I think the key to Liverpool's success has been their work rate. Yes, the manager is great, they have also very talented players, etc. but this is what other top teams have too. Where they excel is that they have exceptionally fit players which helps them to bully teams, tire them down and maintain a high level over many months.

Pep's City could do the same the last two seasons but we rotated much more. Nevertheless, we suffer more injuries than them.

Sport medicine is utterly important in today's football. If you can't run and can't recover quickly, you can't compete. So, there is some secret in the way Liverpool manage to keep those exceptional fitness levels for many months, despite half of their players (and all of the key players!) participating in international competitions as well. How are they doing it?

There are some possibilities. They might have introduced revolutionary methods wtr training and recovering. Or they are signing exceptionally fit players. Or they are using (secret but) legal substances for recovering, i.e. substances which are not banned but are highly efficient. I think it's a combination of those things. The possibility of doping I'm not going to dsicuss. Think most big clubs are using ways of preparing and recovering players on the border of illegal methods. Liverpool are doing something a bit different than the other big clubs though. Van Dijk and Mane have played incredible amount of minutes in 2019 and are constantly fit, full with eneregy, quick. I'm sure the other clubs are wondering wtf is happening there.

yup, they're either the fittest team of all time or a bunch of cheaters, theres no in between. Never saw a team that could run for days week in and week out and not tiring...

On the other hand, they barely get serious injuries, so they must be doing something very well in the physical prep department

Not hard to be super fit when you play kick and run glorified Allardyce tactics

Liverpool priorities competitions. Take today for instance the mighty world champions Liverpool are bigger than 2/1 to win at home to Everton who are Even money to win at anfield. If Liverpool happen to win it will just be an hindrance in the eyes of the owners and the coaching staff.

Showing disrespect to the most respected domestic trophy in the world. Since when did they have a long injury list? We played pretty full teams last season and we had a chance of winning all 4.

Cant risk their big boys failing a piss test. Need the last lot to clear the system first.

According to the BCC Football Commentator, Klopp is playing the Liverpool youngsters against Everton to protect Liverpool and their fist team from a long injury list.
