SiJ Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Ratified by the PL today after the big clubs (you know, the ones who threatened to destroy English football) complained and complained. Another crap introduction to the game, though I appreciate it is now the norm on the continent. For me, it removes one of the key skills/components of being a football manager; that being the ability to change a game with the 3 subs you have. Now you can pretty change half your team if you need to. Oh, and you can envision a scenario where the top clubs just stockpile more and more players. After all, they've got more chance of minutes on the pitch haven't they. Still - it is nice to see that the Big 6 got punished for what they did last season, what with the paltry fines, 5 subs and UEFA introducing coefficients into the Champions League. Utter sh*te. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owler66 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I hate the break up in play when a sub comes on now, this could happen now 10 times in a match say 2 minutes a sub at least, 20 minutes wasted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Giant Hogweed Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 If the big clubs (and managers like that whinging tvvat Klopp) continue to have their way we'll soon be up to 11 subs who can enter and leave the field as and when neccesary, ie a defensive 11 and an attacking 11 with a break every time the ball goes dead, and 4 quarters of 25 minutes with a 20 advertising break at each one. Sound familiar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I'll be honest I don't have an issue with it. More game time for others and if used correctly, could be used to blood younger players. And it could reduce injuries. Certainly due to the pace we play at in the UK. That said let's be honest it'll be abused and won't be used that way. Just more stockpiling of players at top clubs would be my concern.

latemodelchild Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Gives a huge advantage to the top clubs. 5 fresh world class players to come on around the 60 minute mark. It's ridiculous how the big 6 or whatever they are dictate how football is run. I wish the super league breakaway had happened. The FA should have given them the ultimatum of leavr and you never return then balanced up the leagues without those who went. Instead they begged them to return and bent over. Pathetic. I've not looked into this new 5 sub rule but is it just in tbe prem? What about FA cup etc? And other leagues? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markg Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I’d quite like it to have been kept to 3 subs plus 2 more they need to be under 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 It doesn’t bother me to be honest and I don’t think it will make any difference to how any seasons play out. There is also managerial skill in having the ability to recognise when not to make changes despite having options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 As long as they stick to the 3 occasions rule I don’t have too much of an issue with it. The big club little club argument isn’t really applicable here as they have to have a big majority to bring this rule change in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Apparently they insisted it was on the PL agenda again and again until the other clubs voted the right way. The game is totally carved up by a small group of super wealthy clubs. This is why we need an independent regulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanidaho Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 This isn't about player welfare, it's handing another advantage to the big clubs. If the brought in head injury replacements and blood replacements, that would be a step forward before they think about 5 subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few jouno's have said he's a nasty piece of work, especially when the camera's aren't around . He's proving to be perfect for Liverpool, whiny and entitled. This 5 subs think will break up and elongate games even more. 90 minutes on the clock neans nothing anymore, 5 subs each will see games going 100 minutes easily next season with injuries and VAR checks added.
