My bad, yes I imagine you're right
. Son also away for Burnley so ignore my inclusion of him for both matches.

I really understand those saying we should go full strength but personally I don't agree.
We should rest those we can't replace for the United game.
Vicario, Udogie, Bentancur, Richy etc should only be on the bench IMO.

I am way too much of a nervous nelly. I worry about starting Lolo again so soon after his shock return today. Want to wrap him in cotton wool.
But I suppose if he was good to go today, he should be right as rain for this.
And given his miracle appearance, I wouldn’t be shocked if VdV was on the bench.
Wonder if Kompany will play a below strength team? All their focus is on survival in the league i would imagine.
and the CCup so we could focus on the FA Cup and the Prem so anything less than the double would be a huge disappointment. Us Spurs fans are not used to disappointment so it’s going to happen. COYS!

I love how people are putting dragusin in when he’s not even our player

Yeah, agreed. I’d have him starting on the bench since Todibo will be given the first opportunity to impress.
It’s 9 days before the United game, and we have a 2 week gap after the United game. Would be ridiculous to throw away another trophy chance in the circumstances

Full strength, please. The only player I'd be wary of starting is Bentancur, but I think we're probably better off starting him and subbing him off early than the opposite.

Looking at our January and how we've only got three (hopefully 4 with the FA Cup 4th round), I'm fine going relatively full strength for this game V Burnley. Maybe just one or two changes but nothing drastic (I mean we barley can do drastic given our issues)
I'd imagine some like Bentancur aren't gonna play the full 90. Ideally I'd want to start with a strong team then sub off some of the key players when we're winning.
That being said, I do think this would be a good chance to give someone like Phillips a run out. Could maybe shift Royal to the left and let Udogie have a rest or something like that.

Burnley are bound to rest first choice players for this game , their next PL match is a massive game v Luton on Monday 15th , a must not lose for them , lose and they will be seriously adrift in the PL.
Ange has a few options to rotate but not that many.

I'd keep Gio in for this one. He needs to put a run of games together like he did in Spain. Bentancur, Gio and Deki is one sexy midfield.

Given that we are 3 points off the top of the PL and have a tricky few weeks while lads either return from international duty or get back up to fitness i honestly don’t know why anyone would risk key players like Vicario, Porro, Udogie, Bentancur, Lo Celso, Johnson or Richarlison.
