It appears long covid is a real thing. It effects two categories of people; the unhealthy and elite athletes who over train/exert themselves.... Do we think Mane, Salah and Trent fit into the latter? Klopp's game is so demanding it can't be a coincidence that Salah and Trent in particular look exhausted.

If they were effected I doubt theyd be up to training & playing IMO.

Goretzka and the Bayern lads look a lot leaner,
Have they ever shared there weights programme or diet ?
Coutinho was only there 1 year and completely changed his body ,

Carragher is the same, he is a lot bigger than when he played. Its a totally different form of fitness to be fair. Footballers would do some weights, but over all it would be more body weight and flexibility stuff they would focus on. Lean, flexible and strong in the core, compared to absolute bulk monsters.

Carragher got to doing 60 chin ups over 3 sets and got his bench press form 100kg max to doing reps of 100kg. That was 2019 so he might have trained on again...... anyway, he was training not to get big IMO.

Reps of 100kg benchpress wouldn't be out of the ordinary for lots of Joe Soaps Carragher's age, height etc

that's where I got the stuff I posted from.

To do 60 chin ups over 3 sets you'd need to be in good nick. But it's a bodyweight exercise. I was replying to

And added in his bench wasn't out of the ordinary

Osmosis Jones · 20-01-2021 01:28PM

Well now it wouldn't even be a loan, he's a free agent

Played for Klopp at BVB a 6 month deal with an option to extent for another season if he impresses.

The White Wolf · 20-01-2021 01:35PM

What's the situation there that it's gotten to the point his contract is terminated.

Ozil gone as well. Maybe freeing up wages?

Osmosis Jones · 20-01-2021 01:42PM

Based on the fan reaction he was a consummate professional his entire time there and is just surplus to requirements now.

yourdeadwright · 20-01-2021 01:42PM

Very interesting to see what we do in the next two games,

Do we go the same side form the weekend for the Burnley game and totally second string for United ?

Will Naby or Matip be back any time soon ,

Harry Palmr · 20-01-2021 01:48PM

Arsenal being mess of squad management?

Ok.... I'll take anyone half competent at this point of it means getting Hendo or Fab back in midfield so hopefully we move for him.

I didn't mean Carra specifically was a bulky monster. Just that footballers in general wouldn't be as bulky as he is now, and certainly not as big as Torres in that photo posted.

Look at Salah, packed on a ton of muscle in his shoulders after the injury, but he is still an absolute whip. I'm sure he would be capable of getting bigger if he trained for it.

Agent Coulson · 20-01-2021 01:54PM

If they didn't want to drop VVD from the squad to make room for another player for whatever reason they could drop Adrian, Kelleher is the clear number 2 now.

Need to win Thursday and the following Thursday. I couldnt care less about the FA cup and that's not going to change just because it's against Utd. I'd imagine klopp is of much the same opinion.

I don't ever want to lose against United, but I would be okay with playing the squad players and if we lose I would not be bothered that much. Either we beat them which is always great with our squad players, or we lose and we have less matches to worry about and United have one more. Either way as long as we don't play our first team and suffer injuries, I would not mind.

I'm still baffled by this foul given against Salah btw

Worst decision I've seen this season.

SlickRic · 20-01-2021 02:10PM

If Matip is ready to go, I want to see him and Phillips in, and Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago in midfield.

yes Im desperate to see Fab back in midfield. Philips should be grand dealing with Burnley pumping the ball long and high.

Osmosis Jones · 20-01-2021 02:13PM

I can't see both coming into the team, probably one of Matip/Phillips alongside Fab in defence

Nah worse one was the two footed lunge on Milner V Southampton where he was told to get back up and Liverpool didn't even get a free kick

DVDM93 · 20-01-2021 02:24PM

Salah literally had his hands up in there air as not to push Maguire, Maguire tries to buy it, falls down & pulls Salah down with him with his left arm.

It was clever by Maguire to be fair, he knows as well as the rest of us now incompetent referees & officials are in the league.

Then you look at Salah being clearly being pushed in the back in the lead up to the Fulham goal & nothing given.

Does salah not have a little tug on Maguires right arm / shoulder as they are leaving the box, certainly looks like it? Likely given for that as it caused maguire to tilt right and over balance, screen shot attached albeit a shyte one. Likely given for that.

Should have been free kick for us, for Maguire pulling Salah down as he stumbled over and couldn't lift his upper body mass. Then a card for Maguire for simulation, if that is still a thing. Linesman right there too.

It in no way contributes to him falling down a few seconds later. He falls down because he is trying to keep Salah away from the ball and is arching his body in such a way that he overbalances and falls over.
