For me, the problem with JMD isn't to do with tracking back, it's his fitness. You can't fault his workrate when he plays but last season he wasn't fit enough and to start regularly, he needs to be fitter.


How can he still not be fit? Not injured since about March and a full pre season.

Fully agree, however he hasn't had a full pre-season yet and he has improved loads since he first came. So he is making progress.

I don't think it's about fitness at all with jmd, he just lacks decent pace. He would certainly be playing a lot higher level if he had more of it but his a good player who seems to chip in with vital goals.


Gtfc all the way

He’ll get over it, if he doesn’t Hurst just won’t pick him.

He probably needed to get off quickly as he probably had something on tonight.  I wouldn’t read anything negative into it.

His goals & assists per minute must be through the roof. Almost always seems to have a hand in something when he plays.

It’s a drawback of the modern game that workrate is preferred to skill and quality. I always think there’s room for more balance and if your going to accommodate hard working players like agree and Clifton there should be room to play someone with JMD’s qualities and have the grafters cover his weaknesses.

Maybe that’s exactly why he’s not starting, I do agree with your view here though.
