Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2522116, member: 1847"] I am not having a go at Macca. As I see it, more often than not, our game hiccups or goes backwards when he is replaced. I am really warming to his game over the last 3 weeks. What I am saying is that either Macca is, well, genetically not blessed with say, Smith's stamina, or we are not conditioning our players as best we could. And that goes for others, not just Macca. If a player gets pulled after the same minutes every game, how do you expect them to gain fitness? I think it's the same with Hunt. He is still not there as an 80 minute player 'cos he's been playing say, 40, for years. Whichever is the case, it makes our bench "utiitity" absolutely central to our success. I see Macca's greatest asset is, when he is on his game, his ability to stabilize the centre, and let Hunt explore wider. When he is hooked, I see us lose some structure. Maybe I'm imagining things.
