We've all bust a gut to get up the pitch, stopped and then struggled to get back. Watch a 100m sprinter at the end of a race drop to the floor. No one is asking them to to turn around and run back at the same speed.
No one? Loads of our RB in particular have been lambasted, for this very thing, Trippier coming with/after Walker (who himself, the most naturally suited to a modern full back, couldn’t hack Pochs demands).
The system should cover this need, drills to prevent two or more high intensity, within 5mins, except at death of halves.
Guardiola is king of this finite detailing, so his group rarely fatigue in phases of high running.
Rose used to get grief over defensive application, until except his Golden 2-3years.
Maybe this season, with our more knarly midfield and attack, we will camp/strangle more, diminishing this dynamic, hope so!
