It's like you've joined in half way through the conversation.
It's not similar, because the subs McD has available are not in the same class as Man U's. He doesn't have the luxury of dragging off one superstar and replacing him with another.
I don't think McD is mastering substitutions right now, but I'm not going to beat him with a sock filled with nothing but fantasy.
The relative class is what's important. Not the comparative class.
Smalling and Jones are relatively close to Raphael in quality. Cummings and Gunter (last season Griffin, Mullins etc) are all similar quality to each other - just as an example for right back. The same applies all over our squad and has done whilst McDermott's been here. And McDermott's time here has not mostly been spent in the Premier League, so we've largely had players of similar quality to the opposition as well.
Raphael is far from a superstar in Man Utds terms, exactly the same as Cummings (and most of our players) in our terms.
You're normally smarter than this. Just be outlandishly offensive at me, it seems its all you've got to offer on this subject.
You talk in the same way an old man shits himself, sputtering hot air blended with worthless residue, oozing out with little perceivable effort, encouraged only by scatological perverts and the mentally handicapped who think a fart is a day out.
Of course the comparative class is important. If Fergie has two 4 star dudes to pick from, and dude A is shambling out a 0 star performance , he knows dude B can improve f/cktastically on that.
If we have 2 star Gunter falling over his own breath, well – that’s 2 star f/cking players for you. What is the point in bringing on 2 star Cummings?
Plus, Reading are a team who need every one of their substitutions in order to compete; wasting one on swapping like-for-like after 20 minutes isn’t going to be high up the agenda for any manager that doesn’t have 10 million quid players sat on his bench.
Rafael was having an absolute rapemare. The increase in class available from his bench made that substitution far easier than anything we are ever going to deal with in which case your chosen weapon to bash McD with is imaginary. You might as well be pointing two fingers at him and going “Pkew! Pkew!” ya f/ckin’ breakdown.
