Yeah. But the quality of the players Man City bring on will be far superior to the replacements Norwich can. So their chance of victory will be increased.
Didn't Man. City make 0 changes when they drew 0-0 at Palace recently?
This was also their bench v us in December:
Zach Steffen, Scott Carson, Luke Mbete, Cole Palmer, James McAtee, Romeo Lavia, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Foden and Grealish.
Grealish was only sub they made that night and he came on right at the end. So yes Man. City can make 5 subs when 3 or 4 up v Burnley but Pep wasn't exacly going to throw on half the youth team especially as they were clinging on a bit.
Whereas that night we had Jacob Ramsey and El Ghazi as unused subs and either may have scored if we'd had 5 subs.
You look at the bench Arsenal had the other week aswell and it's not like that was overflowing with top quality players either.
I think this should benefit us next season as we really need to give more minutes to Carney, Archer, Kesler and JPB so this should really benefit as most managers use the 5 subs to just take FBs off after 70 minutes so some games could start Kesler and bring on Cash for example.
Man City yesterday had Mahrez, Fernandinho, Jesus, Silva, Stones, Zinchenko on the bench.
Liverpool had Mane, Diaz, Fabinho, Milner, TAA, and Oxlade Chamberlain
Chelsea, Lukaku, James, Jorghino, Kovacic and Christenson
We had Young, Luiz, Buendia, Traore, Chambers.
I know whose subs would be able to improve their team more. Even Man Utd had Rashford, Matic, Lingard, Mata and Wan Bissaka.
