Pep’s got loads of plans. It goes to about F, G and H.
Yesterday his substitutions ensured we didn’t lose the game in which we were being very much outplayed in.
Bernardo came on and made Torres Mahrez Sterling Foden and deBruyne look like idiots for the way they were playing, as he brought some energy, determination, pressing, dribbling and most of all quality to our attack.
Fernandinho and Ake sured up the spaces where Rodri was too slow to cover and our full back weren’t making up for Rodri’s slowness.
Those changes absolutely stopped us losing as that game was heading one way before they happened. It was only a matter of time.
