Honestly... I know it was probably not on purpose (this time), but the Merino sub really lifted the team and we started playing more aggressively. I wouldn't be surprised if Mikel continues this trend: use players like Sterling, Rice, Odegaard, as workhorses to tire the opposition, then strategically sub on Merino during the second half depending on the gamestate.

Speaking of which - poor Declan. I understand the man's a physical freak in terms of his recovery and athleticism, but he has to be close to the red zone, surely. Maybe in addition to the above idea, we start with Jorginho to keep the tempo and defend?
