Phillips

[jingoe]

Not fit before the world cup. Goes and plays a bit for England. Comes back and is not fit according to Pep. What the hell is going on?

[gavin]

Pep didn't look impressed did he! Not injured but not fit. He should be chewing at the bit after doing fuck all but train in the world cup. It's early days but hope it isn't Roswell over again.

Let us hope it is not Jack Rodwell mk11, but it is concerning.

It often takes careful management of any injury and return to full fitness and things can go wrong.

I cannot however escape a feeling it might be hovering around the players personal commitment to training and lifestyle (let's hope not). It is certainly strange. From what I know of Pep (having read) it Is very likely he came back having put on weight.

Seems like he's going to have to put a serious shift in if he wants to get back in Pep's good books
