If we're f***ed fitness wise, I'd be horrified when the lads suddenly jump into 2 games within 48 hours like the Atromitos-Chelsea games, and possibly more if we hit the group stages.
Only 20 mins of preseason, played all games with France in the Euros, extended holiday, etc.
It was a joke dude.
I know m8. Just saying why he's so unfit.
Ridiculous if its the case, the team come first whatever the formation.
Prollly waiting for him to get on some scoring run centrally before slotting him back left in the 4-3-3 once he can score from anywhere.
Ditch this 4-4-2 asap. If all Pards is doing is to try to get Ba play more centrally, it matters more that we get scoring and play in what fits us best.
