Great findings, very interesting. Going 20 points behind Arsenal today. Not much joy this season. Walking football versus low blocks. Drop low after taking the lead and no willingness to go for the kill. So frustrating to just wait for the opponents to equalize or finding the winner. Not giving subs enough time to make a difference. Not trusting the full squad in a long season. Fatigue during games. Shambles. Flat. Boring. Not the Liverpool way. YNWA.
Great article. Focusing on the “core” players, with the World Cup on the horizon do we have a potential injury issue in the post for next season, especially if we repeat what we have done this season?
"The injuries explain some friction. The schedule explains some fatigue. The international minutes explain some load. The new tactical model explains some inconsistency. The player table explains some of the physical flattening. The tragedy explains some motivation loss."
That passage looks like whatever the opposite of marginal gains is. There are factors in it that all clubs have to manage, and some that are unique to Liverpool. But the combination of them is important, to me at least.
In terms of the missed-games through injury list, are any of the teams with more games lost higher than us in the table?

Cheers - looks like I’ll have to sign-up to the paid subscription to read Friday’s article in full 😂
Really interesting read.

Oy, at least edit if you're going to use AI to write for you. This reads like it was copy-paste from ChatGPT
