Good players starting on the bench, on at HT

I have very much enjoyed the way Clement has been doing this since he arrived, and it definitely works. It means that the opposition are tired by the time our good players come on and we probably give them a false sense of security, so they are shell shocked when we turn into peak Barcelona every second half.

My fear is that he has only been doing this because Paris is deemed not fit enough to play 90 minutes and next season the strategy will be ditched and we will start with our strongest team and the likes of Springett and Gibbs will not get a look in.
