IMO the decline in performance during those months last season was more linked to the absence of Yaya and the suspension of Kompany.
Recently the side has looked lethargic and hesitant, (although I appreciate travelling can tire players), improved conditioning and base fitness would surely help?

Not convince on lethargic, Mate.
hesitant for sure.
I think Ted's remark above is bang on the money, once again.

Not Tuesday but yes today and looking keen and energetic as usual.I would expect him as a certainty for a midfield spot before Evans.
