The best thing Pochettino did yesterday, aside from bringing on N'Koudou was to keep Llorente on the pitch.
Would have destroyed the bloke had he been taken off.
That sounds a lot better after winning though....

What exactly does he do in training every day then. Surely fit enough. He is simply rubbish at this or most levels of football.
Lamela was poor....Id still play him ahead of Llorente though
Other than the assist, I dont Eriksen was much better
People are mixing up training sharpness with match sharpness. You can run practice drills all you want and play friendly five asides with the team but few things can substitute the sharpness created by locking horns with actual opposition players.He will definitely be better next game.
The odd thing is, that when we signed him, I genuinely thought he was that second quality striker & the best we could get that might not expect to start all the time. He has a very good career record and is hardly on his last legs as a pro.
He’s either not showing it in training, or Poch has a blind spot when it comes to Kane. The irony is, that whilst Kane is a goal machine & a world class talent, the odd 15-20 minutes rest, even maybe starting him on the bench, may help manage Kane’s ankle issues, whilst keeping Llorente sharp enough to put the ball in at the right end a few times a season. I really hope that game helped him shake off the ring rust and he is up and ready to terrorise the chavs on Thursday.
Janssen, GKN and Llorente all struggled when they first were played in the first team and that is why they got little playing time after that. Had Llorente scored in a Premiership match as a sub when we first bought him then he would have played more but he did not look good then. I agree he should have come on more often when we had matches won but the problem with that is if the match is won, we play procession football to see the match out. Yes it will save Kane's legs but not do Llorente any good as he will not get any service.
As to the future, with Dele now injured he will have to play against Chelsea and Palace and hopefully has the fitness to play 3 games in a week.
Well IF that happened, Kane would be fit now.If Llorente got 15-10 minutes every other game whislt Kane was fit, he would be much more ready to deputise now.
win win all around thenWell IF that happened, Kane would be fit now.
