Keiffers 20 Goals

[198bore]

When he scored his 16th against Derby with 12 games remaining you’d have banked on him reaching 20.
Still a chance but not likely at this point. Shame he was flogged by both managers.

Flogged as in played too much?
Surely a professional athlete should be able to manage two games a week.

Re: Keiffers 20 Goals

I got carried away at the time and thought 25 goals was on.

No point in over playing him now and going into next season knackered.

Re: Keiffers 20 Goals

I also thought he'd hit 20 with games to spare. There's still time...

As they don't normally play two games a week, I'd say maybe not.

Well he's clearly knackered so he's either unfit person orrr he's fit but been pushed too hard. Most people think the latter.

This is a debate I am constantly having with friends.

I know Moore gets battered but if we have flogged him, then you wonder about training.

I understand that its intense being a professional athlete but two 90 minutes games a week for players in their 20's and 30's doesn't, in my mind, seem to be 'flogging' players.

If you're playing two intense games a week and the players can't cope then perhaps the training and recovery is not quite right.

Probably will get flogged for this but don’t think he’s the fittest guy in the world. Puffing out of his rear after 10 minutes

Another one this evening....

Interesting as I don't know many forwards his size who cover the ground and press like he does.

Re: Keiffers 20 Goals

His penalties so far have been immense.

He was described as knackered 6 days ago then played 90 minutes against Blackburn and 96 minutes against Reading.

Footballers this year have had minimal break over the summer because of covid and both before and after that short break have been asked to play two games a week more often than usual...and Kieffer does an awful lot of hard work up front.

Fitness levels should not be judged based on this crazy period of time.

I think it’s just his demeanour, he looks knackered as soon as he emerges from the tunnel. But I reckon the way he’s soldiered on he’s most probably one of, if not, the fittest player in the side, he’s got loads of work to get through due to the way we play and he never chucks the towel in, no rest during the international breaks either, he’s had non stop football for ages.

That's not completely true. He's been given far more rest by Wales (Wilson and Jonny Williams have been used as false 10 recently) than at club level.
