Liverpool thread 2019/20

[Decepticon]

From an Everton blog I follow on Tumblr, thought you might be interested.

How do they do it?

No club’s players run as far, as fast, for as long and as often as Liverpool’s players do yet rather surprisingly, the common muscle injuries brought about by fatigue and excessive use that other clubs protect their players from is never an issue for them.

It’s time to start asking questions when one set of players seem to be vastly superior in terms of physical fitness and endurance to everyone else’s. Is anything being done to actively investigate this?

The BBC reporter Dan Roan has poked around the British cycling team because of their dominance. He’s also cast an eye over the infamous Oregon Project - where Mo Farah trained with the controversial Coach Salazar - because of their dominance. So without doubt it’s time to start poking around football and Liverpool FC in particular, where the vast sums of money far in excess of those around cycling and athletics create a clear incentive to circumvent the regulations.

That’s assuming the regulations are actually being enforced in the first place.

We know they have a substantial sports science team working behind the scenes, but what isn’t clear are the methods they are using and how they seem to be so superior to everyone else. Not just a bit better, but vastly superior. And whether they actually break the rules, indeed whether there is sufficient checking to make sure that the rules aren’t being broken.

While virtually every other Premier League club has rested players and rotated their squad during the hectic Chrtismas period of fixtures, LFC will take the field against Wolves on December 29 with just one change from their last outing against Leicester. This, after what should have been a gruelling trip to Dubai on top of the fixtures that everyone else has had to endure.

And despite that, they’ll outrun Wolves for the entire 90 minutes today with no visible signs whatsoever of fatigue.

It’s time to start asking questions.

Were the rags ever like this?

That's a very good point.

Kicking off on Twitter. I suppose it was the tightest offside VAR decision of the weekend. Only it wasn’t. Guess social media doesn’t have any care for Brighton, Palace or Norwich though.

Trying my best to keep up, been busy, we are drug cheats now as well?

Pains me to say it. It was never handball

No, that’s a nonsense allegation. For a bit of balance, I saw Liverpool fans suggesting similar about us last season too. Every fan base has its idiots.

Looks like it touched his hand in the build up to a goal.

Accidental but that doesn't really matter.

Not for me,but I’m firmly in the camp that is convinced or from what I have witnessed liverpool are getting a helping hand towards that first title in 30 years,my only regret was not sticking a large amount of money on it,the whole thing stinks ..

They'll be remembered as the team that won it the season the PL metamorphised itself in to an episode of Black Mirror.

A guy called Mark Warnecke was hired by Klopp to work alongside nutritionist Mona Nemmer. Warnecke was an elite German swimmer who knew all about the way EPO and Testosterone supplements could be administered and masked to 'conform' with regulations.
