I said it before the Cardiff game we aren't rotating enough. At some point I fear fatigue will set in and the wheels will start falling off.
It's only Ramsey, Özil, Koscielny, Ches and BFG that have played all our recent games and the first two haven't played all 90 minutes either. I'm not sure how much more rotation we can hope to get away with. It's hardly like Man City are giving much rest to their best players, nor Chelsea and if their squads were so much better, that is not what they would be doing.
