Re: Your Use Of Substitutes Is Rotten Mixu..

Even if you don't agree on subs, surely there was a definite call to change the shape. Can anyone remember any match where Mixu has actually changed the formation during the game? (Not being sarky, genuinely can't remember.)

Think that's been the biggest contrast with the JC era. Collins fiddled about with the team during games like he was on crystal meth. It worked in some games, it didn't work in others, but at least you felt there was going to be a change if it wasn't working. At times the changes were probably done too much and the players never settled into any of the systems getting played.
There's something to be said for both approaches. If players are training all week knowing how they'll be playing on a Saturday it is bound to make them comfy with the system and knowing their jobs. But it leaves you a bit fucked if they then can't adapt to play any other way. The JC system was to get the most amount of flexibility possible, but it did take players away from playing in positions they were comfy at.
