Have any of them said that when they actually won the league? or was it in the years they didn't win the league. In 1999 Man U played more games than anybody that season and I don't remember them complaining how tired they were.

Not even that they played all them games ..., think about the stamina of Dwight York - Riding absolutely everything he could get his hands on

It probably took more out of him than actually playing in matches.

Tiredness is the worst possible excuse I've ever heard from professional footballers. It's a copout & I don't believe it to be the case for any footballer for even a second. My brother has played senior intercounty hurling for the last 5 years. In the last 5 years he's had almost no break from hurling at all between club & county. He's an accountant and he often works through lunch in order to make it out the door for training. He has 3 children under the age of 6 and they've never had a family holiday, something which bothers him most about what he does. In all the years he has been playing he has never complained about tiredness. I can remember when he was 18 and in first year in college he was on the hurling & football panels for the college & the club at minor, U21 & senior as well as playing minor & u21 for the county. Between training & matches he was on the go for 7 days straight. Even then I didn't hear him complain once.............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jainey mac... give him a medal.. no he has loads , I hope.... give him a holiday or a pair of crutches

But apart from a thirty minute spell against Italy there it hasn't worked. He may well be able to do a job centrally in the future but right now he can't.

I would prefer him on the left myself . I'm just pointing out that the more games he or anyone else plays in a certain position the better the more competent they will be. |

I understand that, but at the moment he is little more than a passenger playing anywhere but on the left. I think he can drop in left back if we are needing a goal but his positioning is very suspect for to start a game there.

I agree . He and Hendrick did well v Italy and Germany when the stakes were high but they definitely lack something . Hopefully it's just experience . Managing game situations comes with that ..

Not sure he has the pace to be an out-and-out left winger. He has rarely played there for us - at most as a left-sided midfielder in a diamond, with the likes of McClean outside of him - such as against Italy. He plays that more central role quite well as he is nippy, has great feet and can pick a pass.
I think Dunphy said his best position may be left back. I think there is something to that: it gives him more time on the ball and the chance to ping more passes. Also, he has more than enough pace for that position. Not so great in the air though, and possible question marks on positioning. Playing left back for Ireland, I've always been impressed, bar the one error against Poland in the Aviva where the lad cut inside and a goal came of it. Questions re attitude are wide of the mark. People talk about him as a future captain for Ireland and he has captained us before. You don't get that from MON and RK if you're not 100% committed. His character has shone through a number of times before. Obviously, the Italy goal when he traversed the whole pitch to get on the end of the cross, and then having the guts to step up and slot the penalty against France. Sheer balls. But he is a bit of an odd player: he doesn't have an obvious position, but at the same time, HAS to be in the team because of his set-pieces. Shame we don't have rolling subs - would be great to have him on for corners and free-kicks and have the option to hook him then! |

Brady is a shocking left-back. The "lack of pace" argument is something I could never get my head around either, he's no Theo Walcott but he's still easily one of our fastest players. All of the evidence points to left-midfield being his best position, failing that he's useful in a midfield trio, but he should only be used at LB in emergencies.

We're decent enough..

Correct, although I am not sure about him in a midfield trio either. Left of a flat four or as a winger in a five are his only positions.
