Sounds more like a reasonable dig at the premier league schedule. He's making a statement of fact as opposed to complaining, I think.

God knows how they'll manage the Qtar WC bollocks.

Yeah but most clubs are in the same position. I hate it when managers complain about fixtures etc like when Wenger used to or Jose continues to do.

Most clubs are not in the same position but that is not the fault of anyone. The fact we had far more players than anyone else in the Semi finals means we have more players with less recovery time, had Belgium and England not qualified it wouldn't be the issue it is.

Ok not most clubs but United have, Pogba, Lukaku, Felleni in the final and Young and Lingard in the semis. There is nothing Poch can do about it so I see no point in mentioning it, it wasn’t meant as a dig at him.

Belgium and England got to the semi finals.

Was he not asked the question about how hard it was to have a good pre season due to the World cup?

His main point is the early start of the prem when compared to the rest of Europe.
And it’s an extremely valid one, especially as the prem doesn’t have to factor in a winter break.
