Or the opposite, should they have pushed the players harder in one of if not both of our last pre-seasons in purely the physical aspect of pre-season? I know we won the league last season and there’s also mental fatigue to go with physical, but it seemed a bit like we peaked earlier than we should’ve last season. And this season it just hasn’t looked right from the start and not only that of course.
That’s something that keeps bothering me about this coaching staff and something I know I’ll never find out. We’ll see if they get one more pre-season or it’s time for a change.
Plus, the general question is it even possible for a top PL club to maintain at least successive seasons with a relatively positive situation in terms of injuries, or is good season-bad season (something we had at times under Klopp) the best you can hope for.
