LEI 78 78 78 78 92 92 = far, far too late. We start the season, players are not match fit, we need to bring on fresh legs much sooner. It is hard to make an impact when you're brought on around 80 minutes; just as you get into the match, it finishes. Meanwhile we have several players jogging from 60-78 as they are knackered. 92 92 is an absolute joke.
The optimal time to make your changes is 60 mins. Players become tired at 60, and it gives 30 mins for subs to make an impact. Resting and rotating through the squad like this optimises the usage of the squad.
EVE 66 67 73 73 79 = stop start changes, just as we bring on someone on, we change it again, and change it again, and change it again, confusing.
NEW 46 74 82 82 = one interesting decisive change, then more subs that are far too late. Players are exhausted, still on the pitch, whilst fresh players sit and get splinters. Then come on too late to get into the game. We don't even make a 5th sub.
ARS 68 68 80 = too little, too late. Knackered players on the pitch, subs not used enough, coming on for 10 minutes is poor, and only 3 subs used in total
BRE 63 70 88 88 88 = making 3 subs on 88 is a joke. What chance do they have? They don't even have time to get their kit dirty. This is not using the squad, this is not rotating, this is stupidity.
You get the picture. Obviously all players can sustain 60 30 60 30 60 30 easily, so change it up and keep players fit by doing this or 90 30 90 30 90 30 or whatever mish mash to keep minutes balanced. In other positions you can go 90 60 90 60. But don't go 90 90 90 90 90 90 POP! Use the squad. Don't keep subs til 80 minutes.
