How do you know?

You're telling me what a full back has to go through and you're telling me what a midfielder has to do.

A hundred times more than that.

Oh my goodness, no way.

You have to hit people from different angles.

I know, but you don't have to get down and low and people don't dribble at you in midfield.

Very rarely does someone dribble straight at you.

Ever.

I get dribbled at six times a half, seven times a half, eight times a half.

I get it.

So I've got that little bit.

So I'm working my legs all the time.

But you still have to stop crosses.

You said that, oh, you said that as if I'm the only player that works like that.

I work my legs differently than you work your legs in a game.

No, it's not that, Gillian.

It's the fact of having someone running at you, you have to be low in like a box in the crouch position.

You're having to literally... And if someone's running at you four or five times in quick succession, and then you're having to get back in, and then you're having to get back out again, that's quite tough on the legs.

I think Timber does it well.

He used to be very good at it.
