Common Hitch, look at the results this season. They've dealt with it better this season I'll give you that but it's still an issue.
Like say what you will but it obviously has an impact on their performances.
I'm sure if checked evertons record it'd be similar
Just looking at the results doesn't give you any context though. At that time of the season we were playing Kaboul, Naughton, Capoue, Adebayor, Lennon in the league, those shit results happened because of them. The guys who played on Thursday didn't play in league games.
That Stoke defeat was a watershed moment and ended the careers of several players, since Pochettino cast them out we haven't looked back. We have been able to get results during congested periods because we simply have a better team. I'm not saying Europa has no hangover effect but the main reason we lost those league games was because we had too many shit players in the team. We have evolved a lot since then, in terms of attitude and fitness. The shit players are in the stands and the guys who were struggling like Eriksen, Dier and Dembele have come alive.
We have zero injuries in mid-February which for us is unheard of, we are fitter and better able to handle the fixture list.
