Absolutely mate. Arnhem and Utrecht were two quality places to stay. Was a right pain in the erse to get to the Alkmaar game though, middle o fucking nowhere.

Interesting point to note for those that do not have ArabZONE.  In the post QPR interviews, it was stated that the Squad all trained fully in the mornings and then played the games heavy legged whilst in Holland.  And that whilst results and performances were not great, it was part of a plan, as in other interviews it has been stated that a more scientific approach to fitness has been involved this pre season including vital signs recording and Sat Nav etc.  After the dearth of info coming from the Club, it's important folk know what the bigger picture is now.  I for one feel like I am getting my MoJo rejuvenated.

Yeah I heard that too. Like the sound of that. From the Zone interviews it sounded like we were on top the last 20 minutes which is the first time for a while we've heard that. Hopefully the fitness issues of last season are being addressed.

But United have been utilising that sport science since JMac/St Andra's started. It's minor tweaks this season with GPS packs and the like, along with the previous programme.

 

Why did we look fucked in the second half of games last season then?

Yeah a part i dont get either as we have had  these people from standress working with the squad for a while but the fitness has been piss poor?

 
If they I.D. fitness improvement areas to be targeted it's going to be large and varied. The idea will be to step it up at the right pace.
Wonder what the benchmark is though.
It's all good collecting data, but what target is set and against what level of opposition?

Didn't like reading Armstrong's comments on the difference between us and Septic's fitness levels.
