Some teams played on the 26th and 28th, so within 48 hours. It has been proven that playing with such little rest in between puts players at high risk of injury. I dont think it benefits anyone to have potentially increased injuries or heavily rotated squads for anyone, there should not be games within 48 hours of each other. If tradition was strong enough of an argument to never question things then we would still play on Christmas Day, a change to tradition that came well before these pesky greedy foreigners came over.

You arent addressing my point which is a common theme for you so just leave it there.

I have address your point tho. Leicester played fantastic last night. Didn't affect them but Rodgers used his squad despite injuries and Covid. He doesn't look for excuses like Tuchel and Klopp do. I have highlighted Chelsea in previous weeks schedule when Tuchel had no problem the schedule then cos they were winning. Now they are losing I blame the schedule for our form and the fact he has see his title bid falter whilst Man City are continue to win and get on with playing games

The PL sold the rights for games to this week and for teams to play 2 games with 48/72 hours. 

These are professional footballers who should be more than capable playing 2 games with 72 hours. Plus these clubs have a 25 man squad and used them. Teams Liverpool and Chelsea have huge squads so used them

I agree with just about everything you have said in your ongoing discussion.

It is worth pointing out that the PL is 'owned' by the 20 PL clubs who in turn employ the likes of Klopp and  the winger Tuchel. I trust they have complained to those who pay their wages.

Man United vs Burnley on amazon prime tonight.  

Hopefully another step towards the dream of swapping places

Hoping it's not the case obviously, but this is the sort of game in which Burnley pull off a surprise result.

[SuperBrfc]

A game where I want both teams to lose tonight. Draw will do, as it helps neither of them really.

[Ulrich]

Na Burnley defeat, nothing else please, if they come down, we will either over take them or get to beat them twice next season 😂😂👇👇

[Silas]

 

Chelsea fan's not going to be happy with this.

Well United are pretty average at the moment. As a club they’re just drifting.

The first of 5 has just gone in at OT 🍻

choosing over utd and burnley is akin to asking wether you`de like to be stabbed or hit over the head with a brick

oh yes,anyone over burnley

Tell you what, Burnley are barely putting any challenges in at all here. Always helpful to at least attempt to stop the opposition running at you…

Long term injury (knee ligaments). They love him there; he’ll be straight back in when he’s eventually fit.

Pretty average was good enough to beat that lot, which will do for me 🙂

They all rated S K see how well  good  he is ?

[only2garners]

I see that Burnley have managed to be the worst performing team in 2021 on a points per game basis across all 4 English divisions.

[DE.]

And yet they stayed up by 11 points last season and are only two points off 17th this season despite having only won a single game so far!
