Some of the service I've seen at Newcastle this season from our midfield wouldn't be fit for McDonald's tbh
🤣🤣👏🏻
*Your telling they can't even flip a patty?*
Lol
You are insulting the staff at McDonald's.
Think Simon Jordan sums up players perfectly, gives them enough respect on their ability but calls it how it is on everything else
@Bonny Hammer
Keane is just a passion and character merchant. Never says anything even remotely insightful in terms of tactical analysis, and pardon the pun, THATS HIS JOB!
I’m with Simon on this. These clubs have 50+ professional players and know the schedule waaay in advance. It’s the managers choice, making the players play twice in 3 days, not the fixture schedule. They could have easily plan ahead and rotate.
Maybe we should offer each team a choice at the beginning of the year… like a Christmas bonus… you can revive an extra £3mil in TV money or have a longer break… which ones do you think the clubs will choose???!!
Bang on!
Yeah some of what you said is right but it’s not that simple. And clubs do not know months in advance as all but one of the competitions they play in are knockout ones, no one can predict who is gonna play and when it will be played.
And every aspect of being a player is far more intensified than it was 30 years ago. Physically, mentally, socially it’s much more difficult than it was back then even if they do get paid too much.
Spot on. If a player has played too many games and is facing burn out, its up to the manager to 'manage' and slot a squad player in.
I believe the players should be protected from a manager who would expect them to play every minute of every game by making a ruling that a player 'must' be rested after their 5th consecutive game (perhaps exclude semi's, finals and last game of season).
@@banterbeards8967 The money is the point though mate. I don't see the footballing world complaining about their fan base being over worked and under paid.
You would need to work 45 hours a week for 208 years on a salary of 25k per annum to earn what a player on 100k a week earns in a year! 208 years !!!
Get rid of some of the pointless friendly internationals during the season and maybe they could manage the season a lot better, no sooner has the season started and along comes the international break.
They won't do that cause of the greed of the TV companies, governing bodies,... who keep scheduling more and more games so they can charge us more.

So fed up with klopp complaining
Simon the goat, I like that he calls a Moron a moron and a spade a spade, well done Mr Jordan👏🏽👏🏽
Absolutely spot on. The players didn’t oppose to the new tv deals, maybe because it pays their wages???? Players always say they would rather play than train too, so...
You think the players have a say in the TV deals? I don’t even know you but I’m sure you’re not that deluded
You would need to work 45 hours a week for 208 years on a salary of 25k per annum to earn what a player on 100k a week earns in a year! 208 years !!!
it's not about playing rather than training. It's about recovery. Players can't recover with such fixture congestion. It has been proven beyond any doubt by sports scientists that recovery is crucial and is non-negotiable. You can't force your body to recover ahead of time. Imagine the hardest gym session you've ever done, you can hardly move the next day. Now imagine someone telling you that you've got to do that same session, at the same intensity tomorrow. It's madness.
It's a tough run yes, but there is a two week break from the 1st - 14th. If Simon is right about the 80 percent than I really don't feel to bad. Most of us are forced to work occasional overtime. Except we do into our 60'70's.
In another clip Simon mentioned that players/managers get up to 80 percent of those deals.
The real question should be way is the sports journalism in UK asking these millionaire managers & footballers the same question after games for past few weeks now and are getting same answer. Can we move on from this now that includes journalists/media.
It’s the clubs giving the journalists the ammunition to try and get what they want, if you ask questions they don’t want to answer and you dare ask one your banned from the club!
@@geordietoonforlife.1155 What happened to freedom of speech my guy? Journalists are free to ask what they want. But we are free to criticize how stupid these questions are. But banning journalists for asking specific questions is a major red flag
My Wife works for the NHS. She got lucky with her shifts this year, but there are 100’s of thousands of people (mainly women) working 12hr shifts 3,4, even 5 days straight over Christmas and new year. Any footballer who wants to complain about being tired should try doing that.
@Dawitsco that’s obvious. But the attitude to put the effort in needs to be the same. Pay healthcare workers what footballers get & they’d work 8 days a week!
