Although you maybe right, the logic presented doesn’t prove it one way or the other.
There’s every chance Lallana asked not to be considered, and who could blame him, we’re an utter shit show.
I’m guessing Lallana wasn’t interested in the job. But if he was…. and it came down to a decision between Tonda and Adam…. on what planet would the answer ever be Tonda??? It makes no sense and in these cases you’ve got to hope to fuck it was never a choice between the 2.
The whole substitution ceremony boils my piss. Such a needless bullshit disruptive time. Once the ref signals for the subs to come on; play should then restart no more than 10 seconds later. That will stop all the fake jogging and fucking shin pad adjusting as they leave the pitch.
