Bilic: “If you are not fit then basically you are useless.” watfordfc
Slaven Bilic pulled no punches this morning when he discussed the need to be ready to play at the tempo he requires, saying: “If you are not fit then basically you are useless.”
Bilic gave the example of Dan Gosling, who stepped into midfield at Cardiff on Wednesday night after a run of games at full-back, and gave a performance that majored on being able to cover the ground for 90 minutes.“Maybe sometimes people don’t notice him as he’s not on the ball as much as Kayembe. The performance at Cardiff was gritty and determined but didn’t have the fluidity and style of the Luton game. However, both Wednesday and Saturday at Wigan showed the Hornets know how to ‘win ugly’.“But at Cardiff, apart from the first 20 minutes, I was pleased with how we played. If you talk about the 60 or 70 minutes between the bad start and when they were throwing bodies forward at the end, I thought we did well.
“We have to improve in defending our six-yard box because in every game you will face opponents who have the ability to threaten you from set plays.
