How did Frank Lampard play in his 65 minutes today? (Tom makes a great point above about a DP not going a full 90 but I imagine the speed of play is higher in the EPL than MLS which factors into the decision to take him off; moreover, Man City has better bench options than does NYCFC).
It is a good point. More often than not both Silva and Aguero are taken off with 15-20 minutes left. When the team is comfortably in front, makes sense that the subs have a run, the fitness of the guy being replaced is rarely considered.