My heart continues to bleed for these poor football players and managers! Bunch of pansies!!
Leeds have had 10 first team players out over the last 3 weeks, not a sniff of complaint from MB
Bielsa's not complaining yet but ultimately it may end up costing him his job
@@paddymulligan more chance of platting snot than MB getting sacked.
He would if he could his interpreter is on his Christmas holiday 😅
That has nothing to do with boxing day
It was Leeds who made a request to the Premier league to cancel the match against Liverpool match as reported by Sky.
Interestingly Koop has never actually had to play 26th and 28th with Liverpool ever, and that includes this year given that it’s been postponed
It’s not about the two dates tho is it, it’s about the time in between them, 2 games in 3 days, he’s had that situation nearly every year
@@strictlyfootball7859 Actually it's only the 3rd time it's happened to him and he's been manager since 2015/16
@@Enzophanis1892 so every 2nd year?
@@stephenpigot7057 yes every 2 years he has a time with 2 games in 3 days. and given that this year no longer counts given that it was postponed then its twice in 7 seasons. such a hardship put on Klopp for those 2 occurrences.
"Foreign Managers...coming to our game" 😆
Lol david moyes is foreign
Simon spot on again. In the words of Tony Soprano - they’ve got a whole Virginia ham under their arm crying the blues because they’ve got no bread
🤣😂👏🏼👌🏼 great post.
Simon never had the makings of a Varsity athlete
@@Dan-pj4pp that is true!
Think was Junior Soprano who said that
@@thomaslawton7756 yeah I think you’re right now I think about it - either way the point stands
Did these foreign managers come to England without any knowledge about the number of games we play. No. They are guests in our country and should accept the way our league is played. If not they should book a Megabus one way ticket to wherever they came from. Adios my friends.
Lol... an English person talking about people going back if they don't like how things work for the people in that country ...💀
I bet klopp want england to be like Germany where they have winter break. Well mister klopp u can klopp out back to germany if u don't like it.
@@code_red999 Give them time off and they would be off to Abu Dhabi for a few "well rewarded" games.
@@tangerinesoulman hahaha how true. Make a few bucks while at it rite. Remember how player from days old slogged it in the snow without moaning. In thick leather boots n ball to boot. Now it's the lightest boot n bouncies ball
@@code_red999 I remember some shock results. Teams would give out a heavy hammering, then get stuffed by the same opposition a day later. Usually in derby games. What you have to remember is Klopp is a bully and always has an agenda. But he is a great manager and his attitude gets a fantastic response from his players.
Klopps been pushing for less ganes over xmas for ages. Simon is correct that the fans want it. Klopp is happy taking the money that it gives though.
As opposed to what? Work for free whilst his colleagues earn riches? Resign?
Wow all he asked for was for a change from 26th and 28th to 26th and 29th. All year round 3 days between games is the norm.
Players getting over 100K per week can play 2 football games in 2 days without bitching about it. They should have an option to get a pay cut and play less games.
@@stillsearching5816 LMAO you’re just jealous that they make those money.
Sorry dude, but they worked for it and not every footballer makes those money.
@@dajag6846 talking rubbish you call playing football work? They wpuldnt be able to work 80 hour weeks! Get a grip
...and if they did work at McDonald's then they would be expected to go in to work. Just because they're higher profile doesn't mean they should be treated differently to anyone else.
Spoken like a true McDonald’s employee 🤣 sad
@small arms kepa 😭😭😂🤣
@@smallarmskepa4390 You got knocked back from cleaning there bogs
*ROYALE WITH CHEEESEEEEE*
Klopp should stop the moaning. This is a british tradition and the quality has always been great. He should use his rotate his squad like the other teams. Footballers and coaches moan about everything but they earn much more than the average person and work less .
or maybe the opinions of Klopp and Pep should be listened to rather than disregarded? Germany and Spain have had far more international success than England have had. Maybe listen to the input from coaches that know how football schedules should work, rather than banging on about "British tradition" bullshit.
