Why wont EPL/FA help our teams in Europe ?

Poch mentioned this a few weeks ago.
We play Dortmund this week on Tuesday so German FA switch Dortmund's game to Friday so they 1 day extra to prepare. Spain do the same. In England most teams have a disadvantage.
Brings back memories of a few years ago in Europa ?? when we played in Portugal on a Thursday night (later KO too) only to have to face Chelsea on the Saturday lunchtime overriding the "Thursday/Sunday rule"
Surely the fixtures should be manipulated to HELP our teams rather than hinder them.

To be honest I think the excuses about not enough time to prepare are overblown. It is what it is. The longer some teams get between games, the worse they play. Spurs have a two or three week break coming up shortly, I bet they come back absolutely worse than they are now. It is like having a holiday, who really is up for going back to work after a fortnight away in the sun?

Liverpool got to cl final last year
We won the europa league the yr before

England had a team in the cl final every yr from 2006 up to 2012 bar one year.

Fixture list doesn’t hinder our teams at all. Just at the moment English teams are not good enough

Sometimes teams get given easy draws down to the amount of bungs given to UEFA, without them neither team would have got far.

It's quite a simple idea, the number of days preparation before a big game. I fail to understand why some people fail to grasp the point here ....Oh ! got it now, just an excuse for a feeble and childish WUM.
Come on, grow a pair (OK may be few years before you do) and try to write something sensible.

So you wanted the NLD moved back a day to give you an extra days rest?

But that would mean you’d have to play 48 hrs after playing chelsea, which you’d have moaned about.🤷🏼‍♂️

Don't you think the FA give Spurs and Kane enough help as it is.

Golden boy has scored the most penalties in the last 3 seasons
