Liverpool fans have reason to be cheerful this summer. They have made some decent signings, with Sadio Mané being the standout capture so far, and in Jurgen Klopp they have a young, ambitious manager who is eager to prove himself in the world's most famous football league.

But perhaps fans on the red side of the Mersey should temper their expectations a little, after reports in the Indo today suggest that Klopp is too demanding of his players on the training ground.

Raymond Verheijen is a former coach in the Wales national team setup and has been extremely critical of Klopp's methods of extreme conditioning in advance of matches. Verheijen claims that Klopp "destroys players" by having them do "too much, too soon" which leads to his players spending a LOT more time in the treatment room compared to other clubs in the league.

Jose Mourinho is another coach who is known to be extremely demanding on the training ground, even leading to some speculation in the midst of Chelsea's decline last season that the primary cause for this was that the players were over-trained.  This is a claim that has followed the Portuguese around at the various clubs he has managed across Europe, with some saying it explains the 'third season syndrome' where some of his teams begin to inexplicably underperform.

In a diatribe posted to his Twitter account, Verheijen blasted Klopp and - worryingly for Chelsea fans - Antonio Conte for their outdated training methods.

Something tells us that Daniel Sturridge won't play much next season if there's much truth to the below.
