To be fair, the theory behind the subs is spot on.
We just scored. Had huge momentum. Needed just one more goal. So straight away, you throw on two attacking players to build on that momentum, confuse the opposition (fresh players running at the defence) and get that extra goal.
Problem is, the players did not fulfill their job. Assaidi (sp?) put in a shift, but Shelvey was poor again. Combine that with the fact that we suddenly changed our game and sat back.. and well, the subs didn't work out.
Sterling was poor too. He has been for a while now. It's like he's forgotten how to get past a player, and his moves are sooo predictable.
