I’m pretty sure, over the years I’ve watched, that his policy of not using subs has served us well in terms of results. It’s easy to remember those games where he didn’t make a sub and we didn’t win, but what about those where he made no sub and we still went on to win? I bet those are soon forgotten.

I don’t get why people want subs. It generally means replacing a good player with an inferior one.

Disagree with that.

Subs are now an important part of the game as players performance and peak fitness can make all the difference.
Football is about gaining small margins, fitness and fatigue are key in the modern game.
