I'm no expert on these things but as a Spurs fan I simply can't imagine Son not starting against BOU. We were toothless against Ajax but we still need to ensure we get CL football next season. Moura was terrible in midweek and vied with Dele to be the worst player on the pitch. As a team we are running on fumes, although having Sissoko back is a major boost.raoul wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 18:26interesting analysis and thanks.dod wrote: ↑01 May 2019, 16:13 Nice score for a chipless team last GW raoul .
I guess the question is who do you have your eye on to bring in?
Duffy and Chilwell both have very poor fixtures left but there aren't great options for defenders. Maybe Shaw? I'm not convinced by MUN myself even with their very easy run in.
I wouldn't get rid of Son when he is all but certain to play against a tragic BOU defence (he got 13 pts against them at the Lane), and then against EVE who are vulnerable on their travels. Son got 21 pts against EVE in the reverse fixture. Both these sides suit Son far better than sides who park the bus.
Barnes has a tasty home fixture against ARS in GW38. I might even be bringing in Wood for that one.
One not on your list I would consider moving out is Wilson. He's in great form away from home but has been poor at the Vitality. He hasn't got a return at home since the visit of HUD at the beginning of December and then faces a tricky trip to CPL who have are one of the most defensive teams playing at home.
Am thinking both Man U and Arsenal have CS opps this week, and Man U the week after as well, so yes Shaw is on my radar, in for Chilwell.
Will Son play against Bournemouth? I appreciate the point, but the Ajax game is now critical and if Son gets injured...
I guess my biggest problem is having 8 forwards, all of who I can argue should play!
Son didn't play on Tuesday due to suspension. Sure he will be needed for away leg of the semi but that is not until Wednesday evening so he will have enough rest anyway. He isn't a player who can't cope with a busy fixture schedule anyway, unlike for example, Llorente (who I will be benching).
Can you really make a case for playing Barnes at Goodison where they have kept 5 successive clean sheets?
