intensity game.
That& #39;s why Ole& #39;s preseason was all about fitness.

The players complained at preseason bcz obviously they haven& #39;t been pushed like this before but now we can see the results.
We play out from the back, pressing high & moving fast.
Our team is as fit as any now & with the improved fitness levels, injuries will reduce too.