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Genuine question! We all know fixture congestion is inevitable so isn't Christmas period the best time to get it??
@@RafaelSantos-di5yw every other league would tell you that the Christmas period isn't the appropriate time. They get a few weeks off over xmas, whilst EPL players have to play every 3 days. The pointless international breaks are to blame for this. We lose 7-10 days every time England have to play. Then the league resumes for two games then it's international break time again. Scrap these disruptions and domestic congestion would be eased massively
@@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere Exactly!! Other leagues!! Other leagues don't have that many teams in European comps so they have to deal with only one or two teams getting the fixture list congested!! And yes I couldn't agree more, international breaks are definitely the big problem, they should do them at beginning and at the end of the seasons so why wouldn't have so you don't have any disruptions
There's a reason why footballers need a PR team and team who posts on their social media to make them sure not to post anything stupid, like it's funny
Wow!! I've got a sore neck from nodding in agreement with Simon Jordon. There are few other key, heavyweight commentators in world sport that I have more respect for. He's ON POINT ALL THE TIME! Every single word that comes out of his mouth is PURE GOLD
So the cleaners and delivery drivers have to keep working, the retailers have to keep working. Ah bless the multi millionaires want extra time off. This whole thing about wanting better football is bull!! Klopp plays 100mph football and wants his own players getting a rest and has the same size squad as everyone else. Rotate and dont rely on the same 11 players week in and week out. I find it interesting that more players seem to be suffering Heart issues as the game is more and more athletic/physical with each passing year.
Bang on comment! Stop gegenpressing or whatever its called and then your players won't be fucked!!
So you find it interesting that more and more players are suffering from heart attacks because of their elite fitness levels and you stand by a fixture of 2 games in 2 days? Well thats a whole lot of fucktardiness right there ! 😆
The heart problems came this year, what changed this year. What do all these players have in common. What has proven to cause heart problems and blood clots.
Let's put our heads in the sand and ignore the elephant in the room...
What medical intervention came into effect over the past year or so???
Here is a clue, it begins with the letter, 'V'.
Ignorance is bliss.
You telling me that the likes of Gazza and maradonna wouldn’t play every day if they could. They bloody well would.
with respect Gazza and Maradonna weren't examples of healthy living..and not the hardest trainers in training. Thats where the energy is spent.
You would need to work 45 hours a week for 208 years on a salary of 25k per annum to earn what a player on 100k a week earns in a year! 208 years !!!
"take a pay cut then". Seems a simple balance, I wonder how many would be in favour.
Totally agree with Simon here. You are literally in the top % of earners in the world. Arguably playing a game you love for a job that pays millions. GET ON WITH IT. So what if it's another 90 minutes, you have other squad members and subs
So what it’s another 90 mins? Are you the ones playing? Are you the one putting your body on the line? So what if they earn a lot of money. So because they earn a lot of money they can’t be tired? They can’t have their own issues? They’re not robots. The lack of compassion and the entitlement of fans is embarrassing.
They’re not robots mate. They are humans beings just like regardless of the fact they earn a lot
@@newrecruit100 sound like a player there pal!
@@newrecruit100 why can't they use their squad and give other players a chance?
@@newrecruit100 Just like the entitlement of players and coaches ?
old days 1st division played 42 games and fa cup replays! too pampered these days simon is spot on
League Cup matches went to replays, as did the finals - 77 League Cup final had two replays - and they didn't have a break for internationals. They played them midweek between league fixtures.
Game is faster these days though. You can't compare ages
Quality of the game has VASTLY improved 🤷♂️ its a different game can't compare the 2
@@princealyaseen not for arsenal, it hasn't
@@EmArgh you certainly can't. The ball is only in play for 54 minutes on average. So really they they do f*CK all compared to the 70s on horrible pitches and no stoppages.
Why are people so jealous, come on guys. These players were given a gift and they worked hard to become premier league footballers and managers. The World is so full of jealousy and envy it’s so annoying
Well said
couldn’t agree more
Haha spot on mate, been waiting for someone to say this. What happens if someone gets seriously injured or god forbid something happened like Eriksen? Will Jordan still be bitching and moaning then?
