Moyes worries for Tie's fitness

Last updated : 20 November 2002 By Austin Rathe

"I thought Sunday was probably Tie's poorest performance for a long time," he said "but I am having to be careful with him because of the amount of football he has played in the last 12 months." Said Moyes

"He played the Chinese League season, went to the World Cup, went straight back to carry on with the Chinese League and then came over here.

"He hasn't had a significant break for a long time and with some of our games being tight you need a stamina to play in them week in, week out."
