Kinnear Explains Bizarre Substitution!

Last updated : 07 October 2008 By Footy Mad - Editor
Everton were leading 2-0 and all hell was breaking loose down United's right flank as Steven Taylor and Geremi were struggling to stem the tide of attacks.

It was hard to understand who was playing right back, with Taylor drifting out of position and Geremi drawn to the corner flag more and more as the first half went on.

Coloccini and Cacapa were struggling, and only Enrique seemed to be holding his own.

Then came the substitution, and Kinnear said he made it because the Spaniard seemed to be struggling with an injury.
 
So much so, he is hoping he got Enrique off the pitch in time before he suffered a recurrence of the hamstring problem which kept him out for more than a month.

The switch may have got him in more trouble with the Football Association, because he left his seat in the stands (because his mobile phone could not get a signal) to shout from the dug out ... and he was serving a two-match ban.
