Why Lucas? Agree re Sanchez and Dier , pair of horrors.

Against the worst team in the league, I think we should rotate a little bit. Especially in December.
We can’t do that, the squad players are not good enough. Every time we try to rest players we get outplayed and have to put the big boys on to try and save us.
We will be forced to do that when the big boys started breaking from playing every december game (9 game in 1 month is quite a bit)
I think if we put out even close to the team we had in the euro match we would get beaten we have very little room for rotation if we want to beat anybody I'm afraid .
I fucking hate him. Erratic, unpredictable, ineffective thunder ball. Even the most basic passes are under or over hit, misplaced and or too late. He strangles our attacking play.
Decent 15 min sub but we won’t finish in the top 6 with that selfish shinehead starting games
The key is bringing in two squad players to a full strength side, not changing the entire 11 and expecting good football. Berg for Emerson, Gill for Lucas won’t weaken us (with Emerson or Tangana in for Sanchez in the back 3)
The problem is the that the drop offs are so large if we rotate.
I think Bergjwin for Lucas is about the safest change you could make. Tanganga for Sanchez maybe.
But beyond that once you start thinking of rotating wing backs or CMs it's too risky.
Careful, Delia might come after you with a rolling pin!
Them two, plus Reguilons uptick in performance (largely presentational dynamic, drive), shows that quickly a team we feel has 2 or 3 players, can become very good with just the right 2 or 3 replaced.
Very hopeful we see that same dynamic, but much quicker, that we did with Poch, where over 3-4months a set of players who best onboard Conte's philosophy will emerge as a consistent, all action, unit.
LETS BE AVING YA!!
...the perfect definition of: "It's a game of opinions!"
Gravy botherer.
I think from time to time resting the fullbacks or lucas ,since they do a lot of the sprinting ,is probably required.

Lest we forget it was Norwich at home (in the FA Cup) when Dier went in the crowd on FT... ironically, the last Spurs game before lockdown.
Today sounds like we'll be paying respects to at least 2 people during the match, I just wonder how many in the crowd THAT night never came back...?
Today feels like it should be for all of them too...
WE ARE TOTTENHAM, SUPER TOTTENHAM...

Title charge incoming?
Win the next 18, it's on.
(even then probably not as Pool and City look like winning 90%+ games).
There likely are reasons, doesn’t mean I agree with them.
Long term I don’t see him being an ideal option but until we can start bringing in new players he is a much better option than useless crap like Lucas and Wanks.
Because Lucas sucks.
It’s a good point though they are wing backs not full backs. Son is another sprinter and should be taken out every now and again
Centre backs etc just don’t need resting physically
We did not say that when he got a hatrick in the CL semi a while ago did we!
