Don't post reasonable stuff on this thread! This thread is for wild claims and excuses!
I don't even care about Liverpool but I really have a hard time with mis/ disinformation being used as the foundation for an argument.
If United were being accused of stuff like this (As they were for most of Fergies reign because I'm old enough to remember, or even the penalities under Ole) I would also offer some reasonable explanation that doesn't include "Bent refs", "Matchfixing" , "Scouse'lamic Ray Guns", "63% Asthmatic", "Blood doping" and "Citric Juice PEDs".
As far as I remember the big story from the start of the season at United was how the United players stopped stuffing their faces in the club cafeteria because Ronaldo arrived with his dedicated diet.
At the time that was celebrated as the great influence that Ronnie was to have on the squad, what it actually was a major red flag that something wasn't right at the club.
Player diet/ nutrition something that the biggest clubs in Europe have prioritized for years.
Is it a surprise that the players at other top European clubs put those guys to shame when it comes to fitness?
Im sure EtH will transform the situation within 18 months, as Klopp did at Liverpool.
