*"STRIDENT"* is the new word of the month on TalkSport

Bottom line is most players are like most employees. They have no idea of big picture and don’t consider where the money comes from. Players get paid the exorbitant wages they get because of the broadcast deals, sponsorship deals, etc. They pay that with the understanding that they will make money when they broadcast the games. They set the schedule as they are paying for that privilege. If players, managers, etc want to dictate the schedule then they need to accept that the money they are accustomed to will dramatically reduce. I can’t see any of these guys driving a cab in later life as many past players have had to to live.

Yeah Martin,players are collapsing from too many games😂😂…. You’re not allowed to say it may be the vaccines!!

Keown was a great player, but as a pundit he is really really off.

To work at its best the show needs a heel whether it be Keown, Sinclair or whoever else to occupy the seat.

I think it’s a simple trade, you play the congested features you accept that the best players can’t play every game so the quality won’t be as good (doesn’t mean the games have to be bad) or you stagger the games better and the quality is better. Losing those 3 lots of horrible international fixtures in the first half of the season will help.

That’s why they have a squad. Keown has a very simplistic and frankly blinkered view of most issues. Spot on Simon.

Its a difficult one, I think we as fans can sometimes look at footballers and think 'oh youre earning millions of pounds get on with it', and rightly so to some degree, i agree with simon to some extent. But we also have to remember that footballers are humans, with very short careers too, so when the fixture list is so congested, theres risk of serious injury, which nobody wants, especially not a footballer, whos career is already short. There is also so much at stake in football, and when the fixture list is congested it can probably feel like nobody is capable of delivering their best due to burnout. This conversation isnt as black and white as many like to think, its not as simple as 'get on with it', but its also not as simple as 'change the fixture list. There has to be a solution somewhere in between. If the footballers are saying its too much they have to be listened to, but they also have to acceot the fact that they are the main beneficiaries of the income generated, and as a result, be willing to take a pay cut or something.

Too many games?!? Here's a suggestion Martin Keown, get out and do a manual job, building, removals etc and do that 6 days a week on their wage... I guarantee you won't be whining about 'too many games'. Footballers live in an extraordinary privileged position.

These footballers are pampered

I get they play alot but come on football is a intense game at the amateur level I could only imagine at the professional Level they’re humans as well. With that being said no fans here will tell you they’d like to see man city vs Liverpool with 7 changes for both sides

Simon is absolutely bang on these pampered players wouldn’t know a days graft if it bit on the ass

Everybody seems to forget the most important part in all this and it's recovering time. It's a real thing and 1 day is definitely not enough. The quality of football suffers and the risk of players getting injury increases heavily. We have to bear in mind an injury for a player can literally impact their career or even sometimes end their career, because that's what it is for them, it's not just playing a game of football, it's their work. You can say 'well that's what a squad is for' but then you're basically forced into playing a weaker 11 in games which ruins the integrity of the competition.
