might be his 'farewell' shirt. cheers for helping out brad but times time.
Most players from the past will tell you that the notion of players getting tired from two games a week is bollocks. I forget who it was but I remember one player from the 70s saying that a player is more than capable of playing twice a week and, if anything, should be excited to play as often as possible. If he doesn't then there's something wrong with his hunger to play.
Are we though? With a fully fit Parker and Dembele, and Falqué waiting in the wings, we potentially have seven midfielders (Siggs, Sandro, Thudd and Livermore), eight if Mountinho were to sign. That's without counting Dempsey as a midfielder.
In the second half they were, not in the first. The shitness of the second half evened out the greatness of the first. To use the old cliché, it literally was a game of two halves.
AVB was essentially using Dempsey as a striker today, once Defoe went off. So, in effect, we do have three. Indeed, the OS even has Dempsey down as a striker.
