Hucks6 169 Posted February 15, 2020 All we will hear now is we played well, getting fed up hearing it why oh why yet again subs 9 minutes from end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hampton canary 24 Posted February 15, 2020 A bit harsh but he could have taken Rukk, Duda and McLean off as far as I am concerned, they didn't really contribute anything. I feel sorry for Vrancic and Buendia as they both should have started. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiery Zac 1,066 Posted February 15, 2020 One team is Liverpool where each player is worth more than our entire team. One team is now 25 points clear of the rest of the league and the other team played well, gave their all, didn’t disgrace themselves and worried one of the best sides the PL will ever see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 15, 2020 Well the substitutions were made and were frankly not any good. How Vrancic can't get on the pitch I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disco Dales Jockstrap 1,891 Posted February 15, 2020 I think we could all see we weren't going to hold on. Something needed to change. Might have helped...might not. No criticism of the team though. Gave 100% against the best. OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had he done it 6 times in 20 I doubt we would even have had the opportunity to get back into the game. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hucks6 169 Posted February 15, 2020 Yes they gave their all but subs come on to late AGAIN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted February 15, 2020 I absolutely hate the attitude of "oh but they are the best team in the world". They may well be but to use it as a reason for not subbing earlier is nuts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted February 15, 2020 After holding them and chasing them around for 60mins some players needed to come on to freshen up the legs. Great performance overall and we should take that into the next game with our heads held high! And put in another great performance against another top team.

BaltimoreBird 127 Posted February 15, 2020 Forget a tactical sub, I simply want fresh legs to run up and down the pitch. They were absolutely gassed from the performance they put in. They deserve to get some help from their teammates who have a full tank of gas ready to go and preserve the point. I can't help but be proud of the effort, but I fear this will only solidify Farke's insistence to not get subs on when needed. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted February 15, 2020 Farke relies too heavily on his starting 11. Great performance but in 2xseasons he hasnt learnt how to use subs to help a game or change it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted February 15, 2020 Spurs and now liverpool have ahown subs change games into winning situations. Doesnt always work but we never give ours a proper run at the game 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 936 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) The thing is, Farke was never going to change anything unless Liverpool scored. Despite some weary legs, he had no intention of making subs until he was forced to. The 2 subs that came on were not even ready to come on and it took 4 minutes for them to make it on the pitch. Four minutes might not be much but when you've got only 10 minutes left, 4 minutes is almost half the time gone before the subs got into action. And then to expect them to be up to speed and making crucial passes in the 6 minutes that remained after siting on their backsides for 80 minutes is a big ask.

How Vrancic can't get on the pitch I don't know. Good player when we have the ball as he has a touch of class. When we don't he leaves acres of space to be exploited as he goes chasing it. I wouldn't put him on against Liverpool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowhammer 86 Posted February 15, 2020 Final ball was poor at times and again pukki should have scored but they did give a good performance such a shame will not be here next season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirsty Lizard 3,155 Posted February 15, 2020 Staggering how some people seem to watch the game with their eyes firmly shut. We had by far our best period of the game for the ten minutes before Liverpool scored. We weren't looking tired at that point and for the first time in the game we weren't looking under pressure. Why would we have wanted to bring on a sub at that point? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
