There's a lot to be said for keeping your best players on the bench and then introducing them in the second half to really disrupt the rhythm and win the game there and then when opposition players tire and your best are fully fresh. Worked for Jürgen against Stoke when he brought Firmino and Coutinho on. Of course it means keeping the match close when you get to that pivot point point but it can really upset the opposition. I wonder why managers don't do it more.
