A bit of stiffness and thought it might be a problem so taken off to protect him.

 

The swings and roundabouts of being a supporter and a father. Did young Lewis tell porky pies in the first place.?

 

Jose felt he had what amounts to a 'twinge' - he believed that further exertion - another 45 minutes of serious running and turning - might result in a hamstring strain, so he decided (probably with full agreement from Ron) not to risk himself for the second half.
Because he didn't play in the second half, he did not pick up an injury,so he should be available for Sunderland, and future matches.

 

Regarding Fonte, his comments after the match kind of justify the discontent some posters had after the match with the performance in the second half

“This cannot happen again,” Fonte stated. “That is why everyone in the dressing room was disappointed after you win 2-0 at home because if you want to compete with the top six, then you cannot allow yourself to have this second half.

 

For me this switching off after decent starts has happened in several games this season - the better teams like man u and Leicester took full advantage of it. It is not a problem that suddenly appeared against bournemouth
