This tiredness thing is a shit excuse.I don't understand how you are so adamant that this is not a factor.If you have played more matches than your opponents, during the same period of time, then it is a factor - how big or small this margin is does not mean it doesn't exist.Most of our players haven't played more matches than our opponents though, that's the whole point.

Well all of the injured ones haven't, no.
I could have sworn the commentator said we had played 8 matches more than Spurs on Sunday?
I’m not convinced Konsa is a tiredness thing, he just looks a bit off and I’m wondering whether he’s fully fit/his injury is playing on his mind. He has been uncharacteristically sloppy since he came back.

It certainly won't Chris, which is why I found it perplexing that he just didn't pick what is obviously our best back four on Sunday. Cash - Konsa - Torres - Digne or Moreno. That's served us brilliantly when available this season, so why do soemthing that made everybody look worse?
It's obviously a system we'll see again at some point. We need to be flexible and maybe it will work better with other players, who knows.
Well done Ezri. In the squad for March games.
