You forget they were only allowed one substitute obviously given that you wont be playing as many players.

Chelsea and Man City only used 1 more player than us is an interesting stat, considering they are in Champs League and hence played more games than us.
Maybe they have a better fitness regime.
Worth sending a spies out there to take notes maybe.

No, I didn't forget that at all. Just because they only had one sub (or no sub at all) they could still have rotated their squads, but they didn't. There was the first XI and the reserves, and most of the time that's the way it stayed.
Didn't need to, played more games with a heavy ball on muddy pitches then after a game where they had been kicked all over the place , a woodbine , rub down with the sporting times then out on the town for a few pints of mild, before doing it all again on Tuesday night ! Who says today's players are pampered!!!

And Metatarsals �� Used to be called a sore foot so go run it off !

And most of those would be down the left hand side... if not all of them bar the two times Murray and Hemed have switched!

They don't have to work as hard as they have more of the ball. So not a straight-forward comparison.

Man City named only 18 players in their "25-man" squad, and Chelsea named only 21.

Burnley, player vs player are probably a bit stronger thans us, certainly they have more Premier League experience. As for Knockaert, I don't think it's a matter of him not playing so well, but more a case of him facing better defenders week on week.
We had managed to rise to the lofty heights of 8th in the table, but the vast majority of those games were against the lesser teams in the division. Survival this season was never going to be easy. Let's not delude ourselves, we certainly won't be finishing as high as 8th, but we need to do everything we can to fall over the line, even if it means it's in 17th place.
