I think if we were winning comfortably then he wouldve played, but given it was 1-0 going into injury time then bringing on a striker, instead of a defender was 100% the right thing to do. Its harsh on him, but they were there to do a job and to try to get a result, not just roll over for Ashley Young.blueToffee wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2025 10:10 pm Not subbing on Ashley Young's kid was really a bit mental too.
Really couldn't have given him a couple of minutes at the end?
I dont know for definite, but I think they said he had only played 1 game this season, so its wasnt a given, and I bet the players that did come on may never get the opportunity to play at somewhere like Goodison again, and they probably deserved it more.
