I think Gary Neville summarised our performance well last night when he asked 'where was the energy'.
We all know that we are very likely to concede soft goals and pack the team with midfielders. But when all those midfielders don't put the effort in we end up with a shambolic performance like at Leicester. And Hull. And Sunderland etc.
It's a massive part of our game and if we don't put it in we end up dominating the stats- possession, attempts (usually long range), corners etc. except for the one that really matters.
I hate it when we don't even compete. Hate it!

{Ed002's Note - The energy was left in Spain after Klipperty had the players do another pre-season when they could have had a break.}

Surely a "pre-season" at this stage of the season should be a doddle because the players should already be at peak fitness.
Why do they need a break?
I agree with the "pre-season" because if you're not playing for 16 days you will lose fitness.
It's different if it's a "winter break" because every team is in the same boat.

{Ed002's Note - So it was a doddle Ron, no one came back with muscle injuries and Liverpool dominated their first game back. I appreciate that Klipperty is someone the Liverpool fans get the Kleenex out for, but he remains a long, long way from being a top class coach.}

Reminds me of Brendan sending Sterling to Jamaica for a mid week break lol.

Which means we should have increase energy levels after recovering from this Leicester exertion for Arsenal? That should further reinforced our RobinHood status in bpl as anti flat track bully.

It can't be argued. Liverpool looked done last night. I wonder what Souhampton done in their 2 weeks off?
