"Dembele doesnt play 2 games in such a short time ?" Are you still in 2014 ?

Dembele last season was fit. He started slowly but he did play midweek games. The only injury he had last compaign was ankle injury - start of season & in Euros. If I remember correctly, he got the winner against Anderlecht , 3 days later played full 90 against Arsenal last year. While opponents in EL & CL are different, I really don't see why Dembele 'cannot' play 2 games in 3 or 4 days ? We were cautious with him start of last season. And we gave opportunity to Carroll & Mason in EL. But dont think he was ever out of the squad or unfit to play in midweek games.

he came on as a sub for the Anderlect game in the 73rd min, he was taken off in the 69th min the game before v Villa, and I do believe him and Lamela where taken/substituted off more than any other player through out the season.

He was in squad...That means he should have trained well the day before. All Spurs fans know Poch doesnt pick anyone in squad, who hasn't trained

if Dembele plays 90 mins tonight, the max he will be is bench for Sunday, I will even go as far to say if Dembele starts tonight he will only get a bench app on Sunday. Dembele doesn't play 270 mins a week

with the 270, I'm talking of future CL weeks

I don't know who will be in the starting X1 but we have a strong enough squad now to be able to have enough acumen on the bench to change the game whichever way we need to.
Strength and pace for attacking and solidity for defending.

COYS and make sure the crowd are our 12th man.

If you want to assess Dembele, assess it in 3 weeks time. Like any other player he needs to be match fit as well. Even if he has 0 injuries, I dont expect Pochettino to play Dembele 90 minutes...He was so far off pace when he played for Belgium last week.

Poch has the squad to ease Dembele into the upcoming games.

I expect him to start today & probably taken off at 60min. If he got his touch back in those minutes, Poch may start him vs Sunderland.

no probs we all have our own opinions, but i honestly do not believe he will start against Boro, then start v CSKA (not BL) and then start v Man C, even if he is subbed off in either of the 2 games, that's my opinion. if my opinion is proved wrong please feel free to tell me you told me so

with Wimmer signing an improved contract before they flew out to Oz, he hasn't been seen. wandering if CCV is classed as better cover for both R & L CB if needed

Dunno, but it's super strange as Kev is in legitimate contention to start over jan imo.

I actually prefer he starts; I think he's great.
