Schedule overload and injuries
« on: September 29, 2023, 11:19:57 pm »
Just saw this on BBC:
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66964423

So what's the solution then? It's not only about added time, but fixture congestion, scheduling due to TV demands, pressure on clubs to go on ridiculous international tours during the preseason for commercial reasons, international fixture pile-ups. Liverpool dealt with player burnout last season, and we all saw how that turned out.

Yeh, you're right. I forgot about that.

Takes one of the media darlings to mention it then it's an issue.

Remember when we were told all teams have injuries and to just get on with it? Good times.
Rafa Benitez: "I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager. Thank you so much once more and always remember: You'll never walk alone."
