I agree with him 100%. It's why most of the big clubs have bigger squads and players with some good versatility, so help cover multiple positions and allow others to rest. It's hard on the smaller teams and those with less back up options in their squads. Brighton especially seem to be decimated with injuries whilst also having to factor in a European schedule.

Yeah, if this keeps up it's gonna become really important to have a versatile squad and bench. Having players who can only play one position is gonna be a luxury

Pep was way ahead of the curve on this one.

Claudio Ranieri was first manager I remember who really started rotating players in the Premiership. The British press nicknamed him the tinkerman because of it
