Two things: I agree, theres way too many games especially during WC years, but at the same time all of these teams are in more or less the same boat, they've all got a lot of games, they're all playing kids and reserves to wind up for the season and they've all got deep squads.
Its no different than pre-season in hockey.
If you want the money then its the nature of the beast.
They sold ~100,000 tickets to see Liverpool and United's 'C' squads, the most telling thing for me was that Klopp was looking at the positives and the growth in some of his new signings and young players and Mourinho was just complaining.
Your manager is the face of your team, if all he does is bitch and moan instead of working with his players and taking positives where he can then guess what the attitude of your team is going to be like?
