← Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur LIVE at Old Trafford October 10

Man Utd ran 5km less than Tottenham. Is this fixable at this point?

Does Michael Carrick even want to fix it?!

When MC and his team took over they concentrated on HIIT. That is good whilst the season progresses, but you need to do the stamina and strength training before the season starts. If you don't have a good level of fitness to start with, you will really struggle to maintain it during the season. Especially when we will be playing 2 games a week.

It won't be long before the injuries start!

Does Carrick focus too much on skill training and not enough on fitness training in his coaching sessions ? Are United's players unfit or lazy ?

I would love to imagine that but i am afraid my body could go into a toxic shock

Well look at what happened because of Baleba and the running he made. Intercepted at least two passes and tracked back to recover and win two balls that I can remember. He stood out because he ran. Imagine ten players running like he did...

. Last season I said Carrick was enjoying /taking credits for the foundation laid by Amorim but really thought I'm not on Carrick side. This season so far Carrick team is not in good shape physically. A team that is not fit can't deliver the goodies,he merited a healthy team, now that his in full control he failed to get the team in good

From a fitness perspective we certainly seems worse off than under Amorim

A total letdown. Carrick is stealing a wage!

From his interviews, Carrick doesn’t seem to have a lot of interest in these stats. It’s clear from watching the games that they correlate to our poor performances

ETH made the point that effort and running as far and farther than the opposition is a prerequisite and essential before tactics can work. Sounds like the OGS Holiday camp has reopened at Carrington.
