It is a struggle to keep up with what the optimum amount of games is.....there's always an excuse
I did laugh when he posted that. Internet experts.
It’s not an exact science. Plenty of top players will say they hate being left out and they want to play every game. Others don’t give a shit. They’ll sit on the bench for as long as they can without it worrying them.
Personally I always want guys who are in the first category not the second.
They can hardly keep their eyes open apparently
Think about a world without internet-experts.
I would probably still have Twitter, CUNTS!!
So the narrative moves now that we have discovered that he hasn’t actually played that much!
Cause he’s got a warrior’s mentality and was trying to help us in an obviously tough time.
Or he’s a professional footballer and was just doing what he gets paid very well to do. Play football.
That’s probably it.
But then why play hurt/tired and potentially damage your long term earning potential? Seems obviously a personal pride thing, to me…
Playing hurt and tired is something all top sportsmen do. You’ll hear ex players in all sports tell stories of times they played through injury or pain. When it’s your job, you just suck it up and get on with it. Otherwise you don’t get to this level. Elite level sport will filter out those without that mentality pretty quickly.
I mean- I hear you, but I’m not sure that fully explains this siuation. Also I think the times and mentality have changed- players should be, and are being more proactive with regards to their long term fitness- sports science have better awareness of these issues nowadays generally.
The narrative…..Jesus it’s Simon Jordan. Dejan has probably run more games and training than many at other teams because of Angeball.
Say that again when you compare Dejan with Brennan Johnson.
I meant the general narrative around football - it seems to be a game every:
4 days = playing too often, tired
5 days = lacking match fitness
All on Ange I’m afraid. He has ruined this man’s legs as he’s done to many others.
He fundamentally doesn’t respect the physical demands of this level or the physical limits of players. Totally arrogant idea of football.

Footballer forced to play football shocker.
I think most SPURS fans have suffered enough stress down the years to technically consider us fractured!!!
....stress fractured!!
