Well, I'll make a suggestion

despite the unpleasant sneering tone of your post. Either Elmander or Becchio could have replaced Hooper. Or one of them for Hooper and the other for Snodgrass, who I thought had a disappointing game.

This would have meant that we had changed our shape and approach, and we might have competed more physically in the last 20 minutes. It might not have worked but it would have represented an attempt to alter the course of the second half.

        I think the standard response is "He signed 'em" (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 28, 23:50:03

        no, like any squad it is evolving, players have contracts, budgets are limited (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Dec 28, 23:57:27
        
        Duh... we all know this. It's his squad, he is the manager. The responsibility is his. (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 29, 00:02:04

      - So replacing Hooper for RVW was a perfectly acceptable change in your eyes? (NCFC) - Arganth, Dec 28, 23:57:06
        
        See my recent post below. (NCFC) - BillySteele, Dec 29, 00:00:43
        
        OK. Peace. (n/m) (NCFC) - Arganth, Dec 29, 00:05:33
        
        Peace. And hope we win at Palace. (n/m) (NCFC) - BillySteele, Dec 29, 00:07:14
    - The point he is making is quite clear (NCFC) - norway, Dec 28, 23:46:45
      - The point I'm making is also quite clear. (NCFC) - Arganth, Dec 28, 23:51:54
        
        In response to that.. (NCFC) - BillySteele, Dec 28, 23:58:31
        
        You have to ignore the Hooper substitution (NCFC) - norway, Dec 28, 23:58:04
        
        Oh very much so, but why use then use the RVW/Hooper example? (NCFC) - Arganth, Dec 28, 23:59:40
        
        You're clutching at straws now. (n/m) (NCFC) - BillySteele, Dec 29, 00:02:54
        
        double sub I suppose, but can't complain at taking off an injured Hooper (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 28, 23:53:01
        
        Indeed. (n/m) (NCFC) - norway, Dec 28, 23:58:22
  - That's another thing - "depleted ManU side". What about our team, minus Tettey, Howson, (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Dec 28, 23:20:46
    - Perhaps you could just calm down? (NCFC) - norway, Dec 28, 23:36:11
    - Yes. It made me cross hearing some fans automatically booing the Hooper sub (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Dec 28, 23:22:34
      - Hooper was injured anyway (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Dec 28, 23:24:13
        
        Precisely. But I would bet that you hadn't spotted that before you saw him go down the (NCFC) - Higher Wrather, Dec 28, 23:35:44
