@Ermiina_22@Rimbeux@LFCApproved As mentioned in my initial response - I’ve kept track of our running stats for this season. We’ve only covered more distance than opponents on 1 occasion (vs a team with 9 man)
Average distance is around 108km … it was 115km under Klopp. Opposition average is around 112km
@Ermiina_22@Rimbeux@LFCApproved - Gradually lost the fitness that would have carried over from Klopp
- Early part of the season, I think a lot of teams underestimated us (Slot mentioned this also) which meant they played the way that suits us
- Salah put in a season worthy of the Balon d’Or
@GeorgePardon2 I’d rather play half of these teams than Wolves, Burnley, Forest, Leeds etc. who Slot doesn’t seem to have a clue about how to confidently win
@LFCApproved Last point - I’ve never seen us taking so many little holidays and breaks away. We finally seemed to be finding intensity and then he gives them all a 3 day holiday. Last season they all bunked off the last few weeks.
It sets completely the wrong culture. Arrogance and laziness
@LFCApproved we’ve only outrun our opponents on 1 occasion (against 9 man Spurs).
I think we’ve completely lost that fitness and intensity that was the core for Jürgen and tired bodies lead to tired minds lead to silly mistakes.
Slots style and training methods not suited to premier league
@utv58@chrisw333@anfieldforge “I told him it will be fair for him for Liverpool to take off this [mandatory] clause. #LFC have the key”.
I wonder what you think his intentions are here?
@utv58@chrisw333@anfieldforge Yeah and that is zero stress - there is no obligation for Villa to trigger the clause. But to then go moaning about it in the media and trying to paint Liverpool as some big bad wolf whose damaging his career comes across as someone with a serious lack of self-awareness
@utv58@chrisw333@anfieldforge We paid over the odds for Isak who has an injury - we aren’t going back to Newcastle and saying: ‘oh that deal we agreed in the summer, well actually we want you to remove one of the instalments as we no longer think he’s worth that much’. Villa shook on a deal, so honour it.
@utv58@chrisw333@anfieldforge So your transfer committee were not aware of your PSR position last summer? They knew the terms, they agreed to them. Villa have come out of this look a bit amateur and I’d assume clubs will be less likely to want to deal with Villa in the future
