OK, intelligent people. Can you possibly tell me the bloody difference between these, as they all seem pretty similar?

Serge Aurier (hamstring) - final stages of conditioning

Erik Lamela (hamstring) - continuing on-field rehab

Need to win this. It feels more important than the Ajax game right now I hope the players see it that way.

To go into the last game needing something from it would be too much for me to take atm. The idea that arsenal or manu catch us on the last day is scary. Im travelling over for Everton and want to enjoy the trip without the stress or possible ridicule.

We need to shaft Lamela imo. I think I have seen him play twice in the last 5 years

Was trying to work that out too. As a guess, Aurier is regaining his fitness, Kane is doing indoor rehabilitation (gym) that may involve certain exercises and use of resistance machinery in maybe regaining the strength in his muscles and particularly ankle and Lamela is doing more football based drills as part of his rehab out on the pitch.

That really is just a guess though and I'm certainly not 100% sure!

Any thoughts on this bold approach...?

Spurs should not take Bournemouth seriously
(Guardian's Weekend preview)

Mauricio Pochettino should take Bournemouth very lightly. Not because Tottenham thrashed them 5-0 in December but because Saturday’s fixture at the Vitality is one Spurs would be better off overlooking. Far wiser to think ahead to Wednesday’s Champions League second leg at Ajax. Spurs, like Pochettino himself, may never have a better chance to reach the final. If they are to overturn the deficit from the first leg, they need as many players as possible to be fit and fresh. Pochettino, who blamed a lack of energy for the 1-0 defeat in London, should take this opportunity to give his first team a rest. It is true that Spurs have not yet secured a top-four finish but, given the haplessness of their pursuers, sacrificing the game against Bournemouth is probably not even a big risk; certainly not as much of a risk as playing his best team would be.

I have two thoughts on that supposed bold approach.

1: Poch didn't blame a lack of energy for the result. He said we lacked energy in the first 30 minutes. He addressed the situation, gave the boys a good talking to at half time & we largely bossed them afterwards.

2: It's a stupid idea.

This is definitely an article written by a Gooner or a Scum

The counter argument is if Son and sissoko play and don't come out of it ok, then were screwed in mid week.

But I reckon we should play Son. Maybe Dier can play in place of Sissoko

 

[Bilko]

Can see sissoko butchering Ajax midfield- play Dier against Bournemouth please
