That tactics of Pep Guardiola have come under fire after Man City's breathless Champions League tie in Real Madrid.
Things stand at 1-1 after the first leg of the semi final, with City's confident start undone 36 minutes in when Vinicius Jnr blasted a stunning strike into the top corner from 25 yards out. Midway through the second half, though, an equally sublime long range effort from Kevin de Bruyne levelled matters, leaving things perfectly poised going into the second led at The Etihad next Wednesday.
But despite the intensity and pace of the contest, Guardiola opted not to make any subs over the 90 minutes. And that's despite the likes of Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez being poised to make an impact off the bench.
