Hard to make sense of Ancelotti’s subs

SO what if wasn’t the most convincing win?

The three points were very welcome whichever way they came about. Ancelotti, too, looked relieved which was good to see given his recent run of stoney-faced misery.

That said, I still don’t understand Ancelotti’s substitutions and the treatment of Sturridge in particular. At 1-0, and given our recent run, I could understand the manager’s reluctance to put the youngsters on.
