What does this even mean? “Isak is still in the recovery phase, and is expected to reach peak fitness in 3–4 weeks, after having already spent 4–5 weeks with Liverpool, and full recovery may extend up to 3 months, ” (Lewis Steele)

It means that it's a slow day at the office due to the international break and journalists need to come up with something to remain relevant for the next two weeks ;)

I don't know how players managed to play 50 plus games a season in the 70s and 80s with one sub.

Because in those days it was about footy and going to the match and not a business for sportswashing by dodgy conglomerates and / or the financial arms of equally dubious states whose only interest is the acquisition of more and more wealth. Players used to be people who played the game. Now they are business assets to generate and improve revenue streams.

I believe it means that Isak is still in the recovery phase, and is expected to reach peak fitness in 3–4 weeks, after having already spent 4–5 weeks with Liverpool. Full recovery may extend up to 3 months.

Absolutely spot on, WDW. It's a shame because I think the passion the players once had has almost gone as well. There's just far too much money in the sport now, it's ruined a lot of it. I'll always love football but it's not the same as it used to be.

spot f'ing on Ed.

Spot on, WDW. This is happening in the NBA as well. MJ recently said that players in the NBA don't play for the love of the game anymore. They are to busy playing other games off the court rather than focus on playing the game the claim to "love" on it.
As for the journo, seems he possesses 3 different sides to his mouth cos based on that comment, it seems all 30 sides of his mouth are moving at the same time.
