Good listen with more candor than I’m used to from Fabian. Among the highlights is him saying only two of our summer signings - Georgi and Minteh - have fully adjusted to PL football so far.

Wieffer is the next closest I think. Interesting he mentioned Georgi & Minteh because they are probably our two strongest players in terms of physicality along with Carlos & that strength is become more & more important with every season that goes by.

That's a really good chat and an interesting setup with two former managers (from when the club was in a different place) and the current gaffer. Arguably more interesting than FH chatting with a journalist and MUCH better than the GQ feature!

Yes, he does explicitly say of this summer’s transfer business that we’ll be looking to bolster our physicality.

Mats is most improved imho, real zero to hero stuff.

Disappointing all round for a player costing near on £30m passing isn’t great which considering we are a passing side it makes the signing even more bizarre.

Brilliant hearing how open Fab is about us chucking away those two 2-0 leads. Great stuff.

He was great at Wolves, good passing, good timing, physical..... fully justified MOTM

I hope that we do, we aren't the biggest or strongest side in the League, and we do need to address this.

I’m pleased he’s attaching game management to it also. A few got slated including me for pointing it out at the time.

I found it interesting that Mark McGhee said the biggest achievement of his managerial career, wasn't winning the playoffs at Cardiff, but staying up the following year.

Needing physicality in the PL has been obvious since we came up and we’ve lacked that (3 or 4 players apart) in all our sides since promotion

I'm sure he always puts in 100% but I did wonder if he tried to work that bit better to make up for 'that' pass against them.

I think he's been our best player for the past 2 or 3 games

Agree - I know it was only a friendly, in the pre-saeson game at QPR he looked dreadful.
Fair play, he's improved hugely during the course of the season.

An interest concept for a video, for sure.

Re the physicality issue, this would suggest that the Diego Coppola rumour has some credence as he looks a unit.
I'm not sure that £30m guarantees that a player comes fully Premier League ready, injury free, physically up to speed and firing on all cylinders any more. Especially when you arrive with an injury
