Of the exact same opinion. Fatigue is no excuse when we've had the same schedule as West Ham, with a much bigger and more talented squad.
It will be our advantage if anything, given we've played two home games before today over Christmas.
Well, a bad pitch, for instance, might affect the quality of one team's play; it's the same pitch for their opponents, of course, but it can still be a factor.
Still, fixtures coming thick and fast is normal for this period and we have a decent squad. We can bring in, say, Carrick, Rojo, Jones, Lingard and Darmian, all relatively fresh. Even Mata only got about 35 minutes the other day.
Basically, we shouldn't be using tiredness as an excuse but that doesn't mean it can't or won't be a factor.
Clockwork
Tiredness should not be a factor. Both teams played two days ago.
So they might both be tired, rather than neither?
Like I say, I certainly won't be using it as an excuse if we don't win and/or drop points.
The Man Utd players will be tired and then they said they were not allowed to be in their own game
It's the xmas rush of games. Tiredness shouldn't be used as an excuse. But fatigue will play a part.
It is 2 games in 48 hrs!
But it's not like this fixture is a surprise.
They would've/ should've prepared for it.

It perplexed me as well, although his comments generally do.
I think Choice writes in some form of code.

Can't you what mean did understand that?
After Mourinho's last rant about games over Christmas the BBC ran the stats. Out of the top six Liverpool were worse affected, Chelsea least. I think United were third but don't quote me on that. All in all the top clubs should be less affected anyway as they will have deeper squads with players coming in better than most of the first team squad of those they face.
Tiredness shouldn't affect a £700m squad so no excuses from you today fellas.
We will ignore your first fhree sentences, TOOR, as they are pointless.
The rest is spot on.

We should not use tiredness as an excuse, yes. A 700m pound squad does not necessarily equate to a lot of players. We probably had a 500m squad last year and our youngsters ended up bailing us out.

I'm taking that too. I'm on a roll.
I am sure you have made up for your decent comment on here on other threads today resorting to your usual daftness.
Also VC you're not quite right about this tiredness thing. On one hand you are that neither team have an advantage having played same day.
On the other hand both teams could be knackered and it's an awful game for it.
