Here we had Jon Champion calling the Reds game. He was going on when Sturridge was about to come on (with Lallana already off) about he was taking too long, should have been prepared beforehand. What he singled out was Danny removing a gold chain he was wearing. I'm not a doctor or anything, but pretty sure taking a chain off takes about one second. Maybe another second to hand it to someone.
I know we don't want to spend time playing a man down, but unless we're going to have every sub in full uniform and standing on the touchline in the ready position, ready to sprint on at a moment's notice, it's hard to avoid.
I guess they are paid to keep talking...
