Liverpool covering six kilometres more under Klopp than Rodgers
Run more = more injuries.
He has really got it in for Jurgen.
Liverpool's
chronic injury list is threatening to derail their whole season, and fitness coach Raymond Verheijen isn't letting up on his one-man mission to out the manager as the clueless culprit.
Verheijen, who boasts the likes of Barcelona, Chelsea, the Netherlands national team and Manchester City on his impressive CV, predicted
further injuries for Liverpool's squad last month, and on Tuesday two more of their number succumbed to hamstring damage.
Speaking to the
Daily Mirror, the Dutchman reiterated his feeling that Klopp was overworking his players, both in games and in training.
"Liverpool were already struggling with injuries before Klopp arrived, so to introduce this pressing game over this busy period was asking for trouble," Verheijen said.
"The players were used to a possession game under Brendan Rodgers, which is physically less demanding.
"Then, all of a sudden, a new manager comes in with a new style. They need time to adapt. It's Russian roulette."
