I think people are writing off fatigue as an excuse and completely overlooking the long term effects of burnout. Yes, we might be playing a lot less games now and only once a week and we've got players coming back from injury to help with rotation. But these players aren't going to hit the ground running and the 11 that played every minute of every game for 2 months won't recover from burnout overnight, the physiological and psychological effects of exhaustion can take months to recover from, sometimes as long as a year. I think we'll see a slow improvement but I don't think we'll see a full recovery any time soon.

It looks like a number of issues affecting us at the moment, clearly everything that has happened this season has taken its toll on us. Players look forlorn, devoid of confidence and composure, mentally drained which in itself causes physical draining. Add to that you'd have to imagine Howe is acutely aware that returning to full throttle football that won us so many games last season could easily see us losing options again. I think he's playing it safe which is leading to us inviting more pressure on. With such a one paced midfield and a keeper glued to his line were going to keep leaking goals. He either has to change our shape and make us harder to beat or open us up and have us turn the game over on the front foot. Whatever this is dangling in the middle is a complete horror show.
