Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold believes his undefeated A-League ladder leaders are playing nowhere near their true potential.Arnold is adamant only a superior fitness base has his team on the cusp of six-straight wins to kick-off their campaign, and predicts there are higher gears to come.Our fitness levels when I watch all the games across the A-League, I think were the fittest team in the country, Arnold said on Friday.We can run teams off their legs, weve done that the first five weeks.Once we get fitter, I think well evolve as a football team in possession because it takes time for players to gel together.That will take time, well evolve as the season goes. Overall I think were playing at about sixty per cent of where well end up. Its exciting to see where we will end up.Arnolds comments will reverberate around a league that has watched a healthy roster last week beat rivals Melbourne Victory 2-1.However the two-time A-League championship-winning coach has no concerns about what the rest of the competition think about his team.I dont think about the other teams. I just think about ourselves, he said.I asked (the players) the question after the game, is there anyone here performing at the best of their ability individually? And not one hand went up.So they know that theres a lot of improvement individually to go, which obviously then as a team, well get better.Arnold is again expected to stick with the same line-up that defeated Victory.However he could opt to start match-winner David Carney over captain Alex Brosque in the midfield.Another victory would bring Sydney FC a step closer to a club-record 10 wins in succession, set when they made the final of the inaugural 2005-06 season.But Arnold is certain their early-season form hasnt placed undue pressure on his outfit.I keep driving to the players, it means nothing. Theres still 22 rounds to go, he said.The main thing is that we train hard every day, we get better at every training sessions, and our performance gets better in matches.Overall I wasnt that happy with last weeks performance. I thought the victory, the character, the mentality was great, (but) our fitness got us over the line, not our football.Cesar Azpilicueta Chelsea Jersey .

Think Brandon Marshall is dangerous with the football in his hands? Better watch out when he starts punting it.The New York Jets wide receiver booted a ball -- that just cleared the bleachers -- in frustration at the end of what coach Todd Bowles called a sluggish practice Tuesday.Well, that one didnt go very far, a smiling Marshall said. I almost got sued. It barely went over the stands. I saw a lady go, `Ahhh! That wasnt good.After running back Dominique Williams dropped a pass, Marshall picked up the ball and kicked it, sending it hurtling toward some campers and parents.It was pretty good, coach Todd Bowles joked. If we need a second punter, we might just bring him back there and pooch one.All kidding aside, it was a quick display of emotion from Marshall, capping a very uneven practice for both the offense and defense.Sometimes you need that, he said, to show people that its not acceptable to come out there and practice like that.Tuesdays session marked the fifth practice of training camp for the Jets.Its competition period and guys are going to express frustration in a certain way, the coach said. Youre in camp, youre going to get frustrated one day. It wasnt a big deal at all. Were going to line up tomorrow and play again.Bowles added that showing that type of emotion is fine -- as long as its in practice and not a game.Thats a penalty, so we know we cant do it, he said. Emotion is one thing, as long as you tailor it the right way.Marshall acknowledged that a few plays before his punt, he tried to slam his helmet down.I couldnt get my helmet off, he said. I was kind of embarrassed. It got stuck. That was good, though. When you throw the helmet, kick the ball, its probably a little too much in one day.In 2009, Marshall threw a well-publicized practice tantrum that got him suspended a week while with Denver, when he also punted a football, walked while the rest of the team ran during warmups and swatted away a few passes thrown to him.He was looking for a new deal and demanded a trade during that time. This was nothing close to that situation, in comparison. It is also nothing new to any of his Jets teammates.Its almost my staple, Marshall said, grinning. Yeah, I do that maybe every five or six weeks.When a reporter asked if he meant every five or six years, Marshall reiterated that its not an uncommon occurrence.During the season, you guys are here for the opening of practice, but then you go inside and do what you guys do, he said.dddddddddddd And, Im out here kicking balls.Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who re-signed with the Jets last week, agreed with the overall sentiment that the team practiced poorly.Its just important for us to remember that we cant waste any days, he said.We did some good things today, but we did more bad than good today. Weve got to be able to learn from it and weve got to continue to be trending upward and getting better each practice.There are high expectations this season for an offense that ranked 10th overall last season and set a franchise record with 5,925 total yards. Fitzpatrick set the team mark with 31 touchdown passes, while Marshall broke Jets records with 109 catches and 1,502 yards receiving.The addition of running back Matt Forte is expected to further improve the Jets ability to move the ball down the field. Marshall said Forte, who is working his way back from a sore hamstring, will make things easier for New Yorks offense.Despite it being early in camp, the players are still striving for perfection.Every time we step on the field, especially in the competitive spirit, we want to win, Marshall said. We started off pretty good in the move-the-ball period and we actually scored, and then we came back the next two periods and it wasnt where we want it to be, but thats part of camp.Marshall credited Fitzpatrick with calming him down and the rest of the offense after practice.He was just telling us that this was still a successful day, when you look at the way we communicated and all of the learning lessons, Marshall said.He said there were a few things where we didnt connect on, but should have. But being able to sit down and watch film and work through those things is really vital to the growth of our offense.Game notesDL Sheldon Richardson returned to the team after missing the first four practices for personal reasons. ... CB Darrelle Revis (wrist) participated in team drills for the first time in camp, taking part in one session. We dont want to do too much with him, Bowles said. We just want to get his feet wet and get him used to moving around there again. ...
