Matic makes way for Remy

Match: Chelsea vs Southampton

Tournament: Barclays Premier League 2015/16)

Substitution Order : Ramires → Nemanja Matic → Loic Remy

At this stage of the season, the once-mighty defending champions were in free fall to the bottom half of the Premier League table. The then Blues manager Jose Mourinho’s tactical moves every move were being severely questioned and scrutinized by the voracious English media. One such move was subbing a booked Ramires off at half-time when Chelsea were drawing 1-1 to Southampton at Stamford Bridge

His replacement Nemanja Matic was a shadow of himself from the previous season’s title-winning team. After Matic’s introduction, Southampton went 1-3 ahead, with goals from Sadio Mane and Graziano Pelle. With Chelsea desperately in need of something from the game, Mourinho took off his worst player on the pitch and replaced him with Loic Remy. The game still finished 1-3 to the Saints.
