This all day long. Pep doesn't sub players who make one off mistakes.
He subbed Henry at halftime at Barca, after he scored a goal, because he didn't work to the plan.
1 thing pep does do is hook players who do not do what they are told.
I don't know if that really was the reason for him being subbed, but I was fuming with him! He should be very aware of how tight the title fight has been the last couple of seasons, where ONE point, even goal difference could play a deciding part. No time for fooling around, make the pass = guaranteed goal.No, they will be drilled in training about these scenarios. That attack isn't end up like that through luck. The players are arriving at the points they are instructed to.
Phil will have been told to square the pass on every occasion. Square pass = 100% goal for Haaland.
Phil was rightly hooked at half time. Now he will learn.
You have just listed all the reasons why pep would have subbed him for not making the pass.I don't know if that really was the reason for him being subbed, but I was fuming with him!

And it would be fantastic for Haaland to continue to build up his confidence and moral, by scoring, opponents will work even harder to control him when thy know he scores as soon as he gets a sniff at it.
I hope Pep had a serious talk with Phil.
The reasons why I and many of us would have like to seen him subbed, yes, - however we do not know for sure this was what caused Pep's decision.You have just listed all the reasons why pep would have subbed him for not making the pass.
It's very rare Pep makes a halftime sub unless injury is involved.The reasons why I and many of us would have like to seen him subbed, yes, - however we do not know for sure this was what caused Pep's decision.
I think so though.
Think he was right to take the shot on, but he should have scored its as simple as thatI don't know if that really was the reason for him being subbed, but I was fuming with him!
