I thought his fitness has got a lot better, he covered quite a lot of ground and was chasing players back. Showed some of the younger players up with his work ethic.

It got to 75 - 80 minutes and I was expecting him to throw Henderson on for him.

Fitness was always going to be key to his form. His class is unquestionably but his ability to deliver that class was fitness and the truth is he isn't a teenager and it's quite simply not possible to get to full fitness as quickly as you used to.

If he can stay injury free hopefully the JC from yesterday can be the JC for rest of the season.
