what is the worst substitution in all time?

what is the worst substitution in all time?

or the worst/shocking substitution you ever seen?

give your opinion

Almost all substitutions made and not made by LvG deserves a shout. He was the master of shit substitutions.

I get a feeling this has something to do with Riquelme's substitution against Germany in 06

i'm still want to hear other story

but i agree that part give me an idea

In recent memory, THE Tim Sherwood decided to bring on two strikers after gaining a 0-2 lead against Leicester. Aston Villa went on to lose the game 3-2.

A funny - but not completely unreasonable one - was Mourinho's famous substitions in his first Chelsea stint. Wayne Bridge got shortly injured after Mou used all three of his subs, all at the same time and then later Cech got himself sent off so Chelsea went on to play with 9 men and Glen Johnson as the keeper.

Morata off for Mandzukic away to Bayern last year was terrible. I know why he did it, but we probably would have won the game without that sub.

No you wouldn't have. We were just giving you a headstart

Stevie was red carded against United within 20 seconds of coming on in the second half under Rodgers

Messi for Deco in 2003

Wenger subbing in Flamini against Barca in their recent clash

Muntari gets subbed in, he commits right away a foul and gets yellow carded, then stops the free kick he caused with his hand and the referee grants a penalty and a second yellow card. All in the glorious effective game time of 5 seconds

That Muntari one is legendary Mourinho's face

Adebayor in El Clasico where Mourinho only sent him to foul Messi and Iniesta

love these kind of substitutes at a different level tho.

How can you tell it's him?

who the hell cares

Hans, sigh. Typical Germans.

Um, not so much an all time but just a general annoyance. Rafa led Madrid leading 1-0 away to Atletico with them not having any real options on either flank to exploit. Rafa brings in Arby I think in the last ten minutes and all of a sudden, Atletico have that avenue to attacked (which they did) and scored an equaliser with him being the main AND only culprit for it.

that was the substitution i instantly remembered. he brings in arbeloa, and arbeloa being the traffic cone he is messes up and we concede......but because he talks to the media about how much he loves madrid and hates our rivals, people have given him legendary status, smh

i think the tag of 'worst substitution' has to be because the substitute coming in messed up; not based on the hypothetical scenario that "if player x stayed in, the team would not have lost", i say that because we don't know....and besides, player x may have been tired as well and cost his team the game regardless

matthaus substitution in 99, utd may have won that title with him still being on the field, we never know...that was utd's year and the stars just lined up for them perfectly, things just seemed to go right for them in the epl, fa cup ;bergkamp missing that penalty, keane's red and the champs league
