I see your point, but at the end of today, Chelsea are out of a cup, with numerous injuries coming out of the game. Duff's condition, whatever it turns out to be, was made worse by staying on the pitch. As Rob said, bringing on 3 players at half time, when its snowing and your playing against players who do have a tendency to be a bit reckless in their challenges at times, your just asking for trouble. While Ranieri was tactically inept against Monaco, Mourinho today was not only tactically inept, but showed a complete disregard for the welfare of his players, who he supposedly has a great relationship. Granted, there is a huge difference between the Champions League and the FA Cup (and I can't say much after what Rafa did) but today Mourinho made some truly awful decisions, and in my opinion, they were worse than Ranieri's.
