Agree with the sentiment, but as Poch said in his press conference, with 7 games in 21 days we will need to rotate.
Leicester next weekend is also important, and ideally we need to win that too.
So question is the degree of rotation. Maybe I'd suggest 3 players to rotate and rest for Leicester :
Davies for Rose
Ndombele for Winks
Dele for Lamela
I would keep Aurier, he needs games.
Sometimes it happens to us, sometimes it happens to other CL clubs. Let's just accept that without going full Scouse
We’ll thrash them 1-0
We ARE one of the big boys!!!!!!
We beat Palace 4-0 last Saturday what more do you lot want? That was about our 6th win in 23 or 24 odd games you ungrateful fuckers, I remember the 90’s and what I wouldn’t have given back then for that kind of return
That was the furthest thing from a 'good hard won point' I could possibly think of though mate, that is the problem. Some horrible individual and collective performances, very lucky to get the 2-0 lead and then just let it wash away, as we are seemingly becoming accustomed to.
We are playing consistently poor football, with the first half against Palace excluded, and seemingly nothing is changing. That is the worry.
Yep. We have become everything we profess to hate about other clubs.
All we need is a TFTV channel on YouTube and the transformation is complete.
They not just complaining about the performances in the CL - there is a trend going back nearly a year now.
The notion that we should be content simply because we are in the CL when there is clear regression across all areas of the playing side is simply absurd.
Yes, we haven't managed a clean sheet for 4 days now.
He's not strong enough to make a starting XI when you compare the rest of our attacking players. It's harsh for Lucas but would you really pick him over Sonny?
Sonny is the better footballer, Lucas will have to accept that for the time bein, knuckle down and do what he needs to do to change the managers mind. Excellent squad player and signing it as it stands I see him offering quality rotation and depth. He should have got 45 minutes yesterday though, no need to not switch it about a little 4-0 up at home.
No, but there's plenty who would shoehorn him in ahead of Lamela or Eriksen!
Maybe that's the point... we've been waiting for SO long to have a bench full of players who could easily start the game.... not just make up the numbers.
Look at our bench on Saturday:
- 12 Wanyama
- 15 Dier
- 20 Alli
- 22 Gazzaniga
- 27 Lucas Moura
- 28 Ndombele
- 33 Davies
Olympiakos are not that great, but they get to play against one of last season's CL finalists and are the underdogs. So they will surely be up for it. Important that we don't underestimate them.
Neither were "injured" when we bought them....
Ndombele scored against Villa on opening day....
Lo Celso played three times before getting injured on int. break.
Pay attention, fella.

As a descendent of Greek immigrants, let me be the first to say that they are a mighty people, and a people who know the greatness of Spurs, and a club that stands no fucking chance against Tottenham.

may say 1-7. I say 0-10. Kane with a double hat trick, Lucas with a hat trick, and Lloris with a worldie.
