KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum playing 2 or 3 or more games in a row ????

That article says if we lose this game we'll be virtually dumped out of the competition, ridicalous.

its not a matter if the players want 2 play 3 matches in a week. its a question of if its benificial to the team both short term and long.i honestly cant see many players whinging about playing 3 matches in a wk. playing competative footie is much better than training. players get injured in training too

Not sure what you disagree with?

It would be taxing on their minds and bodies but they get paid extremely well and I believe we should play our best 11.

Was about to say the same thing, don't they know there are still 9 points to play with after this game including facing Anzi and Udinese again who are ahead of us. you said it, ridiclious

We could lose our first 3 games and potentially still qualify. People overreact too much. A win tonight is pretty vital though. If it were away, I'd accept a point, but ideally we should be winning our home games, and we've already lost the one we've played at home in the competition.

I'l re-evaluate my opinion if I can find out howmay days/hour per week they train and how intense it is. A lot of their 'hectic' schedule is spent sat in luxury hotels or scratching their backsides on a coach/plane. I'm not sure what level of fitness that requires.

This debate reminds me of the age old debate of which hurts more: Childbirth or a kick in the nuts.

Of course they are going to have more downtime than a regular 9-5 person but they are expending vast amounts of energy in their training as well as gym work and that comes before any matches are played. Playing 2 top level matches a week cannot be sustained over the course of a season without a severe dip in form and fatigue

Vasts amounts of energy? Still less than that of anyone who has to graft a bit for a living.

Probably not if you're in an office job. The toll that level of training takes on you is draining. It is a great job to have and the money is ridiculous but that doesn't mean they can defy their own body and the max it can take