Does their gift at kicking the ball mean they have the right to be some of the worst people behind the scenes while pretending to be saints in public? They earn hundreds of thousands to kick a ball. They should have nothing to complain about and should just shut up as they're employees.
It's not jealousy, all people want is to be able to watch football at a time that suits them.we already have stupid kick off times that make it difficult for fans.They may be talented players and work hard but he'll fire they are paid ridiculous amounts of money,I'm sure the average working man would love their working conditions
Most the time managers say about the fixture list over xmas/new year its pretty much always in response to a direct question about it, if the media stop asking about it there wouldn't really be any discussion on the subject
Mahrez came out and said he loves playing every 3 days, you can tell which people actually love the game and which ones are just in it for the glamorous lifestyle.
Just play the damn game everyone else is having to work, go ask the government, its not one rule for you and another for everyone else
If that is true what Mahrez has been saying then good for him. At least he cares, not just for the fans but for a passion and hunger to carry on regardless.
Mahrez is Muslim though so he probably doesn't take Christmas as seriously. BUT he doesn't drink, smoke and even scored a brace against PSG in Ramadan (Islamic holy month) when he was FASTING!
@@mrhussain9008 exactly Mahrez doesn't complain even whilst fasting, he actually played his best during that period, Frank Lampard always played every game and never complained these guys are pathetic and the more money in football the worst it will get with fake players and we'll have more problems with disrespectful players and players not giving a damn on the pitch like Man utd
I love how Simon did not let Jim throw him under the bus with that McDonald's comment. Simon did not by anyway mean working for McDonald's is bad but clearly the rewards ain't same compared to being a footballer. I mean this isn't rocket science. Goooooooo Simon. I love how he spits facts. People don't like the truth
Couldn’t agree more with Simon on this
England won the World Cup without any subs...the players would have had a very long season playing on mud, with no dieticians or any of the 'sports scientists' we have today. Get on with it!
Spot on Simon. Football is entertainment and it's convenient for the crowd to go on back holidays. It's yet anther example of selfish premier league teams screwing everyone else as if the pfa got their way it would stop the bumper pay days in the lower leagues. Footballers should have solidarity with their lesser paid colleagues who through economic necessity have to play 2 games in 3 days.
But I bet when there's a gap in the calendar the Premier league teams go on far east tours and forget player welfare
I personally think the game on the 28th/29th is silly and should just be: Boxing Day & New Years Day

@@sherqyanstromain9580 it doesn’t provide context. This is my stance and has been for 10+ years. No need for a game in the middle
Poor quality football managers that rely on 3-4 players throughout the season. It’s their job to rotate the teams and make the most of the squad.

Simon Jordan is a national treasure lol
Klopp really feels he's entitled. He complains about EVERYTHING.

Simon jordan well said
It's nothing to do with player's welfare. Players train when they're not playing. Liverpool players in the 80s used to prefer having games every other day, because it was easier than training and meant they actually got more days off.
Exactly they all using the flu, to get out of games
Well said. Every 3 days is optimal performance anyway
Fans should be the forefront of all football decisions. I look love the Christmas schedule. Managers forget they have a squad to pick from with players eager for playing time wanting to impress and develop
You just contradicted yourself and you don’t even see it
@Bonny Hammer You do know that the smaller teams are being hit by this too, not just the big six. The big six are losing a lot of players too. It’s not about having both ways. Are y’all ignorant to the times we are in right now?
@Bonny Hammer what the heck has that got to do with it?
@Bonny Hammer are you serious lol? It’s PreSeason lol. Do you know the purpose of preseason or how it even works? Clearly not.
@Bonny Hammer Preseason is played at low intensity. They’re played when players are fresh. Players never play 90 mins in preseason friendlies. There are unlimited subs. Squad sizes are unlimited. And they don’t play everyday. So yeah preseason tours have nothing to do with this lol
USE YOUR 23 MAN SQUAD
Footballers seem to have enough energy to fulfill their personal commercial and sponsorship obligations though....which can involve jetting around the world...being on long film shoots...
