Sorry but that's BS. You don't continue playing if the pain is effecting your game and your team still has subs available - you only do that if all subs have been used.
Anyway I think it's just an excuse for another dire performance. He didn't help anyone by staying on and we had several options on the bench.
Alli doesn’t get to make that call..the manager does.
He should do his best and try and run it off, until he's taken off.
If he gave up and we lost people would be criticising his weak mentality and that he doesn’t care enough, so he can’t win.
Everyone can see he’s not playing well, but he put his body on the line, so why not get behind him?!
Christ, this thread is like the vortex where all positivity and optimism gets sucked out of the universe!!
