The perverse thing is, if our plan really is to run more than anyone else in the Prem, even with midweek Euro games, we should maximise subs e.g. bring on 4 men at 60 minutes, to maximise the spread of hard yards, with 1 sub left for contingencies.
But we don't. Ange flogs players with very little rest, until they pop.
Bringing someone on at 80+ is not helping to rest key players.

For me it is better to play a key player 60 minutes x 20 games, rather than make him play 100 minutes in 5 games, then injured for 15 games.

Look at Liverpool. Watching them play I was wondering how their press is so consistent and effective. From that graph it seems either the system they play allows it to be a ‘compressed’ or positional press. So they sprint quite a lot but not long distances or situational press, ie they only press in certain circumstances.

Either way, that seems an infinitely more sustainable, efficient and effective way to play - with room to ask a bit more from your players on occasion.

Seems sensible to me.

Also helps they had a mostly fit squad all season
Parley because of how he manages them too. He does a lot of rotational subs around 60 mins (slott)
But he can do that because they have a well developed squad
