Why do you think he did ?,you say no need, he saw a need, who’s to say why, maybe he was advised by his medical staff that those that played against wold benefit from 10 days recovery.
Or maybe he just like a laugh.

There's a lot of maybe's in there fella. :-|

It's plain & simple, I and several other fans must have Mystic Meg DNA, as we all feared Pep would do what he did on Saturday, & we'd end up losing.

How odd that this "MAYBE" coincided with the medical staff telling Pep NINE players had to rest, because they were too pooped to play any part in a potential title winning match? We play 3 matches a week, but some of our players couldn't possibly again. However, after a days less rest, Chelsea's players could????

I think the answer must be 'MAYBE' he like a laugh hey?

It's not splitting hairs. We rested our main players in a game we didn't need to win.
What's so difficult to understand about that?
Why did we have to wrap it up on Saturday?

Because it would have ended our domestic season leaving us mentally & physically free to totally concentrate on the CL final.

The match was there to be played & won if possible, so why not effectively wrap the season up when the opportunity presented itself? I don't see what you find so hard to understand about that.... :-|
 
There is one player who should NOT have started on Saturday and that was Ruben - he passed 4,000 minutes during the game - that is some statistic given it is a condensed season.
 
Aguero missed a silly penalty, we should have had one for Sterling and conceded 2 daft goals. It happens.

Chelsea still have 1 eye on top 4, 2 tough games against Leicester, FA Cup final and a derby against Arsenal. United have Leicester and Liverpool which is 3 games in 5 days against 2 teams fighting for top 4.

We should have put the league to bed, but we’ll likely have it wrapped up by the weekend, with plenty of time to prepare for the biggest game. The others have smaller squads with other things to concentrate on. Have faith blues, could be a treble in 3 weeks.

Mate, some people are going on like I & others should be put on suicide watch! Personally I'm not that invested in football to be honest, however I admit I'm pissed that we missed the opportunity to wrap up the PL ourselves on Saturday, & I believe we were the architects of our own downfall, because of a pointless line up & formation.

Yes, we're more likely to win the league than not, but that's not the point. I just wanted it over & done with, with our squad having 20+ days to rest, rotate & prepare for the CL final.

Question: If ManUre win tomorrow & Thursday, what team do we select for Newcastle on Friday?

If that scenario happens which is pretty likely, then we have to go full tilt v Newcastle. Get the job done then go from there!
 
If you make 8 or so changes against a top premier league team who have just reached the champions league final season then almost surely you are getting beat it’s simple as that . We did the same against Leeds and got beat by a top 10 league team so he did we think we his would be different and even if kun scored that penalty they would still have come at us in that second half . Pep made a mistake and there is nothing more really to say but I do think he has now given Chelsea the confidence to go out in that final and go for the win which could play in our hands . Genuine 50/50 cup final this is .

Rodri has become terrible as well. I would take Kante any day and sell both gundogun and rodri. Kante has more energy, he's more attacking, faster on the ball and cleverer than Gundogun and Rodri combined
