Never said Pirlo was injured, secondly Vucinic did not look match fit. It is up to him to analyze them and see for himself. Prandelli made the same mistake with Chiellini in the Euro 2012 final. Pirlo was jaded like this last season he can not play every week especially off the back of internationals we seen this last season.
Conte really has no clue about squad rotation, he was poor at it last season and it appears he hasn't learned from his mistakes. No point playing a half injured Vucinic and a tired Pirlo who came off 2 internationals. Why not rest them for Tuesday? I just dont understand it at all.

Rotation or not, our bench sucks since Caceres, Marchisio and Pepe are all injured. Who do you want to rotate with our starting 11 with? Peluso & Padoin?

Either that, or players like Caceres, Pogba, Giaccherini, Quagliarella, Peluso, Matri & others have somehow tampered with the minutes played stats that were reported.
Last year only 16 players reached 20 games. It seems too little to me. Someone should compare it with other big clubs to see if there is really a problem.

Well, in your 25 man squad (give or take), you had players like De Ceglie, Anelka, Bendtner, 2 sub keepers, an injured Pepe, Marrone & Padoin. Is it really necessary/possible for these guys to play 20+ games a season?
We give Conte credit when he deserves it. But theres no point in playing n injured vucinic and a tired Pirlo when having a CL game ahead. With Pirlo, well is more sensitive because our midfield sucks outside of our big players... but he had quags to play for vucinic, and decide to burn mirko instead
The players will say they are fit most of the time... and even they can feel fit, but the coach needs to go beyond that and analyze the situation properly.
