If some teams have gotten used to the new format then other teams should not be complaining about the busy schedule of this season. The competition is leveling up and all teams have to level up to be fit for the competitive season ahead of them due to the number of matches for them to play. Manchester City is a big team, if they’re complaining about this, then what will smaller teams say about it when they’re also into the same competition with them with a lot of fixtures for them to play. If more than 70% of the teams with this busy schedule don’t complain about the games, I don’t think anything will be changed about it even in next season.
No matter what the format might be their going to be people that will actually do well at the cost of how tough the league and their is no excuses for failure and this season alone shows how a lot of people are not responding well, and the course might be unknown for now, because all most all the big clubs have good players and they are not doing well even when they have excellent players because you won't tell me that is what the city lacks. And if it is about the busy schedule this is not the first time that they have been participating in various leagues so why is it that is now that they are complaining.
And if Manchester City is complaining they are just looking for excuses to give because they have faced more challenging moments than this and if they keep given excuses then they will continue this way because the other smaller clubs are not complaining so why is it the city are the once complaining and with the international games going on is still suppose to help the players when they come back to their own clubs they would have learn something new, we know how players behave sometimes, bo matter the instruction and coaching it will not work.
