This is an interesting point, of which I cannot say for certain.
From my seat, it seemed that the players took a long time talking to the bench when Kallstrom came on.
They were pointing and seemed uncertain as to where to play, how to line up.
I put this down to Kallstrom's reported lack of English, so being unable to instruct the players as he came on.
But It did make me wonder just how much the others knew about Kallstrom, that they did not appear to know where he would play and where they were supposed to play to accommodate his introduction.
I cannot criticise the players for checking with the bench over this, they needed to know and made sure they did so.
But it made me fear for the last ten minutes.
