[QUOTE="Larksea, post: 863315, member: 43875"] I can see some logic behind it as well. Mainly that SBW is such a key player on defense that with him missing it leaves a hole and a relatively inexperienced player (ALB) as the only midfielder. But I still think it was bad decision, with only 1/4 of the match gone they should have backed the guys on the field and given them some direction on how to cover, at least for 10min or so to see how it would play out. The big thing is that with a man down for so long it means the players there have to work extra hard to make up for it. And as I said having 2 guys sitting on the sideline fresh unable to play any role in the game basically meant at that point not only was the on field numbers reduced to 14 but the team went from 23 to 21 I think I would have sent world down to Kaino that he would be subbed early and ask him to put a big 20min in, sub him at half time or at the 50min mark. also consider that Laumape played on tuesday, tough ask to bring him on early.
