What is the point in running out Grealish for 90 seconds?
Giving Rashford a few minutes?
He didnt make his first subs until the 80th minute. Make some of those changes and some more forward-thinking changes at 65 minutes and those players can actually grow into and influence the game.

Sure but they created a penalty soon after half and I assume many wanted changes at half but Saka and Henderson created that one. And after those subs, still created a penalty in 83rd minute.
