I'm not really sure how FIFPRO aren't lighting Barcelona on fire for stuff like this.
🚨 Barcelona are willing to pay Frenkie de Jong back just £3m in deferred wages and have asked him to forgo the rest in a bid to see his move to Manchester United go through.
As a reminder, he is owed close to £17m in deferred wages.

Mason Mount played more games from project restart to Club World Cup (14 months) than Gary Lineker did from age 29-34.
FIFPRO are calling for mandatory season breaks and a limit on back-to-back games to protect the welfare of players.
Report published today highlights how young players are playing considerably more minutes at this age than predecessors.

Chelsea were 0.99-0.29 xG when Malo Gusto sees red, with a Raheem Sterling and Nic Jackson chance flagged offside that would have been VAR'd on if they scored worth a combined 0.5 xG. 1.5 - 0.3 in 57 minutes is not just fine, it's excellent. Chelsea were excellent for 57 minutes.

I really feel it is disingenuous to suggest Chelsea fans are blood thirsty and aren't "trusting the process". Fans have been desperate for a long term manager with a clear plan for growth. Problem is nobody can look at the team selection + tactical choices and see a plan.
Usually when Chelsea are on a bad run, they sack their manager.

It’s not enough that Fabinho touches it last, it has to be a deliberate action on the ball (a pass, sometimes a slide tackle). Blocking a shot or intercepting a pass doesn’t bring the offside player back on. Fabinho here very clearly doesn’t meet 2 3 or 4.
