Is anyone else wondering if Yallop's lack of subs is causing some of the injury woes we face? We have played more games then any other MLS team WITHOUT making a single sub. Not only that, but when we do make a sub, it's usually very late in the match. Since so many of the West teams are weak this year, how about Yallop "rotating" the lineup around during the middle of the season? Start Alvarez, Roner, Walker, whomever at some games and rest the key guys a little bit. If we lose, so be it. If our key guys are beat up and tired by the end of the season, we're done in the playoffs. Just how much did we miss Mulrooney last year?
I'll tell you that, in my opinion, if he doesn't start subbing more, he is not going to create the kind of depth that is needed. Today was a good example. You may be right, also, about the lack of subbing leading to injuries.
