    We lost a first leg due to our frustration with Atletico, we lost the second leg due to Adrian.

    We lost to Chelsea in the fa cup, never a priority under klopp the domestics.

    Adrian, Neco, Jones, Lallana, Minamino and Origi all started v Chelsea. Hardly comparing like with like when picking up the domestic cup games

    We lost 4 of our last 6 games before lockdown

    1 of our first 6 after lockdown - in fact - 2 of all the 9 final games.

    Spin it how you like - the facts are there

    You are comparing a cup side versus a pl side.

    If you want to ignore the difference in Klopps selections between the two competitions that's fine.

    How do you fit the results were down to accumulated fatigue.

    Were Lallana, Jones, Neco, Adrian, Origi and Minamino run down due to too much football.

    Lost 4 in 6 prior to lockdown

    lost 2 in 9 after


    Just to clarify the facts

    You can make any number of excuses you like mate. Call into question every refereeing decision ever dubious VAR call etc.

    The facts are in the results and also in watching the performances - lots of huffing and puffing and just getting over the line - then suddenly the losses started to mount - then lockdown.

    Yet the first team players regularly picked in the starting 11 of premier league sides got worse results after their 3 Month covid lockdown break.

    Interesting how players who played in the fa cup had very few minutes played but are cited in a accumulated fatigue claim proof.
    🤔😂

    Yes the facts are there the side got 17 out of 27 points after lockdown in the premier league.

    Whilst they got 24/27 points in the premier league prior to lockdown. A better goal difference too.

    I see your not looking at draws.
    8 wins and 1 loss prior

    Versus
    5 wins 2 draws & 2 losses

    All I've done is compare the 9 pl games before and after the lockdown

    I'm not making any other bizarre claims like citing a loss in a domestic cup, known under Klopp to be weakened sides, where 6 of the players who started had barely played any football and are part of your proof for exhaustion - from rarely playing football

    Never have footballers who played so little football, done so much in proving the impact of exhaustion from playing too much football.

    The temerity
