Speaking to my mate last night in the pub. The game was on in the background, basically all the Liverpool fans in the pub are ones who have never been to Anfield or are of a certain age who went "home and away" for year but for some reason stopped going about 25 years ago and now never bother even when they get given tickets on a plate.
Anyway, my mate did a Sports Science degree and reckons they are definitely taking some form of performance enhancing drugs.
He us convinced that their results in Europe last year show a pattern.
They didn't win a game away in the Champions League last year apart from Porto who are useless and Bayern. They were easily beaten by Napoli, PSG, Red Star and Barcelona. My mate is convinced that the only reason they beat a decent Bayern so convincingly is that Klopp must know someone in Germany who either brings them the gear or makes it there.
Every home game the were able to batter teams into submission or significantly out run them after having hard league games. Milner was still charging round like a 21 year old in injury time against Barcelona.
Might sound a bit far fetched but even in the final they looked completely shattered after 60 minutes. They also got a nice helping hand (literally) off Spurs and got another penalty in the first minute.
Even this season they were again beaten easily by Napoli, Genk would get beaten by most mid table Premier League teams yet in the final game against Salzburg they managed to turn it on against a team who have easy games most weeks and dont have to put in massive effort every week. The conspiracy theorist that my mate is reckons they somehow got hold of these PEDs as Austria is next to Germany.
Even the World Club Championship they had 2 hard games that they laboured through but as soon as they land back in the UK they are able to outperform a Leicester team who had been in good form and batter them 4-0 despite them having a longer rest and no 7 hour flight.
