The pitch was relayed a week ago... not with grass but sand. Even Cameroun's pitch is not as bad as this.

Regardless of the condition and elements this is the type of match that brings you down to earth and humbles you. We are going from playing in the iconic Allianz stadium to a Sunday league pitch :glare:. The players should not focus on that but on the task at hand. The task has to be simply making quick work of the opposition and stay in the draw for the quarter-finals.

On the injury front we have no new concerns to worry about. Kane may not make the bench as he picked up a slight knock. He would be left out of the squad out of an abundance case of caution. Alderweireld played in the last round replay and should be good to go. If he fails to make the team as he did in the last 2 games then tongues will surely waggle faster than an amebo going to tell tales. The 2nd squad team has had a chance to play together a little more consistently lately and I expect them to file out tomorrow. My team will be:

    • Llorente * Son
      • Lamela
  • Wanyama * Sissoko * Moura

Rose * Alderweireld * Foyth * Aurier
      • Vorm


This is a chance for these lads to shine and push a stake for playing regularly in the first team. Players like Alderweireld, Rose and Moura need to shine brightly. A massive margin win wouldn't tell us anything but a hard fought close contest should as it will tell us a lot about the character of these players.

COYS!!!
The first and second team is interchangeable. Son, Rose, Wanyama, Alder are first team players. Some are returning from I jury while Son was on the ben h against Juve for tactics reason.
The Rochdale pitch has been replayed and I think it's with grass to the tune of £500,000
I agree but for the last few matches now MoPo has settled with the same lineup consistently. His preference is with this lineup:

Kane
Son * Dele
Dembele* Eriksen * Dier
Davies * Jan * Sanchez * Trippier
Lloris

The only reason why Lamela was preferred against Juve is 'cos of his Italian background. That means Son I fresh for tomorrow. I expect Son to be back in first team duties as your line-up suggests. But Poch tactics mean thing can change on a whim

The Son-Llorente combo upfront is not clicking.

I think there is a claim to be made for it though I still say he needs some more games to jell with the rest of the squad.

Snap. Winks loses the ball in the middle and leads to a cupset on the cards.

This is what happens when an attack is unserious. Between Llorente, Son, Moura and Wanyama. They need to fvcking wake up. This is not how professionals who want a future at Spurs should play particularly the front three. Tufiakwa

Wait, why is Foyth to blame for the goal? Winks 100% is responsible. You know the condition of the pitch, you know there are things you shouldn't do as the pitch condition won't allow it.

Pitch can't be excuse for the crsp some idiots have served up today. They feel they don't have to be here. Pochettino better stick one to their head.

Calm down. The pitch is terrible regardless of how greenly it looks on TV. The players can't move freely as their feet keeps getting stuck in. Hopefully they will up the ante and get the equalizer so that we can deal with them at Wembley.

It makes for an interesting game. The game should have started as handicap game with Rockdale 2 goals up. Now COYS, go prove you want it more

That is not my reading of the game so far. The pitch is not allowing the ball move in a natural way and the players can't move properly as it feels like playing on mud. I'm sure you remember what it was like playing on mud especially after it had rained. It's like playing with led boots.
