CosbehFox Posted 7 May 2021 Posted 7 May 2021 Being on standby was common for major tournaments until about 94/96.

We've heard from players on numerous podcasts/post retiring that when you're told you aren't playing you train and prepare differently. Mentally in a different space which is hard to switch if there's a last minute change

I mean just look at vards, he clearly didnt enjoy his time with england and he actually had a bit part role. I dont think we live in a world where the players are just desperate to be involved any more. Best case scenario, these guys get bumped to the bench and still wont play
Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 7 May 2021 Posted 7 May 2021 Lovely listening to Ole moan about fixture conjestion. Man United have nobody to blame but themselves, suck it up and get on with it. 1

The government have really dropped UEFA in it. I am sure they purposely put Turkey on the red list because of this match, no doubt. Now they are making the most of the opportunity and trying to bring the game to the UK. If not, blame UEFA for no fans of the 2 clubs being in attendance in Turkey.

Players (especially the younger ones) should be happy to be in the squad for a major tournament to gain experience of how it all works.

If the players and staff are allowed to travel, what’s the chances that some of the players could pick it up and then take the virus to their national team bubbles post final ?? Surely uefa should be conscious of the risk this poses to their euro tournament???

Some of you need to get a grip and realise this is football, no team wins every game! All results are possible in any premier league game and at the end of 38 games everyone will be where they deserve to be. Probably regret tonight more though.

Worst but is that I work overseas so have to listen to all manner of supporters, mostly Chelsea.
