Who I won't miss when Klopp and his team leave is whoever is our conditioning coach.
Yep, how do we just fall apart at this stage of the season every year. City never stopped running for 120 minutes last night and were playing and pressing at a quicker rate than we have at any stage of the season. The game tonight showed how much we missed that Fab/Hendo/Gini midfield who would have died for the club.
Exactly. Looking at City last night I thought well damn, they must rotate more then us to have this sort of energy but no, in fact their players have played more minutes than ours! I checked, they have about 8 or 9 players with 3000 minutes + (Rodri 3600 minutes, Ruben Dias 3500 minutes, Walker 3200, Silva 3100, Foden 3700, Haaland 3300, and a few others with similar numbers) while we have only about 4 (van Dijk with 3500 minutes being the biggest, MacAllister, Gomez and Diaz being the other 3 with something lower). Now I know this isn't complete as I don't have the stats of how much running us and them have done, but I'm sure they've ran more than us tbh.
I agree with what is being said, we overachieved this season, no body expected us to be challenging for the title, but still, being so good and then suddenly falling apart isn't something that we should just accept.
