But if he's putting players into the squad that are knackered and could break down, then the coaches (and him in-particular) are ignoring player welfare
They should have a big enough squad to cope and rest players. They've only used the 5th most players so far this season behind Fulham, us, Everton and Chelsea.
Just seems like selfish, bordering on irresponsible management from the goofy f***er to me.
