KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Melwood training sessions

Don't know about anyone else but I was always annoyed by the ' great melwood photos' that showed the players grinning & lolling around on space hoppers and giant bean bags. I wander if the photos from training sessions will be similar to the ones under the last manager?. I don't want to see them miserable in the photos but it is annoying seeing the players lolling about on these giant childrens toys after a hard days shift on twitter. I dont know much about Clarke but he looks like a bit of a disciplinarian to me. Let him weed out the pansies who don't fancy putting a bit of effort in.

The playing on the balls is for warming up only & using them is meant to create a laugh cos thats what happens.

If its annoying get used to it.

You don't create team spirit by being a task master and yelling at the players all the time; having a bit of a laugh together does that for you. We could use more discipline, yes, but we need team spirit and a sense of togetherness more.

And togetherness can create a champion team because they will end up playing for each other a lot more...and we all know that a champion team will beat a team of champions....

That's just for the photos mate, the real trainig regime is kept secret.

Yes this is very correct, there is only so much they allow to be caught on camera.

Were photos are concerned tho it annoys me when they have these photo shoots in the clubs new range of fuuckin pj's and tracksuits etc... less daft photo shoots and more training and perfecting there game is needed.

Apart from this tho, there is a need to have a laugh during the sqauds training sessions to enhance team spirit and the bond between the squad, thats the same in any team sport.

Those big space hoppers are not toys, they are actually the best way to improve yout inner core muscles and get you a six pack.! Widely used in gyms and by physios all over the world.

why are we even having this conversation. a picture paints a thousand lies. you cant take an isolated photo and say this is the ethos of the liverpool training regime. everyone knows that a happy team is a performing team. are they not allowed to enjoy training? im sure they werent at it all week. plus morale is a major issue at our club so any activity that can get a smile out of gerrard and torres these days is probably welcome.
and yes it is very good for core strength and balance.

space-hopping with a serious expression.

Loosen up dude. Are you from the FA?
