Fox92 Posted 31 March 2022 Share Posted 31 March 2022 5 subs Minds well just start changing the whole teams at half time. Joke which benefits the clubs with better squads. Even though Rodgers does support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 31 March 2022 Share Posted 31 March 2022 Was always going to happen once the rest of the world continued with it. Being able to change half your team cannot be seen as a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soar Fox Posted 31 March 2022 Share Posted 31 March 2022 Klopp will still find something to moan about during the Christmas schedule on how hard & tough it is for the players. This hasn’t got anything to do with player welfare it’s about the bigger clubs widening their grip. Say Burnley winning 1-0 and Klopp ready to bring on Salah, Jota, Mane, Fabinho, TAA completely changes the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might help us in solving some of our injury issues, too. I mean, if the FA gave as many shits about developing young talent as they claim then it'd actually be a rule. Okay, no problem, you want two extra substitutes because you're worried about player fatigue? That's fine, we'll up it to 5 but 2 of them have to be under 21 and eligible for a UK nation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how legal that is to limit a job to just British citizens. Legally Irish citizens have to have equal rights to work in the UK as British citizens, so it would have to be eligible for UK or Irish nation at the least. I’m pretty sure it would be at least against the spirit if not the law of the withdrawal agreement, if anyone with settled or pre-settled status from EU days were not got given equal rights to work in the UK like they had when UK was still in the EU as well.

There's absolutely countless examples of Pep and Klopp not even using the subs they've been given let alone needing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a great idea. It would give a couple of the young lads a chance to experience the whole Match Day. Even if they are unlikely to be called up if needed. It would also be fairer to the smaller Clubs, who don't have International players on the bench every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home grown is to do with whether you’ve been at an English (or Welsh club in the English pyramid) for at least 3 years before your 21st birthday though, your nationality has nothing to do with it. For example Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku are both considered “home grown” even though neither qualifies for a UK nation. What Finnegan is suggesting is only allowed to be bring players on based on them being UK citizens, which is very dodgy legal ground. At the very least, I highly doubt you’d be allowed to exclude Irish citizens from that. Edited 31 March 2022 by Sampson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
