The fitness team must be teflon-coated. They survived the attempted summer risorgimento in spite of the fact that last season we had several players crocked and a semi-static team that was supposed to be able to play at a high tempo. In fact, even in Rodgers' best season, the team, for the first 4 or 5 months, could only play at the pace and intensity he wanted for about 60 minutes, after which they looked knackered. The pace has not been there again so far this season. If the owners believe in the manager's style of play, then they should be alarmed at how slowly it takes to get the players ready to play it each campaign. And if they think that style of play is physically unrealistic, they should have urged a re-think long before now.
