These are the minutes played so far…
Most mins played so far is RVP with 1299 which is higher than our GK Szczesny’s 1260.
He has been playing nonstop since the start of the season. Where he has played more is in the international ‘break’, which is not a break at all. If he continues playing weekend-midweek-weekend, he is going to get injured. We are heavily relying on RVP now, he needs to be used properly this season. Rotation is crucial, which we have not been doing. Chamakh and Park need games. They have hardly any match practice. If RVP gets injured, we will be in big trouble.
Mertesacker & Koscielny have been also playing a lot of games. All our new signings have played a lot since their arrival in September.
Fabianski also needs game. He has played only one game for us.
More analysis on strikers and GK’s, as compared to other clubs, in the next blog tomorrow…
he will get a rest mid week
