ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Difficult to just turn it on on match day with such an approach. A lot of football's habit based isn't it.
It is yeah - we saw that here with Martinez where he took 50% of this approach - the cancelling training bit. The play with infernal intensity bit didn't happen.

IDK what his secret is to get them singing on match day, but all modern athletic training is periodised AFAIK. Big base of low intensity with smaller amounts of sickeningly hard interval work. Training quite hard all the time is old school, out of date, and causes injury - even relics like Moyesosaurus and Samadocus will know that and train accordingly.
 
I've just forced myself to listen to another BBC pewkfest related to RS. Five Live broadcaster with the name I cant pronounce fawning over them with the author of a book I didn't know existed, Believe Us. Oh my fecking word, the worst kiss ass interview/advertisement I've heard in a long while. The fact that me hitherto not being aware of the book, and now knowing about it shows it as a pure marketing exercise.
Does the nations broadcaster have no shame?
 
Would assume he does the opposite - total de-load of training, low intensity kickabouts, to enable massive intensity on matchday.

They play simple football AFAIK, with world class players, so what would training hard accomplish?
All of the players Ive read who describe the training they do use the word "intense". It's high tempo stuff in training games and the individual training they get.

Problem with the doped-to-their-gills hypothesis is that everyone in the prem would have to be doing it, with large scale tacit acceptance from those in charge (tacit acceptance from the fans is a given). Like Lance Armstrong was a prominent cheat in an ocean of cheats - the entire peloton was on EPO late nineties and it was fully endorsed by all teams and tacitly accepted by the UCI.
Given the testing regime in prem football is actually half-decent, seems unlikely one club could go out on a limb here.

Weight loss drugs could be massive in football and seem easier to blur into the grey area of permitted medications. I reckon we'd all be surprised if we stood next to some of these centre half or centre forward 'beasts.' Prob a lot slimmer and slighter than you think.
