I trust in what ever decision Ole chooses for this game.
The coaching staff will look at their data, they will talk with the players, Ole's presser not only informs the outside world what Ole thinks about the importance of the FA Cup and winning a trophy, but more importantly it is priming our players of the importance of it!
The little cavets and naunces Ole is dropping here and there are not by chance, having played and studied with SAF Ole is putting all this knowledge to good use, it takes a certain level of inteligence to understand this and Ole is definately showing/has shown sign that he get it.
Would be very very suprised if he completely changed the starting 11 irrespective of all the opinions people have given in this thread.
That there has been "a notable downturn in performance" because of fatigue/tiredness is completely subjective.
Feels really strange to be having to point this out but football is like this, no team is ever performing close to 100% game after game after game.
The players are human beings not robots, that fatigue/tiredness
may play a role and could have played a role i get it, but we are all looking from the outside in.
And I think people are way overplaying how good this Chelsea team is, irrespective of the result, some peeps are making them out to be alot better than they are......
