Their performance levels of the past two seasons are not sustainable beyond that (same for Citeh in the two seasons prior to that) . You cannot escape long-length injuries to one or more key players etc. I suspect that the PL champions will finish with a pts total in the low 80s this season, which means the Poool are effectively going to have to win all but three of their remaining PL games (so the pressure is on) . Klopp cannot whine about the fixture count/compression etc when 5 other clubs are in the same position (although you could argue that in terms of squad stress that 6 CL group stage games are equivalent to 6 + N EL group stage games) .
I've honestly got no time for it all mate. I'm sick of hearing managers like Klopp complaining, and I apply that to all managers. Football is about the course of the season, everything from player injury, playing in all weathers and through to the quality of the pitch. Managers these days are striving to rid of all those issues, to create perfection on the same level as F1. Where many punters deserted the sport years ago, because human nature is to have a challenge, not to cry about it when things don't go to plan.
Indeed. Watching the R3 tie of Spurs at Marine etc the other week you hope would bring a great deal of humility to PL managers. "Managers these days are striving to rid of all those issues, to create perfection on the same level as F1. Where many punters deserted the sport years ago, because human nature is to have a challenge, not to cry about it when things don't go to plan." In the 80s when I used to watch F1, part of the joy was watching superior drivers (Rosberg, Mansell, Senna etc) in inferior-performance cars seriously "punching above their weight" .
Poor Sucky gets all the heat for Liverpool losses. The Scandi Mong bailed on him. Luvgonzo doesn’t like being bullied and Skylarker found a new life. Poor Ryan
Slurps remember when Skylarker said Liverpool were signing Fernandes and they signed Minamino instead
