Can' t say I give a damn at mo as long as the team wins, if he rots on the bench thats for him. A lot of what goes on at LFC regardingfitness of AC and others we will never know the whole truth.
However, on what I can visibly see , if you look at photo when kd signed him he looked leaner then than he did in last match played. The fact that he looks 'bigger' or beefier doesnt mean its muscle - a big guy like him could be eating hamburgers or boozing and you might think looking at him that hes a big strong lad - but its not necessarily the case.
In his running at start of season in matches he was way off pace you can visibly see it. He's not as fast as rushie, but if he got near to it he would be a different player
It's got to the point where he needs to be benched (granted he put in a decent performance a couple of games ago) and i am not questioning his commitment but his mental condition to play for a premiership team. If he puts in substandard performances then the team moral will suffer. It's not a panic situation, but it needs to be adressed and i think this 12 month warning thing if true will make or break him
