Serious question - What is with everyone getting all mad about photos of the situation?

This event happened and I think fans should be exposed to the human cost of teams playing 60 games a year and training like absolute mad lads

And seeing that players like Kjaer and Schmeichel are human beings forced to do human things is kind of important imho

I don’t think we should be looking away here

Because posting photos of a crying woman wondering if her husband is dead is loving grotesque

Stones was one of the best CBs in the league last season.

Which either says something about his improvement or the lack of good CBs in the prem

Because he had the player of the season Ruben Dias constantly telling him what to do. Tyrone Mings is not Ruben Dias.

"Pickford; Walker, Stones, Mings, Trippier; Rice, Phillips; Sterling, Mount, Foden; Kane"

what the hell kind of lineup is that

That's the Ole tactic of "I do not trust my defence so I'll play two holding mids" 4-2-3-1

Only without a left back

Well it's a back 5 made up of t-rex, rainman, mike tyson and two right backs so not trusting it is probably the right choice, but still.

Instead of putting Trippier on the left, maybe Gareth should have just put him on the right

I don't think he's allowed to do that. I can't think of any other reason at least.
