OutByEaster? Posted December 17, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 17, 2020 Good - now surely that means an end to it for the season at least. On concussion subs, I'm completely in favour of teams being able to make an additional concussion substitution if they've already used up their three substitutes, if not, then they already have substitutes available - a neutral Doctor should make the decision on the field and any player that comes off with a concussion should be required to miss the next game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I thought about that. It would reduce the temptation of a tactical change further (and ensure a proper rest for the injured player). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted December 17, 2020 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2020 Were any of the four sides that are allowed fans moved into Tier 3 today? Liverpool, Everton, Brighton and Southampton were the only Premier league teams left i think. To me it seems a bit of a joke that four teams get fans and no one else does - I think it should be knocked on the head until everyone has the chance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, think the few games with fans showed that even a couple thousand makes a huge difference on performance and intensity. Not saying it's a guaranteed 3 points for the home team but it will be an unfair advantage if only a select few are allowed to have fans in the stands.

Zatman Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 At least 10 clubs voted against 5 subs so this must put this issue to bed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I like how the argument from Liverpool fans to him not making any subs vs spurs is "but he didn't have any subs to make!" So the problem isn't with wanting 5 subs it's with wanting a better bench... Their argument for it is weak as **** whilst no teams are making 3 subs or even wholesale changes to the starting 11 every week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Absolutely, it's the most embarrassing argument ever. Of course all managers want a *better* bench; how is that anybody else's problem? I'm annoyed at myself for even engaging with this topic, because it's all done with such a transparent lack of sincerity and good faith. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Going by xG we should be 2 points better off. Still, it shows how close we are to the chasing pack and a few points would make all the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted December 18, 2020 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2020 @useless has said elsewhere that there's a move to put nine subs on benches, is that confirmed? Would it be easier to just give all of our money to the top six so they can f*** off and we can just play football? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Aston Villa, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leicester, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield United, West Ham and Wolves voted to stick to the maximum of three changes per team. The league did, however, agree to extend the number of listed substitutes from seven per team to nine. The Guardian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