So true 🤣🤣
They have to, they have to have energy too what does this even mean? Lol
He’s not the messiah he’s a very naughty boy!
If I was earning a years salary in a week I would find the motivation to run if it somehow wasn't already there with the fact that you play football for a living with great managers and players in the best league in the world. Catch me on christmas day playing knowing my family is together watching mate if I'm getting paid 50k for 2 games a week...
this is what i dont get, a lot of people work out everyday for more than 90 minutes. if you consider that, it is not inconceivable to workout 90 mins every 3 days. unless these people prefer to work as labor for 8 hours a day, which one is more mentally and physically exhausting 8 hours labor job for 3 days or 90 mins of football and live in luxury
We have to work til we are 67.....this lot are set up and retire in their early 30s.
Players should never complain given the money they are on
Completely agree with everything Simon Jordan says here
Managers have always complained about this schedule and can continue but no one is going to listen, football has been played like this in England before other countries even knew what football was
Another balanced opinion given by Simon Jordan, football is for the people, overweight boozy players, no diet, minimal fitness routine, n9 protection and running through a plotted field didn’t complain - mamby Pamby over paid individuals who can end careers early as multi millionaire so little or no risk. Chelsea Man City Liverpool arsenal have got enough quality players to raise two premier teams, I doubt the Burnley’s, Norwich and brightens of this world can muster 30% of a team when chalengemhits
This scenario happens ONCE A YEAR. These players and managers do not live in the real world. What do the rest of us have to do when we’re exhausted from work and have to go in again the next day? We get on with it because we have no choice. Are we at risk from injury at work because we’re overworked and over tired? Many of us are yes. Klopp needs to shut up moaning and stop trying to force a change to an English footballing tradition that’s been around for ages. If he don’t like it he shouldn’t have come here.

I don’t actually work in McDonald’s but even if I did it’s probably a good step up from what ever profession you reside in. Now run along and message Klopp and tell him how worried you are for the welfare of his players.

national trust funds baby
If you were in tv you’d be standing there drooling trying to remember how to speak
You dont have to pull one down to praise another. not necessary
I agree Simon Jordan is very good at what he does. But why diss Jack?
Simon probably couldnt play footy half as good as Jack but each to their on. Let's learn to love one another not bring others down just to praise someone. Not everything has to be compared.
@@dejibaddest6769 I kind of agree, in that nobody can lie on a treatment table better than Jack. 😂
It's a good thing these players and managers don't work for the NHS. If they did they would be calling for permanent restrictions to protect themselves. Some of them need to spend just a few weeks doing a proper job, they might then realise their privilege and get on with their jobs.
Players are essentially ENTERTAINERS. They forget that. They are not firemen, they are not doctors.
Deal with it! I have to work half the night sometimes as a farmer in Britain... Harden up and struggle
Who cares if they play on the 26th or 29th? Simon is talking nonsense it’s not a big deal
Liverpool Boxing Day game has been cancelled now anyway so Klopp will be happy
He only wanted 2 days rest between games instead of the 1.
Not as happy as me as I'm a Leeds fan 🤣
Only until it has to be played midweek a few days before the League Cup final or some other "big game".
There's an argument that you wouldn't have the strongest domestic league in europe without the FOREIGN managers pep klopp conte mourihno Wenger. Whens the last time a brittish manager won the PL ?
Just play the games these teams have big squads of quality players use them
Don’t think PL and Simon would be happy if all the teams played their academy players during these times. 😂😂

“Have some character, power through!”
Brilliant.
I'm sure when players retire they regret the games they miss
They complain because the VAST majority (footballers and managers) have never lived in the real world. Some footballers in the lower leagues. League 2 and lower can earn £4,000 a week. If managed right, one could pay FOUR mortgages with that money.
