It is because Mourinho does not have a long term plan. He does not look at his squad and thinks about developing anybody or thinking about how he could need this or that player in a particular situation late in the season.
If game 1 is ahead, he wants to win game 1. Then comes game 2 and so on. That is my impression at least.
He does not care if a 20 year old needs playing time to maybe become a world class player at 25. If Mou is not sure about him filling in the role he wants, he will play a 33 year old guy instead.
Unless you are a big guy with lots of muscle and can play DM or CB.
