It was plain stupidity for the Premier League to vote against 5 subs per game!
By the sounds of it, it was the smaller clubs that voted against it as they thought it favoured the clubs with bigger budgets, hence them having more quality players on the bench.I think it was Burnley that didn't have a full bench during the previous lockdown and another club had two goalkeeper to make up the numbers.

As a Saints fan I’m glad they voted against it. My personal opinion is that Liverpool, Man Utd Man City can bring on a £40m player as their 5th sub. My team cannot get close to doing that. In this case it favours the teams with more money and widens the gap. The jiffle king said:

So what do you do, when you get a similar number of injuries because you can't now rest players or take them off often enough? You're still down to those reserves but they're having to play more games and longer minutes. These muscle injuries aren't going to limit themselves to the top level clubs.The jiffle king said:

Agreed.It’s our fault we have a CB problem (well and that idiot Pickford), we sold Lovren so now we need Williams to step up and take his chance. I hope he can.

In this case it favours the teams with more money and widens the gap. In fact, I would argue that it favours smaller clubs. Smaller clubs still have a lot of fixtures this season due to the domestic cups, and smaller clubs are going to struggle more if/when their best players start picking up injuries.

Get out of jail penalty.
I would say quite soft, but can see why it is given. I thought we've been looking pretty decent - just hard to get past them packing their 1/3 of the pitch. Alisson a bit unlucky to have been unsighted for the goal otherwise he'd have kept it out. Both players slide in for the ball, as they should
Keeper dives in to smother as he should, even if Mane connects with the keeper it’s not a foul for me, Mane has every right to stretch for the ball and keepers are over-protected
Couldn’t see the foul on the defender either to be honest