Most have never had to wake up 3:30am to catch 2/3 buses to get to work at 5am. Most have never had to do overtime and not get paid for it even though your contract said you should. Most have never even taken public transportation. Crazy maaaaan!!!
I don't always like you Mr Jordan, but I do respect you for saying what we are all thinking. Bang on Sir.
He’s bold, outspoken and throughly entertaining! Keep it going Simon Jordan.
If you asked my most fans they would play every single day if it meant getting there salary plus doing something they dreamt of as a kid don’t know how lucky they are
I would like to see some of these player doing a 12 hour shift on Xmas Eve at a wetherspoons pub they wouldn't last five minutes

@@smallarmskepa4390 did I say life is unfair nope definitely not troll away little Man
@@malcolmairair205 then stop complaining about people who have more than you ever will
You all are missing the point, if you've ever played any kind of competitive football you'd understand. It takes at least 48hrs to properly recover from a 90min+ game, and by your reasoning mangers should rotate their entire squad, for a game held 2 days after they've just played, that doesn't make sense.
The argument is about how in the last 5 years, the players havent had more than a couple months of break in total
So Jordan admits a sensible idea to have a 3 day break at Christmas but argues against it because... he thinks they're privileged? What a melt.
Yeah sometimes Simon gets ahead of himself 😅
Puts Grealish & Henderson in a thumbnail.. I've never heard those two complain about anything..
Clickbait pal
Henderson does tbf
Henderson did an interview moaning about player welfare literally this week. For a lad from the north east he is embarrassingly out of touch
Thank you Simon!!
Id rather wait 24 hours than a crucial player getting injured in my team
Simon Always hits the nail on the head. I just love listening to him.
I'm sick of Klopp complaining about the British fixtures lift around xmas. KLOPP GET ON WITH IT.
From a Cardiff fan.
simon jordan straight facts!!!!
Well said Simon. All clubs suffer with injuries and all clubs have roughly the same fixture congestion so the December bump in the road is the same for all. In fact, the bigger clubs with greater resources are best placed to ride out that bump. As for Gerrard and Henderson- there is no government lockdown so everyone is going to work and mixing with folk. As a teacher I work in a school with 1500 kids who mix every day and go home to families, so do my own kids. And just for the record I saw Matty Cash in selfridges yesterday and the place was packed. I've not got a problem with this but Stevie G needs to be aware that his players are happily out and about not isolating themselves in bunkers after training.
This dude is so jealous of "foreign managers." It's all the managers that are complaining, including domestic. Somehow this guy knows better than the people playing the game? It's obvious to me that he really resents the power people like Tuchel and Klopp have gotten because they WIN. Where would he be without those managers and players for him to gripe about?
Simon is always on point. Agree with him nearly all the time.
That’s because you’re a sheep and follow anyone who has a loud voice and conviction when they speak
@@smallarmskepa4390 wow! You’re so right! I totally agree with you now! Baaaaahhhh
Simon trying to create some Christmas controversy 😂
You do have two extra subs to help out nowadays 😂
Muamamba, Erickson, Aguero .... modern players are literally dropping, dicing with death playing football. Especially now, with rampant COVID19, there should be a break in football. Regardless of what you think of footballers, they are mostly family people who stand a high risk of contracting COVID19, whereby exposing their often young families.
Players suffering heart issues.....from the jab, open your eyes!
I’m with Jordon on this
Whiny super fit football players,saying life’s tough,get a real job
Sorry to disagree with an old favourite of mine like Arteta, but we do NOT have to listen to the players - I'm pretty sure the squad players & U21s would be more than happy to take their spots. They just want the wealth of a high-stakes, high responsibility, high-pressure job but without the responsibility or the pressure. This is how the world works: you can have a lower paid job & more family time or a higher paid job & less family time.
Mate they’ve asked one days extra rest for one fixture once a year calm down 😂
@@footballequalslife7452 They're not just asking though are they, they're trying to use "player-power" on one ting after another.
They've asked that we all applaud them at the start of each game, even though we live in a country of 67 million people who don't see eye-to-eye on anything, let alone politics.
