It’s not rocket science, all these so called “supersubs” are effective later on in the game when the opposition are physically and mentally tired.
Plainly if they played from the start, they would tire at the same rate the opposition do, therefore making them less effective over the full 90 mins.
Players like Agureo and Tevez are equally effective used as subs, but also happen to have the energy to play 90 mins and still be better than the defences they play against most of the time, which is why they get most starts.
Rather than feel hard done to for being played at the end of matches, these players ought to recognise they are being given a massive advantage in the goal-scoring stakes above their more hard grafting colleagues.
