Have to say our fitness as professional football team in March is truly shocking. How are so many of our players so off it in terms of fitness? I can see midweek us getting to 1 all on aggregate, going to extra time and being dead on our feet.
I don't think I've seen our team so unfit at this stage of the season, truly alarming. Opposition teams must know if you hang injuntil around 65-70 mins and we will fold.

I thought Ed001 was joking earlier in the season when he mentioned how unfit they were and that the fitness and conditioning were a joke. Well, guess what, you probably feel vindicated Ed001, because I remember people on here saying it's because Slot wants to play controlled blah blah. It's like clockwork: every game, the team will drop off and be second to everything. We are likely getting far more injuries this year because the players' bodies can't handle the workload due to poor conditioning. They are probably tired from having to keep up with teams who have fitness levels above theirs.
Ed001, surely there's a reason he keeps giving them days off training, and if you go to the players' Instagram profiles, you see them jetting off two days before games?! That is a sackable offense in itself, the way he has handled the training of the first team. I've never before seen a top-level side have this many days off training. The trip to Ibiza before the league ended was the biggest red flag, as I know for sure Klopp or even Pep would never allow that to happen.
{Ed001's Note - yes, the reason is so he can have some time off to visit his family as being manager of Liverpool is just a part time job to this man.}

Brilliant, ed001. It's clear Slot is a salt piel, as the South Africans say - one leg in England, the other in his homeland, and his "lad" in the salty sea!

EDs If and when Mr Slot goes, will the new coach whoever they may be bring their own fitness and conditioning coaches in? Or will we need a stronger minded coach like Klopp who ignores the fitness coaches to a large extent and gets these boys fitter.
{Ed001's Note - I would expect the staff to be overhauled after their dismal performance this season.}
