Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Arsenal in their last top-of-the-table clash saw a number of barefooted players on both sides of the pitch, with Arsenal's side in particular being the most serious, with a total of 26 barefooted players! There are conspiracy theories that Liverpool are intentionally "flooding" the stadium, and the same thing happened against Real Madrid in the UEFA Europa League last season.
Liverpool's 5-on-2 fast break in the second half was caused by Sim Jinco and Martin Odigat's trickery, as well as Martin Odigat's trickery in the penalty area and his handball (the referee didn't penalize him), and Bukar Josaka's trickery, etc., which obviously affected the players. Conspiracy theories suggest that Liverpool's use of long passes to Mohamed Sana's blitzing style of play was perfect to minimize the impact of the slippery pitch, and was absolutely brilliant.
