Interesting piece in yesterday's Sunday Times re Pearson & LCFC. In particular they reference how NP works closely with his conditioning team (physios etc) and takes their advice on individuals training loads etc. Up to yesterday he has had 96% availability for his first team for both matches & training sessions. They looked at why they faded so badly last year and took their analysis to another level & we all know the results of an injury free settled team. Compared to what we've had to put up with this season it's a stark contrast. I don't think arry would pick a settled team even if he could and I think this is a stark contrast to the dinosaurs running our team compared to a progressive modern approach that looks at diet, individual conditioning requirements etc. Tony F should read this & learn
This statistic is also interesting, compared to our ever changing squad. Dyche's small squad Leicester and Burnley, the two teams to have been promoted from the Championship this season, have both used the fewest players with 23. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/27016258
