Whenever he makes substitutions in "big" matches, he makes things worse. It's a consistent pattern, check it out!
Against Benfica, the game was kind of even until he made his substitutions. Bar?a even had a few chances to at least equalize.
But the subs triggered a big collapse.
It's almost as he treats every big game as a laboratory experiment, where he suddenly decides to try something new after 60 or so minutes.
He seems to consider himself as great tactition who introduces drastic changes to save a game. However, the effect is usually the opposite, the intended "save" is turning into a disaster.
Then he blames the outcome on the players who were unable to execute his bold ideas.
What he will have done well is to give all those young players a chance. However, most were not ready, at least not for the big stage.
True. His mastermind tactic was throwing every attacker on pitch.
