Said basically that they have been on this training regime for effectively 3 years now but with less games in the PL compared to the championship the players in the squad have plenty in the tank to go 90-95 mins if needs be, also made an interesting point that we are really only playing one match a week compared to some of the other PL sides so that allows us to recuperate.
But reading between the lines would that mean that Marcelo's liking of "small" squads would hinder us if we do have a European campaign? We didn't really have any sort of cup run either this season so certainly the likes of Klich, Harrision & Dallas would struggle to maintain their running stats "if" they had to play another 10 games, but i'll settle for top half finish again next season but i would love us to target the cups, just look at the out-pouring of emotion on Saturday when Leicester finally won the FA Cup. A decent cup run (and luck of the draw) could see us in a QF and from there anything can happen, big boys could be drawn against each other, a lower league club could make it draw them and one would think we would be red hot favorites to make it into a Semi-final, imagine the buzz, imagine the interest in LUFC, imagine young kids wearing white jerseys all over the world, the glory days would be within touching distance once again.
Christ, and I would have been happy to finish 4th from bottom this season!!. It's a shame the games are ending as we are getting stronger and stronger, completely bonkers! What a team.
Yup, but I would settle for 10th! Amazing season. Thank you the God that is Bielsa!
Could end up in 8th position
Hell yeah!

Heard an interview by Dallas on Saturday
