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

[Seathestars]

Milner is setting premier league running distance records at the age of 35 and they’ve gone two seasons playing three games a week without a single player dropping their level even once, and people think it’s all natural.

I've never seen a player with the energy of Robertson, never. I know he's young and super fit but it's almost robotic

 

[Seathestars]

It is perfectly normal for athletes in their early thirties to excel in running longer distances. As you age, you lose fast-twitch muscle fibers the ones that help with sprinting and and gain slow-twitch muscle fibers the ones that help you with endurance.

The likes of Richard Gough, Gareth Barry and currently Seamus Coleman show that age is no barrier to fitness or athletic ability.

Can you post a graph please mate

 

[Seathestars]

just reading on Gomez, looks like the worst possible result for him & could be career ending, which is awful.

Should he miss the rest of this season, he will have missed 160+ club games due to injuries on international duty, all in exchange for 11 caps. Suspect there are good few considering if the risk is worth it over their coffee in St Georges Park this morning.

Awful that and I really hope not.

This could be describing any player in the RS squad. It’s amazing how they managed to search the globe and sign all the ‘fittest’ players.

Only one person to blame if he is that badly injured: the loony who insists on training at 100% every minute of the week and tells them to recover with the aid of some dubious kit/substances.

Wasn't due to a tackle either apparently. Just turned funny or something. Could be correct.

It’s amazing. The RS haven’t got anyone to blame. Solution - blame the FA for having pesky internationals. Let’s ignore the fact that it happened during training.

Their instinctive emotional response is to blame and to seek pity.

Sympathy for the player comes after.

Self-reflection and insight are non-existant.

As Southgate said yesterday, the governing bodies and teams etc etc were given a chance to work together on scheduling this year but refused to co-operate, just comes down to money at the end of the day.

Yes, it was a good point too. Clubs too much with an eye in revenue.

This. He’s essentially two players on that left hand side. It’s abnormal.

I reckon richarlison would cover as much ground as him him if he played lb. superb engine

Great engine yes but it's the sprints Robertson produces, he's as quick in the 85th minutes as he is the 1st.

Edit, I posted a comment just like this during one of their games a few weeks ago, can't remember which game and I don't know how to find it, but I basically mentioned a Robertson sprint in the dying minutes of their game. It was unbelievable and he wouldn't blow a candle out after these sprints either.

Still a gobshite tho

To be fair, they do have the best nutritionist in world football that they nicked from Bayern

Allan was a bit close there, penalty!

Never heard that before? Losing fast twitch, and muscle mass. Don't think you gain slow though?
