We're putrid presently, yet the core team got to the champions league final last season, and, we added clearly good/exceptional (potentially) players in Lo Celso, NDombele and Sessegnon.
Yet we are a shadow of the team we were, literally a shadow.
Haven't seen todays game, but it sounds the same old story = team on good momentum, built from being fit and cohesive from seasons start in Sheffield Utd Vs Us, destroyed by Pochettino's petty obsession with using hard gruelling training regime pre-season (todays players don't need this, they need their iodine checking, if overweight, shit like this, adjusting potassium maybe...).
Our squad, if fit from seasons start, and mentally at it, should be up their fighting Chelsea and Leicester. Not to dismiss today, but it's symptomatic of this broader picture IMO, too many players wanted to leave and have had hissy fits about the gruelling training I suspect.
Why do we never hear of the elite methods employed, which may disprove this is about early season fatigue? Why is world class recovery never mentioned when Poch and team are repeatedly quizzed about whether it's fatigue? High MSM, Alkalines (Kelp, Calcium(s)), masses of Oxygen enhancing techniques that we never hear about our club employing, do we have an elite nutrition/recovery team? How can we have a "Bring it" ethos, without an elite recovery focus, it's craziness.
If training wasn't so hard, we'd have had a fuller fitter squad, he rotates the shit out of them because they are all to exhausted to play regular 2x weekly (the stat in the week was over 80 odd games? since the last 'same team' came out... Maybe, just maybe, we don't have anybody highly trained enough, to point out they are all exhausted physically and/or mentally (can anybody cite who a technical employee would be who would oversee recovery techniques and nutrition? a GP style sports Doc? No offence to any, but the requirement to pass your medical Dr is 1 elective day on Nutrition, unless it's changed now).
Get them having fun Poch, whilst they recover, or do one pal. How about, they employ an elite conditioning team, like Klopp and Pep no doubt do...
Anyway, surely everyone can see it? I've bleated on about it since the signs in season 2.
It's like asking Curt Cobain to belt out the entirety of Nevermind and Bleach, before the gig, every day on tour in 91, then being mystified how his voice is torn to shit...
