The New Five Subs Rule

[Captain Turdseye]

This stuff is clogging up the Everton thread. Let’s get it straight. 
 

Is it better for the “bigger” teams and unfair on the shite, or will it benefit everyone?

[TheHowieLama]

Everton have about 5 decent players so the number of subs doesn't help them.

3, 5, 8 it makes no difference.

[TD_LFC]

It benefits everyone but it benefits the bigger teams more.

You would hope that it will inject more pace into games, it will also make it trickier against the teams that chase you all over the pitch as they can change half their outfield players.

Sensible change.  It'll benefit any club who manages it properly.

Agreed. Especially with another condensed season coming up.

Call me old fashioned, but I like tiredness kicking in and mistakes being made in the latter stages of games.

 

I don’t want perfection, I want mistakes and drama.

Agree.

I reckon it will evolve the game tactically. Training and cohesiveness will be more important especially for specific circumstances. Need to project a lead, or go for it well the manager now have more options. 

 

It will also allow for the development of younger players as more game time is afforded to players on the fringes. 
 

its just a good idea all round. 

[Babb'sBurstNad]

It'll help reduce muscle injuries, should provide a better pathway for youngsters to the first team, and it'll boil some piss.

 

What's not to like?

It benefits absolutely everybody, albeit in different ways.

 

England, as per usual, are the last of the leagues to adopt it.

How did someone manage to get tags on this thread?

[Pureblood]

It gives me the chance to moan five times.  

[Alan Sex]

It means if someone is shitting the bed, they will be off early doors. 
 

We will likely see more keepers changed if they are having a Pickford. 

[Barnesey]

As someone who loves playing games, I often spend an hour trying to work out the weaknesses of the opposition and trying to formulate a plan to overcome them. If, at that point, the opposition changes half their team it’s back to square one. Affects the essence of the game for me. 
 

If players need resting rotate them next game; rubbish to suggest a few extra minutes on the bench for 2 players will “protect” the squad. 

[Bjornebye]

Not a fan of it at all. Fuck VAR off and all.
