As we all know or are now finding out with the new type of managers like Martinez, Rodgers, etc starting to rise to the top of the game with their detail to everything the modern game/footballer needs. Not only with tactics, man management, but also the sports science to get footballers to push their bodies to the limit to become elite athletes as well as a man which has talent to play football. Do we think we have anything like this in place at QPR? If you go through our squad we have an alarming number of players who seem to be carrying a bit of timber for professional athletes. Niko, Dunne, even the picture of Barton when Vans little lad ran on the pitch, BAE & Hoillet also look to be carrying a few extra pounds. If we go back to last season, Taarabt was definetley over weight, but if you look at him now 4 months into a spell at AC Milan (who are renowned for their strict fitness regime) he is 2 stone lighter and looking like an athlete and now reaping the awards.
I bring this up as it doesn't matter how much talent you have, the fitter squads will always come out on top over a season, especially in the play offs. Also if we do go up, next season in the premiership week in week out against top players who are also top athletes you could imagine what would happen.
Does 'Arry' or his coaching staff, medical team, or whoever works on keeping players fit do their job properly?
