Saka and Rice were being protected for the final IMO. Rice recovering from illness and has a back issue and Saka clearly has a recurring niggle so minutes being managed.

Tuchel doesn't care much if they go back to Arsenal a bit dented, not his problem so could afford to throw caution to the wind last night, nothing to save them for.

And Rice was clearly almost out of gas before the hour mark.

Elite athletes need a rest, especially high energy players like wingers, full-backs and midfielders who cover the most ground. You cant sustain those levels 365. There are a lot of PL players who haven't had a break and will have muscular problems and injuries and need time out.
