banduan Then he starts v Port Vale and you get the same stuff you've always had before. Had he come on second half you could guarantee he gets a goal.
There is a difference between coming on as a sub when we're losing, desperate and throwing caution to the wind vs starting and sticking to the ControlBall™ plan whilst level or in the lead.
In the latter it's clear the LW is instructed to hug the touchline and stay there as usual, whereas in the former the players have a bit more freedom to leave their outposts to bring us back from behind.
