Like other sports it will become a central part of teams tactics. Whatever way we line up at the start, the game is now a squad game. Players and fans will need to used to seeing some of the more creative players held back until the opposition is tired. Can't the opposition then bring on fresh players to offset that?

I was very critical of him up to December but 2022 he was one of our best players most games he featured and chipped in with some nice goals. Certainly more to come now he's fully settled here and will also have target of trying to make Argentina's world cup squad. Only issue is how do we fit him and Coutinho in same 11 on weekly basis? Gerrard tried it for a few months and then we started alternating both from March onwards so that's still an issue that needs to be solved in long run.

End of last season our bench was actually stronger than what likes of Spurs and Arsenal were putting on themselves but problem was Traore and Bailey massively unfit and we were putting on Buendia at 3-0 down to Spurs so not much he can do in that situation. Think good thing at least is Gerrard realises Coutinho can be rested on occasions as shown when he was left out v Burnley away and Buendia ran the show first half so hopefully that continues this season and we have some flexibility in the AM position.

First season was settling in to what was a fairly unsettled team, with the manager change, new signings and numerous system changes, plus injuries. I feel he will really kick on this season and we’ll see what we broke our transfer record for him. 3 hours ago, Tom13 said: I personally can't see the five subs thing having that big of an impact. Regardless, we shouldn't even be talking about Buendia having to come on, he should be the first name on the teamsheet. He needs to play, end of. The only issue is getting someone to regularly finish the multitude of chances he can and will create. What a player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain players will be asked to play at a tempo that they can only maintain for 60mins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can basically bring on half a new outfield team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine next season you're a team like Fulham hanging on 1-1 at the Etihad with 20 mins to go, and then Pep brings on £200m worth of players. It means super rich teams can now hoarde even more players to use as impact subs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
