There's no need for five outfield players to be on the bench. When Souza's horrible mistake ended up with Muller laid out, it could have been much worse for us. Thankfully he was alright.
There was a thread about this a few days ago and... ...surprisingly, it appeared that not once last season did having a keeper on the bench prove useful! I think there were two matches where the keeper had to come off and on both those occasions Barnsley went on to lose anyway. Plus, it's a little known fact that Campbell-Ryce is an international class goalie.
I felt a little bit sick when Muller went down yesterday. He didn't move and I was thinking here we go.
