It's puzzling that Saints have been putting in extra shifts on the training ground but against QPR they looked flat at times?
That brings me to the conclusion that MP may of burnt the players out like Christian Gross did at Spurs. IMHO every player should manage 90 minutes training most days and even some light drills two evenings a week but it does not give much time for recovery time for minor knocks.
I know Clyne and Shaw took part without being 100% fit and this upset the opportunity to raid the QPR flanks more often.
Another thing I would like to raise, Is all the football in Spain tappy, tappy? The reason why I ask is because our high pressure football works a treat against good passing team but seems to fail against the long ball counter attacks, perhaps MP's system was never tested?
