Someone needs to ask Slot how easing up on training and playing a slower more controlled game has helped prevent injuries this season. Its working wonders by the look of it.

Kimuraking, no matter what method of training we use, it wouldn't have prevented Bradley's injury. Unfortunately, and sadly, he's just prone to injuries.

Blaming the manager for a probable ACL injury. A new low for you.

Lack of fitness always leads to more injuries. That's Leoni, Isak x2, Ekitike, Wirtz, Jones x2, Gakpo, Bradley x2, Endo, Frimpong x2, Gomez and Alisson who've all suffered injuries now this season already. 15 different injuries to 11 different players. Thank god we're not over working anybody though, eh!
09 Jan 2026 15:42:28
Exactly Rome so why not have fit players that can last 90mins and freak injuries will still happen.
09 Jan 2026 15:46:13
Last year we were great with injuries, this year we're getting more. Luck of the draw it happens.
09 Jan 2026 16:15:11
Did you put money on the 6-1 result you predicted, kimuraking?
09 Jan 2026 16:28:09
It's a wonder we got away with it in the 80s when players were less fit and squad depth wasn't a thing. We were known for not overtraining especially towards the end of seasons.
09 Jan 2026 16:31:00
Longthing, our players did last 90 minutes.
09 Jan 2026 16:37:51
MK how many injuries do City have? Is their training wrong as well? Like Florian says, injuries happen to some players more than others. Alisson was picking up injuries under Klopp, as an example. What did Leoni's injury have to do with training methods? If you're an expert on sporting injuries, I apologise.
You want Slot out, I get it, but you don't have to continually conjure things up just to suit your narrative.
09 Jan 2026 16:39:53
What was Endo doing to get injured because he doesn't play and we don't train.
09 Jan 2026 16:40:26
Right back will be a problem area for us. You can just see it. We've got our 2 regulars, and yet halfway through the season we've had Szobo, Gomez and Jones there multiple times each
It's certainly not looking good.

Injury's that we are seeing bar the ACLs are down to poor fitness. The ACLs for me though are freak injuries that while maybe caused at times by lack of fitness I think both ours this season were due to impacts instead of not being fit.
But I agree we are having more injuries as the players are not fit. Isak was either carrying and injury when we signed him or he was still unfit due to poor conditioning. The fitness team really need to be looked at as well as Slot and held to account.
09 Jan 2026 17:22:11
Isak's injury was not down to his lack of fitness.
And I thought Ekitike was being managed because he's not fully up to the rigours of the PL yet.
09 Jan 2026 21:50:22
Bradley, freak accident - nobody near him, awkward landing.
Isak, accident - broken ankle from contact in scoring
Gomez, requires careful management for ongoing issue
Ekitike, requires short term management for issue cauded by impact in contact sport.
Stick to your score predictions @Kim, it's obviously what you are best at.
09 Jan 2026 22:38:50
Add Leoni freak accident to that too.
09 Jan 2026 23:17:12
Maybe pre-season training affects fitness levels?
Just a thought….

Look, there is lots of speculation but LFC just don't advertise who they want to sign. They are not like RM who seem to use Marca to publish their targets in the hope of unsettling the player,
LFC brought in some top tier players in the summer, they haven't all settled in, no debate there, but their quality is undeniable. We are already seeing that Eki/ Wirtz/ Frimpong and to a lesser degree Kerkez are improving. Isak was very unlucky he got injured scoring a goal laid on by Wirtz, if he hadn't, he probably would have kicked on. Isak is one of the best strikers earning a living right now and hopefully will be a star for the next few years.
This season has been crap so far for a variety of reasons and Slot deserves fair criticism, but it not many teams would have continued to play the way they did after replacing half the starting 11.
We have to hope that having spent so heavily on bringing in replacements who were absolutely needed up front, the Board will now focus much needed attention on the defensive unit.
So luck, there is 3 weeks left in the window, let's have faith, look at this season as a bedding in period for world class players additions. It wasn't that long ago that LFC needed a headed goal from the keeper to qualify for the CL soon after winning the PL and a new midfield was needed the year after losing the PL by a point and the CL final.
Some of the crap from so called supporters is stomach churning. The PL has changed, none of the teams are playing that counterattacking, flowing football we saw a few years ago. Arsenal and MC are grinding out results, I haven't seen one good game of football this season.
