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.

Europa has always been difficult for teams to handle. You often saw teams qualify and then next season be battling relegation. This isn't a new phenomenon.

We had 4 different competitions AND a winter World Cup AND a messed up schedule due to the queen’s death last season, it was fucking absurd watching us playing every 3 days

This year should have been postponed like three weeks or so.