At many clubs, the players seemingly are allowed to get their manager fired just by having a quiet word with the chairman that "the gaffer's lost the dressing room".
Remember when Beckham joined Real Madrid? Next thing we knew, England had to play in Madrid's all-white kit.
Now you've got them whining that they don't want to play twice in three days. So don't! Just excuse yourself & the manager can pick someone else. Use your squad if the first 11 don't want to play.
The like of Jordan Henderson assume powers that they have no right to. He's the captain of Liverpool. The extent of his power is limited to his team-mates & even that is tempered by what Klopp allows. He's not a spokesperson for all players & certainly not for all fans.
The fans rule this sport. Not the players. If they don't want that, then they can go find another profession. Or they can look forward to lower incomes as fans desert them
@@dylanparker130 They'll get it mate the Clubs run the sport not the fans.
@@ay613 Sad to say it, but you're probably right.
@@dylanparker130 In this situation the clubs are right it's not normal to play 2 games in 3 days ur own team will drop in performance.
Players just got massive new contracts and they good players around them to rotate.
Maybe some players feel threatened that the second string might have a good chance of prospering while they have to sit out.
That is why teams have substitute and reserve bench and a under 21 or 23 team.
Rest the 1st team, play the 2nd team.
maybe true, certainly controversial. That's Simon Jordan, generally speaking. For the record, I agree with him here.
How about the people just stop watching football & the players & managers stop getting paid? Then they can rest all they want.
Well said 👍
They do ALOT of work during training sessions and games ... they earn too much, thats obvious.
But if you push the players too hard, they will show fatigue.
Just cause they earn alot doesnt mean their bodies work like machines ...
I agree with Simon so many folks around the world go out there and work their socks off and we have millionaire athletes complaining about playing on the 26th for 90 mins not like they going out their for a 12hr shift
Running 10miles in 90 mins vs how much in normal day work?
@@dajag6846 I’d run 10 miles in 90 mins every day for a 100 mil contract like Grealish got than go to work for 12 hours for minimum wage
@@jahmaibancroft2013 every football player gets that contract, you mean?
Look at all the rejected players from academy or ones who couldn't even make it in Championship and so on.
You have to be elite and not just sit behind YT and complain.
@@jahmaibancroft2013 No you fucking won't lmao. With pre-season training sessions, game day, and training next day - you won't even last a week. And that's not counting on the fact that you're travelling, being away from your family, and a short-lived career.
@@lemontea000 speak for yourself mate
Actually every manager is free to say everything what he wants to at the Press Conferences. So I don't see anything wrong from the managers.
If they don't want to play so badly then tell them not to play without pay and see if they will not want to play
Love it!!! Simon 🙌🙌
Klopp is the biggest moaner in the Premier League, he's a big spoilt child when he doesn't get what he wants, if he gets beat or draws he attacks the other managers style of play, like every team should play the way he does, Klopp only cares because he wants to put out the same team every week because his bench players are crap and it's harder to field the same 11 every match game with so many fixtures, man up you spoilt child and do what many other managers have done for years and years under awful conditions, these players are pampered now, they live like kings compared to players of 20 years ago, the Premier League is what it is and the Xmas period will always be the same.
As for the headline/video title... he is correct though to be fair to him, not all players mind you as there's some normal humans playing footy... but the likes of Grealish, Foden, Chilwell, Maddison, Pogba etc are all players that I'm sure Mr Jordan is talking about here.
Pogba has a PHD in hairdressing tho...
Simon didn't mention any names please shut up and stop chatting crap.
Sure u wish u had a 1/3 of the talent these guys have, ur just salty just like Simon is, someone who has no appreciation for the sport go watch tennis if ur gonna complain about it.
Chilwell?
@Matt I know your Mum Simon has appreciation for the sport but certain players football justify their wages like Philip Jones and useless Maguire
imagine having to play 2 games in 3 days. break out the violins
3:09 “not me, not Hermione, YUUUUU”
