I was under the impression that it would be around for the next season, at least. Thereafter, I cannot see a return.
I’m not suggesting that the same defenders be rotated each game, simply stating that the new rule and circumstances on the pitch could afford Guardiola that luxury.
You are right, there are certain positions that demand more. Similarly, the new rule will allow opponents to add more energy where it is required, so we would need to match that, hence my saying we need to be ruthless in the first half.
I reckon that more than ever it’s going to be a squad sport and that measuring players by starts and games played will become a thing of the past.
It was brought in for the hot would cups and reintroduced for the restart after concerns over injuries due to match fitness, it is a shitty idea 4 quarters made for the tv`s to get advertising in, SKY loves it, but managers do not i am led to believe, especially Pep, no point in working the opposition if they are going to get a break every 20 minutes, there is an option to extend until next year and as you say if they do that it will continue, but there is a vote at the end of the season, i think most are going to vote against
