You have to wonder if he was on 8 pints a match under Bruce

It is fascinating to read what our players have said about the Bruce fitness and training regimes, ie countless days off, short training sessions and them being totally unfit and out of shape for matches. Thus they'd normally start games OK, then by 60 minutes be knackered cos they were so unfit.

They all say the change in training under Howe was a revelation.

Reactions: Obi Wan
I doubt anyone will be bothered if he plays tbh, the statement has been released and they're dealing with it internally, anyone campaigning for him to get a ban is just desperate.

The above is of course slightly influenced by the fact Joelinton is awesome; if this happened to Lewis or Laecelles, I'd be fully supporting a 6 month ban.
**** the drink part for those two. Just ban them anyways.
 
Wasn't Lloris done for similar? I said then and I'll say it again that these fellas earn so much money why don't they have a driver? Unless it was 2 glasses of wine over lunch and thought he'd be OK, let he without sin etc


Probably the latter I doubt he was out there plastered

But it would seem with only one or two exceptions they weren’t professional enough to get themselves fit. Bruce was at fault, Ashley was at fault but the players collectively were also at fault.

And that’s from someone who didn’t want Bruce from day one as the end result was inevitable.
 
Do we start Isak or Wilson?

I hope Joelinton starts also because our midfield is weaker without him
