[Football] 'Not match fit' - absolutely nothing to do with fitness

[Stat Brother]

but everything to do with eyesight and players eye muscles.

Well that's according to Sir Alex and the way Gary Neville explains it here, it makes perfect sense

From 11:25:-

Well it isn't anything to do with fitness or you'd just say fit wouldn't you?

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Any player, at any level, knows that after a long lay off you work on your fitness, you probably do more work in terms of running and weights and feel tip-top but the first three or four games you're off the pace, you need to hone your reactions, timing and the reading of the game. So yes, being fit and match fit are two very different things.

If you either stay with it or scroll forward to 20 minutes, Neville discusses Hoddle dropping Gazza from the W/C, that also is quite some listen.
