Not sure abt fitness but we also got a few >1.9m tall players. Pog, matic, maguirei thot mu played well.
Soton is no easy team to play against,
they are very fit, very physical and are taller than mu players.
and they have nothing to lose.
Maguire and Lindelof were shockingly bad at defending the corner
I think its fatigue setting in, playing games every 3 days and no rotation. Ole should rotate some players who's fully fit and eager to play and perform..
We should be accustomed to this complacency by now. When our closest competitors fuk up, we follow suit.
They were not playing for a few months, i read somewhere that the players came back all in good shape. Sure, it’s not match fitness but honestly fatigue shouldn’t be used as an excuse. Saints also played the same amount of games (I think, never check) but they are hungrier, more positive and more into the game than the Utd players.
Most of us said this before the saints game, no need to thank our opponents for dropping points. As long as we win all our games, we will get into ucl spot. Just need to focus ourselves.
When the opportunity came last night to climb up third, we had to screw it up. Ball is still in our court. As long as we win all remaining games including the final against Leicester.
Mentally fatigue..
