Ya too much small sided games and not enough conditioning to counter act. They did everything based on small sided games and thats a flawed approach. As it was put to me by a coach there, they were playing 3 games a week even when they weren’t. That i would suggest also leads to a drop in hunger, playing too much of the game actually blunts you, not sharpens.
Not suited to that at all. They have no time for that rantinga and raving.
Yes, thanks for telling me something I already know.
You claiming Leicester City’s success for the strength and conditioning community is fucking risible. They are top of the table and the credit to that is down to the players and management.
Are they a well run club? In EPL terms, yes.
I don’t want to take away from their achievements as what they have done this year is remarkable and it would be great and in the modern world of football to see the little guy triumph.
Your attempts to deflect the plaudits away to the lads who put out the training cones are hilarious though. Only a quack like you could come out with. Heaven forbid it would have anything to do with the form of Vardy, Kante, Mahrez etc or the wily tactics and good man management of Ranieri.
Leicester will play nearly 20 games less than Liverpool this season. Do you think they would be in the same position if they had that fixture schedule to contend with? There’s a very obvious reason why they have been able to keep their players fit.

From an entirely non scientific laymans view it always struck me that Arsenal got an inordinate number of very serious injuries. I’m glad to hear @caoimhaoin echo my concerns. I always wondered was there some issue with their training that caused this.[/quote]

Is Jerry Flannery still part of the strength and conditioning coaching team there?
Being replaced by Pako Ajesteran who was brought into the Valencia coaching set up to limit the damage in February. Rafa’s ex assistant.
Roids & Juice.
I thought Leicester were big on small-sided games. The same way Raymond Verheijen is a big advocate of that.
Gary Neville for the Villa! He can learn his trade there.
That was a student co-op program mate.
He’s back at Munster now, making fuck all of a difference the cunt.
Ya you use them, they are great, but like everything you need balance. Leicester cover everything, on-going. Its the train everything as you go approach, use it or lose it.Raymond Verheijen is very good in most ways but he still has somewhat of a misunderstanding of S&C’s role. He is loud and good at marketing, but there are better out there.
Usually the best scenario is a close-knit combo of 3-4 people including manager, coach, S&C and physio who all have an appreciation for each role And are allowed do their job.
How could he really. He is not even in an S&C role. And had no coaching experience of note. He will probably be good in time. Everyone needs time.
No, but there is 5 Irish lads there.
S&C played a huge role. You don’t understand it, but its their job to keep players on the field. And of course there are many factors, i mentioned Raneiri and the financial astuteness as well. What they have over all the big names is a well run club that allows everyone do their job and don’t allow one man run roughshod.
Relative to squads size they and liverpool have similar game schedules. Klopp banjaxxed Liverpool with the sudden change in style and training. It was dumb.

What are the actual squad sizes?
Ranieri gives the players two days off. They have that luxury each week because they have so few games. He kept Pearson’s coaches but brought in a fitness guy and one other that I can’t remember.
Not buying that a settled team is a better team so if managers have a target of doing well on every front they will have their best players out there. Look at Barcelona, with their club and country their plays are regularly touching on 70 games a year at a very demanding level. Leicester’s core players will just about to change 40.
That’s a huge difference.
The credit lies with the managers and players.
Be interesting to see how Leicester go this weekend. Influential group of players like Drinkwater, Vardy, Kante and Mahrez all on international duty over the past week or so where they wouldn’t have been in the past. Fatigue, mental and physical, combined with the run in. A defining weekend as SKY Sports would say.
+1
Southampton in good form too. If they win this then it is a huge obstacle out of the way.
Many of the rest of the squad on Intl duty as well I wonder? Kasper? De Laet? Okazawi?
