Not worth a thread, but it was highlighted as one of Slot and his teams strengths and so far we have a full squad.
I think it does because it worth more discussion about the backroom staff changesThings Ruben Peeters has introduced per TheAthletic FC:

@King Binny I think posted a tweet saying Klopp's fitness coach was the reason why some backroom staff left. His training technique was gruelling, and added to injuries. Also, he was involved in the recruitment process.Things Ruben Peeters has introduced per TheAthletic FC:

This Klopp sounds a dick, glad he fcked off after 9yrs. What’s he ever done for us…@King Binny I think posted a tweet saying Klopp's fitness coach was the reason why some backroom staff left.

A set piece coach wouldn't go a miss
WTF?!?! andreas kornmayer fitness technique was gruelling.... Klopp stood by his fitness coach despite the criticism but I think some could level the accusation Kornmayer's technique increased the likelihood of injuries and fatigue.This Klopp sounds a dick, glad he fcked off after 9yrs.

There was some guy who wrote a book about training methods or something and warned us that Klopp's methods will lead to many injuries.WTF?!?! andreas kornmayer fitness technique was gruelling....

Klopp + Kornmayer vs Edwards + Jacobsen@King Binny I think posted a tweet saying Klopp's fitness coach was the reason why some backroom staff left. His training technique was gruelling, and added to injuries. Also, he was involved in the recruitment process.

Correlation does not, necessarily, mean causation ... but there was talk before Slot arrived that he had a good record around squad fitness, so the evidence is beginning to pile upInteresting to see where we were at last year at this time in terms of injuries and absences. I mean, most of the list below would not be the result of an over zealous fitness coach, but certainly, we're in a much better place. I'll maintain that Slot is a lot luckier than Klopp, which is no bad thing.
- Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring)
- Trent Alexander-Arnold (knee)
- Mohamed Salah (AFCON)
- Wataru Endo (Asian Cup)
- Andy Robertson (shoulder)
- Kostas Tsimikas (collarbone)
- Thiago (hip)
- Stefan Bajcetic (growing pains)
- Ben Doak (MCL)
- Joel Matip (ACL)
Yeah so far only minor injuries. The only major one, I think, was Jota's rib injury which had nothing to do with fitness.Correlation does not, necessarily, mean causation ... but there was talk before Slot arrived that he had a good record around squad fitness, so the evidence is beginning to pile up
You also mentioned transfers and set pieces.WTF?!?! andreas kornmayer fitness technique was gruelling.... Klopp stood by his fitness coach despite the criticism but I think some could level the accusation Kornmayer's technique increased the likelihood of injuries and fatigue.
Our throw ins wind me up so much. Slow slow fucking slow.You also mentioned transfers and set pieces.
Point is, he may have got some wrong but got lot right in balance. I think lot of the criticism related to transfers and set pieces is not balanced. He was part of a transfer committee that got a lot right. Was he not one to intro thrown in coach.
We tried that new corner routine for one game, that was funny.Our throw ins wind me up so much. Slow slow fucking slow.

No one here thought the appointment of Kornmayer was wrong. However, what is a fact is Kornmayer was a contravertial figure who had critics worth their salt. I merely pointed out the difference citing vaguely King Binny's post.You also mentioned transfers and set pieces.

It's not taking into account International breaks and the games played then by the playersHow does that math work?
Season started almost 6 months ago.
That’s over 150 days which is close to once every 5 days vs once every 3 days?
Rio has been added to the CL squad
It’s not comparable at all and even then it’s still not every 3 days.It's not taking into account International breaks and the games played then by the players
You can probably add another four to six games to the mix
This gives me the shivers... the thought of that prick in our shirtHe's a little old for it, isn't he. Punditry not as much fun?
