The bench vs Palace

[Spursindevon]

Did today's bench against Palace portray a lack of squad depth and potential worry or a healthy future with lots of youth players coming through the system? (I know we have a few players to come back)

Very healthy future, in my opinion. COYS

Soon we'll have Dembele, Son, Njie/Nkoudou and Wimmer all back and our bench would look a lot stronger. I think when everyones fighting fit and our best team is out, our bench would look a lot better:

Vorm, Wimmer, Davies, Wanyama, Son, Edwards, Janssen.

It was a very weak bench, that didnt inspire confidence of being able to change a game.

Yet we won once Dele came on. How strange...

Almost immediately as well

Our bench is weak because our first XI is under strength at the moment...
It felt like at times last season we had 2 players for every position...
Now I'd say we have a strong enough 18-man squad when everyone is fit... but no more than that.

Bentaleb and Mason don't seem to he in Poch's plans... N'Jie is most probably off... and until or unless we find/buy SOME CM/AM replacements, it will feel like we're short in that department.

I think it represents the only sustainable future for a club that isn't financial doping.

Play motivated young players as opposed to the mercenaries that are floating around.

Sell them once/if they get too big for their boots and repeat.

If spending millions won't guarantee success then why do it? Invest that money in the club in other ways and for long term stability.

The fact that we can bench s player like dele and not look weak is also promising
