Anyone would think it was personal with you 😁 Why don’t you tell the truth then? I prefer to judge a former Stoke legend who has his heart in Stoke if it’s ok with you Which Stoke legend with his heart in Stoke are we talking about? Is it the one that supports Everton and used to stick transfer requests in or a different one? Fairly sure hes stated hes a Stoke fan in recent times (prior to his return) and Im fairly sure he desperately wants whats best for the club Doesnt mean hes the right man for the job though |

He's just said in the press conference "In the last 6 games, we are the team in the Championship that have ran the most in all the metrics" Can't be true. Schumacher left a load of unfit fat tosser behind and it'll take the rest of the season to get them up to speed... |

What he didn't say though, was most of the time it has been chasing shadows🤔. I am not a fan of all these metrics figures and data, I am sure most fans would rather we run less, but more intelligently, as at present we are like headless chickens.

If fitness is our problem it’s impossible to lay it at the door of the new man.
SS is solely to blame for that.

Fitness isn’t a problem. Fucking the players up with double sessions and not managing the fact they play Saturday Tuesday however is a problem.
This manager clearly has no idea how to manage players fitness . He should be responsible for the performance levels, i suspect he frigged gallagher up .

Of course we've done the most running thats inevitable when you are chasing the opposition because you haven't got or cant keep hold of the ball

Fitness shouldn't be a problem to any modern day team considering the facilities they can use.

Pearson to an extent also seemed to be a bit chunky but he was never the leanest or most mobile Despite a poor performance we created the 2 late chances v Bristol City to win it and Swans we were the better and fitter team second half Not bad for a massive problem |

Fitness is definitely an issue, if you are playing a high press then everyone needs to be committed for the full 90 minutes, are forward line are simply not up to speed ,manhoof needs a serious rocket if he's going to keep up with this way of playing. Full credit to koumas though he's giving 110%

Given we were entrenched in our own half against Hull Seansea and Bristol City it’s hard to believe that we are top of the running stats .In the matches I’ve seen at home we are very passive . Of course when you don’t have the ball you can spend energy chasing it . The two don’t go hand in hand . We run around like headless chickens. We lose our shape. We don’t condense the play . I long to see us dominate a match ( ok you will say Portsmouthbut after Gallagher went off we retreated into defensive mode .

Full credit to koumas though he's giving 110% You also need players on the bench who come can come on and offer the same. Look at Ipswich last season, they’d often replace their forward players around 70 mins regardless of how they were playing. This was to bring fresh alternatives on to maintain the intensity. We have vidigal and Ennis to bring on🙄 |

I don’t think fitness is an issue, we’re just chronically slow which gives the illusion that the players are blowing most of the time. We haven’t got a single player that you could consider as being quick. Fitness has never been an issue. Attitude has. I think we can all see for ourselves week in week out that fitness is a big problem. |

They are very young and have not built up their stamina levels of say a 26 year old.

Our ability to avoid moronic decisions is a much bigger problem! This goes for the man in charge as well!  |

Fitness isn't the problem.
The huge lack of talent and appetite is.
