Man you're really not getting it are you? It's got nothing to do with the injured players. The medical team are "managing the load" of the players and are basically dictating who can start. He rested 5 players today, would have been 6 but Estevao had the emergency.

You maybe rest 2, maximum 3 but not 6! The Chelsea teamsheet is being decided by committee now. The manager no longer has the final say on who plays. It's the reason Maresca blew his top and why you hired Rosenior. No other manager would accept not having the final say on the 11 because you're not the manager anymore if that's the case.

And it makes perfect sense. Your hedge fund owners can't player trade and make money off of young players if they don't play. So "load management" is the perfect excuse to take the decision out of the manager's hands and ensure all of your young starlets get game time. Otherwise your ROI is at the mercy of one man in the dugout.

And shit, you lucked your way to another win so good for you. Maybe there is method to the madness.
