Yep, agree.Sure, but the teams playing in Europe should be planning for that by having bigger squads
If they were really worried about their players they could actually give them a complete rest by not playing them in a gameKlopp, Pep, Ole etc. are worried about the welfare of the players, I don't understand why people have an issue with them expressing their concerns. They should be allowed to give their opinions without being told to "stop moaning". They have legitimate concerns and are raising them.
Little things like five subs (which all the other leagues are doing), and not making teams play the early kick offs after being in Europe are just small things that can make a big difference. They're not moaning for the sake of moaning, they're concerned about these players being used as cattle. The amount of injuries we are seeing in the league already is a worry and it's only going to get worse.
These aren't ordinary circumstances, we're having to squeeze more games in to a shorter period and this is without a proper pre-season. All the other leagues around the world have acknowledged this except England, so I can see why they'd be frustrated.

Robertson has missed 24 minutes and Alexander-Arnold had missed 9 minutes before he got injured of CL or PL football so far this season.Well no because if they're legitimately concerned about player welfare they would rotate them more often. There was a stat about the minutes that TAA has played this season, are you seriously telling me he was required in every single one of your CL games so far and every single one of your PL fixtures to play close to or all 90 minutes in every game? Come on mate.
It's facetious of these managers to cry about their players' welfare when they're the ones pushing them hard each and every game.
These clubs have hundreds of millions of pounds behind them. Everyone laughs at the Van Den Beek signing at United but he's a perfect example of the type of signings these clubs should have made to allow for more rotation between games. That LB you guys signed in the Summer hasn't seen a minute of action, surely Robbo could have been given a break in favour of him a few times?
I still find it rather mind blowing that lower league clubs play upwards of 60 games a season but somehow manage to cope and not moan when their players are expected to play just as many games.

Ole made it sound like played Shaw even though they almost expected him to get injured

Ironically though they let VDB just sit on the bench. He is an excellent depth option.Well no because if they're legitimately concerned about player welfare they would rotate them more often.

They even got the got the early kick off before the start of their CL matches and the 2nd last match on the Sunday at the end of this round of matches.Out of interest, how many early KOs have Liverpool played after European competition this season? I didn't think there were any.

Klopp was talking about United having to play the early kickoff after playing in Turkey away on Wednesday night and how that wasn't acceptable.
Has OGS complained?
Did you not watch the postgame interview? He said it was a complete shambles that they had to play the early kick off after playing away in Turkey on Wed night.
Oh I see. And how many players from Wednesday did he start against Everton?
If they are so concerned they can rest playersDon't see why that matters, managers are allowed to be concerned about the welfare of players.

And what is your injury level now? I remember it started off not great but that wasn't a fixture congestion issueRead something the other day Frank has rotated more than any other manager.

And Lampard is another one who has been very vocal about the schedule and the five subs rule being rejected.
Of course he can, if he is rotating more he has more grounds for raising it as he is at least rotating rather than playing the same team every week.Is he allowed to express those concerns?
