From his new manager.
“You can see the threat he’s got in those moments but in order to play 90 minutes at the intensity and the tempo we play at, he’s certainly on his way, but I always feel at the moment there is some other guys that are a little bit further and so we’re not going to force anything because you run the risk of injuries then.”
Not fit enough ? |  |

The players imo are ultimately responsible for their own fitness.
There is a famous saying 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink' |
True enough but also the case of clubs not always monitoring and mentoring players on their book
I think we seem to do ok though
Ncham playing a whole game ... beautiful |  |

Not because of fitness.
Usually crazy individual errors. |
Obefemi fitness issues may be down to what he is being asked to do during a game, one of his biggest assets is his pace, the energy he expends during his sprints must be considerable and the amount of sprinting he has been asked to do has obviously causing him injuries in the past.
The likes of Dyer, Rouledge and Sinclair were protected and if they seemed to be struggling would be replaced or benched for rotation.
Obefemi had a successful run in the team but was rested, he may think dropped giving Piroe the lead role or maybe
a case of Martin thought he was unable to fit both in the system he wanted to play not being able to adapt the team to suit both.
Just going back to the damage that can be caused by relying on players pace you just have to look at Montero, outstanding at what he was able to do but that hamstring injury became such an issue, bad luck or over use and not being protected, many players with blistering pace have struggled, Giggs had to adapt his game with Ferguson help, Michael Owens career cut short, Sterling and Aguero moved on once they were unable to match Pep''s required levels.
Why did Dan James end up looking so good at the second half of his final year before being transferred, still young enough to not be affected by injury, playing in a system that protected him with players around his sharing the load or just looking good at the level he was playing at the time.
Are Obefemi's life style or his work ethics problems maybe, maybe not, his work or are his expectations for himself too high time will tell.
As for the crazy individual errors, they are errors that the opposition set up to force, to exploit the weakness in our system, a system which needs to adapt to what happening at any given moment in a game allowing the players make the right choices to prevent those errors being created.
Sometimes players on the pitch can see what is going wrong amd can adapt but sometimes the manager has to intervene, adaptability and stability all round is key but one system doesn't fit all.cases and teams abilities need to be taken into account as well as the opposition. | | | |

Obafemi never struck me as lacking fitness.
When on his game he was brilliant.
However he let himself down sadly.
Seems to be repeating that already at Burnley? | | | |

It all comes down to attitude. He seemed a bad egg. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

This. The sooner people stop making excuses for him the sooner he may learn, but I doubt it. |  | | |

They can’t renege on the deal or they pay up and give him back. | |

Apart from Kompany saying he's not fit enough, hasn't made a starting 11 since joining them |  |

bit like Natcham when he arrived with us I suppose.
amazing how even he has gone many still keep pointing to Oba as the bad boy....mayne he was/is but he's gone now.
It's all about defending Martin.....well he has finished the season well let's see how next season starts but Russ no longer needs extra help | |

Looking back over this thread, I've seen Martin's name mentioned once, I really can't see how, " it's all about Martin", read the the posts again.  | | | |

Not at all, Ntcham was starting games from the start with us, just wasn't fit enough to finish them. |  | | |
