No matter how many examples I observe — and there have been countless — or how obvious the reasons for the behaviour, it is still somehow amazing to see how eager the media are to heap praise on Liverpool and parrot the
franchise’s official narrative about nearly any topic.
I know there’s nothing surprising in this but it is and always will be laughable, especially in the context of our similar assertions of the burden of fixture congestion and the toll major injuries have taken on our team the last few seasons being largely ignored at best, and widely ridiculed at worst.
I have taken to calling it ‘Happy Klopping’.
Liverpool feeling the strain (Sky Sports)
“Liverpool have been relentless for the last three seasons. From reaching the Champions League final in 2018 and then winning it the following year as they pushed Manchester City all the way in the Premier League, to last season's march to the title, Jurgen Klopp's side have been consistently brilliant.
But there are signs now they are starting to feel the strain. First, the context: Liverpool went top of the Premier League with their draw at Brighton. Diogo Jota demonstrated once again how the Reds have strengthened their attack with another fine goal.
But no pre-season, a condensed fixture list, and a string of injuries are taking their toll on this team.”
