This is a shame, Holebas is a dreadful defender. We would have got a lot of change out of him.

Maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling something is going on behind the scenes?
Carroll keeps getting the nod ahead of him and now he doesn't make the bench.
Maybe it's just all in my head - he has just come back from a lengthily lay off through injury, after all...
Trippier
:walker:
:walker:
Length of injury plus awful form before injury. Bentaleb was showing typical signs of someone who feels he is better and bigger than he actually he is. I have a feeling Pochettino doesn't respond well to players like that. I hope I'm wrong of course because Bentaleb showed last season he could potentially be a pretty good footballer but he's a far way off it.
drop walker for 1 game incase he gets a ban to.....
miss 1 game.
makes perfect sense!
glad we dropped him for a game so he doesnt end up missing a game.
That game would be Everton, we will really need him there
Eriksen as an impact sub around 60th min could prove more effective. I'm still uncertain Carroll can dominate games in the PL
i dont know. maybe i have to much faith in our players to go 1 game without a booking.
The three behind Kane look a bit lopsided to me.
Unless Denbele is more advanced and Carroll is deep next to dier. That didn't work vs Newcastle though so would be worried if that was the case.
Thought son would start but when you look at it, poch probably sees him more as a striker replacement for Kane in this one so make sense not to start him?

Alli looked really good against Southampton when he went out wide and even scored his goal from that very position. He even spent quite a while out on the left against Norwich on Saturday too. We've also seen Dembele have great games out wide too, he started the season there after all. Wouldn't surprise that at our most fluid today we end up seeing this in attack:
Kane
Alli - Dembele - Lamela
Carroll - Dier
big difference coming on at home when u are 2-0 up.
compared to starting away at watford.
he was bullied against newcastle
Didn't we lose and concede two goals when we actually took Carroll off against Newcastle?
Surely he's better than Mason? Say we want to sub off Dembele or Dier, I'd rather replace them with Bentaleb than Mason.
Quite surprised to see Carroll in the starting XI but he must've done something right to get ahead of Mason, Bentaleb etc. Must work hard and the few games he played in lately he started to show a confidence and audacity that was lacking before, seems to cope a bit better with the physicality of pro football too. Still think he needs to do some serious bulking if he wants to succeed as a top level player. He must be the tiniest midfielder in the league
I wouldn't say he's better than Mason and from what I've seen from either player this season, which due to injuries hasn't been alot, Mason is a much better option.
Our bench is fucking strong though
