[Football] 9 substitutes on the bench this season in PL

What?

Scherpen out with ankle injury.

Agreed. I found this really odd last season when they voted for this but not for five subs being allowed on. It seemed a very odd middle ground which doesn't really benefit anyone.

For me you should either have seven subs and you can bring on three or nine and you can use five of them

I hope we'll never see that again. Only real negative with the Euros this summer was that the 8, 9 or 10 substitution interruptions every game ruined a lot of second halfs.

Bringing subs on with 2 minutes to go to give him 'some minutes' should be looked at too, just a disruptive time wasting exercise that even if the ref adds on a bit of added on time.

But can the Amex be expanded for the bigger bench?
