    Gayle and Ritchie both did!
    Did they really?
    Where can I find that?

    Not without going back in time and seeing the signals to the bench.

    I watched the entire game and saw no signals to the bench.

    when Rafa explained after the match why he took them off.

    Gayle was feeling his hamstring and told them it was tight.
    Ritchie had cramp.
    kenedy still doesn't have 90 mins in him.

    Aye they may have told Rafa this later but they made no gesture towards the bench to take them off.
    I watched Gayle look peed right off most likely because he knew he had a chance of a hat trick.

    I could believe Ritchie had a bit of cramp but again he didn't show it.
    Kenedy didn't just look unfit (for some strange reason) he looked half interested for half of the game and even had to be bullied into taking the corner.

    Shelvey, it appears is injured and it makes sense as to why his challenges left him holding his knees. Maybe he was injured at that time.
    The issue is, did he have the injury before the first challenge and inability to catch his man or was he spent of energy or was he playing lazy?

    I'd say an injury or energy spent because the lad grafted his nuts off.

    As for Kenedy, he better not be a flash in the pan.
