Why not look at our last 4 games instead? That’s a far better indication of our current form. We are all aware of how well we did when we got back from lockdown but it’s the past few games where it looks like we are struggling with fitness which is the issue here.

OK, here’s our last four PL games: we’re third in the league based on that form.

Here’s the last three. We’re #stillsixth, and turning in better results than Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, Arsenal and Sheffield United:

The only top teams turning in better performances right now are PEDchester City and Spurs.

It isn’t pretty for many of the top teams - in fact, many of the teams in the league right now. And although I agree that we should have used more rotation and earlier subs in recent weeks, we’re on the verge thanks to a startling run of form since the restart.

It's been a calculated gamble and we will find out on Sunday if it paid off.

It's a very unusual season, so I am not sure much can be looked into it in terms of Ole's promise to improve fitness.

It's also worth noting that in a lot of those 3-4 goal wins, we were subbing players quite early on, so it wasn't like these players played every minute going.

We'll know if the chosen strategy worked, We won't know whether we'd have been better off, the same, or worse off had we rotated more over the last month.

In such a case, I, for one, won’t give a flying fack about that particular hypothetical I’m afraid, RR

We'll sweep Leicester aside in a dominant display on Sunday. This is the match we've all been geared up for since the start! Just you see. 1-0 United.

Us mere mortals wont know, RR... But the masterminds on here will know.
