A huge game for Pochettino I feel as a cup exit to the hands of Brighton could really send alarm bells ringing around White Hart Lane and winning this means we are into the final eight of a cup competition!

Lloris

Dier
Vertonghen
Chiriches (Last chance)
Rose

Paulinho
Dembele

Townsend
Lamela
Eriksen

Kane

Vorm

Vlad Dier Verts Davies

Mason Stambo

Soldado Lamela Dembele

Kane

Try and kill them off first half and then make changes early in second and rest Mason especially. We're in need of a good cup run.

Even then, people will complain that it's only a Mickey Mouse Cup.

Personally I would play the exact team from today and tell them to make up for the shit they served up second half, remind them they let the fans down

Having said that i would be kind of interested in playing Stambo and Dembele together as well as Townsend instead of Chadli

I'd like to see if Chiriches can be an alternative as a right back. We really need an alternative to Dier until the Kyles are back.

Not for one minute saying that this cup is beneath us BUT it wouldn't be the end of the world IMO if we were to exit at this stage. It looks like Poch needs every minute available to him to work on the training pitch but we pretty much have a game every 4th day it seems. This leads to constant rotation, a lack of a stable team and a lack of preparation time for our bread and butter which is the league.

People need to get it in their heads that if the players play a Wednesday / Thursday night game then they don't train (other than a light stretch) the day after, that means that half of our squad are missing for a vital training session usually 2 days before a game takes place.

That being said, if we lose this then "the faithful" will start readying their pitch folks I fear.

Vlad played rb for Romania in the recent games, good way to ease him back in after the catastrophe. Dier needs a rest

Townsend and paulinho ready to come on as subs

He had a whole preseason to assess the squad and weed out the players who can't play his system. If that was the majority of the squad then he should have adapted his system not shoehorn it on lazy players. Not rocket science that but it seems to be for the managers we install.....

Poor Sod

Wrong Position
Mentally Deficient
Lobotomised Cruiseliner
Dropped Bollock

Treacle Legs
Eventually Ruined

Blind Alley
Shovel Foot
Defensive Winger

Barndoor Banjo
