My concern has been sides protecting a lead by making 5 individual subs to really disrupt proceedings so the side chasing a goal can disrupt momentum.

To be fair we could take advantage of this ourselves, not that I particularly love deploying that stuff - like "buying a foul" and so on.

One solution I could foresee is limiting the 5 subs to 3 instances of making substitutions, so a side could, for example -

Sub 1 - bring on 2 players.
Sub 2 - bring on 1 player.
Sub 3 - bring on 2 players

(or 1, 2, 2 - or 2, 2, 1 etc)

- as opposed to -

Sub 1 - bring on 1 player.
Sub 2 - bring on 1 player.
Sub 3 - bring on 1 player.
Sub 4 - bring on 1 player.
Sub 5 - bring on 1 player.

I think you can make 5 subs but only at 3 intervals Sid.

Only way out of that is perhaps HT or concussion subs.

Again, 60mins with a stop clock would stop all of that sillyness instantly.

Konate has a "knock" so won't be starting.

Damn friendly.

That's really reassuring to hear, thank you!

Can you imagine Pulis' Stoke or Mourinho's Chelsea being able to make 5 individual subs
?

Alisson

Trent Matip Van Dijk Robertson

Carvalho Henderson Thiago

Salah Nunez Diaz

No need for Fab in games like this

Five subs is huge, get it done get them off. Delighted it's back.

Need to win tomorow and get a statement set early on. With Arsenal and Spurs probably improving.. Its likely the points total will be lower to win the league this season. So a good start to the season is require.
