With 5 subs they are all getting at least 30 mins a game. 

 

 

That’s the thing, this rule has changed the games slightly for us. We can push a stronger squad as more players can get game time.

Now all we need is them to match the World Cup with accurate added time and we can pretty much give the whole squad at least 45 minutes every game 🤣

Looking forward to Rousseau explaining the half 8 role to der Berliner as the season goes on.

Easy. Half 8 = 4 = Right Half.

No, no and, thrice no.

 

Half 8 is a pie with three bites out of it.

Half 8 means it's nearly time for supper.

Leaving Rousseau's addled line ups aside ...

 

... one of my first dictionaries of English was published in 1957 (fair city of Leipzig, deep in "commie land"), which is actually a picture dictionary. It has a neat draw of many a sports game and the football page gives you the goalkeeper, the right back and left back (either side of the penalty area), with centre half in the middle.  Ahead of him the right and left half, ahead of those the centre forward, flanked by the inside right and inside left, with the outside right / right winger and outside left / left winger on the touch lines. Those were the days, right?! On paper a clear 3-2-5 or perhaps 3-4-3, if you count the outside left and right guys a "midfielders". That's how we should approach most games in Scotland, anyway.
