5 subs is stupid. 3 subs were far better. Now, you can replace half the outfield players, which basically means you can change tactics completely. It means more of the result is down to the manager. It also means there’s less need to prioritise which games are important, you can start with your best 11 every game, and just substitute later if the result allows it. It also benefits clubs with bigger budgets more, as they can afford having a higher quality bench.

    I guess you hate offsides, goalkeepers using gloves, and elastic waistbands instead of leather belts.

    The world evolved.

      I also hate coloured football shoes. They’re supposed to be black, with minor white details allowed. And no colouring the hair either. Call me an old grumpy fart. I know what I am.
