Good game. Boys were clearly tired but they managed it. We really need CMs in. If Llorente is leaving, another forward if Pochettino doesn't trust Janssen. It is funny he gave Sissoko, Rose and Alderwiereld another chance but not Janssen. Bizarre. Wonder what he did.

I believe it has to do with attitude and aptitude. Sissoko is a classic case in example. If you when he first joined and didn't get any playing time, he complained bitterly to the press and Poch came to say he was lazy in training and didn't deserve a spot on the team. After a few months he began to get a spot on the bench and making substitution appearances then finally getting a starting spot. Despite the fact that fans were calling for his head anytime he made a mistake Poch persisted with him because he was happy with the effort he was putting in both in training and on the field. He told him not to be over elaborate and keep it simple and that is what he did all last season. This season Poch has taken the shackles off him and allowed him a freer role to express himself and the benefit is what we are seeing now.

Janssen would have been given his opportunity had he worked his socks off in training, quit whining and apply himself 110% when given the chance. Poch's record with players is consistent and it is easy to see why certain players get preferential treatment over others.

Really happy this schedule is over. 12 points out of 15 ain't bad. The only loss was a result of the lads not finishing off the job earlier as they did today. On to the next match. Into the FA Cup we go. Tranmere Rovers comes up next on Friday. A good opportunity to give the fringe players a chance to get some playing time and rest the first team players ahead of the first leg Carabao Cup against Chelsea a week from today.

The likes of Gazzanigga, KWP, Foyth, Skipp, Nkoudou, Georgeu and Amos should all have a start.

After grueling schedule the first teamers will have a chance to get a rest before they go into the next 2 heavy battles. This will be a chance for the fringe players and academy youths to show they are good enough to stay with the team and should be considered for first team action. The likes of Anthony Georgiou, Bamidele, Llorente and Nkoudou should get a run out. In should return the likes of Gazzanigga, Foyth, Skipp, KWP and Aurier, if fit. Dele might also get a run out to continue his road to match fitness. Llorente has to show his qualities by having a field day scoring.

Although it is a cup that MoPo is not too excited about it is one that the fans will care about and want to have in their cabinet. For this reason the team has to go out and put on a performance that will make us all proud of them.

COYS!!!

Fairly strong side. Dele starts, as I suspected, and captains too. Llorente starts too. Is it 3 at back with Foyth, Sanchez and Davies since KWP can't be RB as Aurier starts? Is Davies moving to DM so that KWP stays as LB? That has to be the logical thing since Skipp is the only DM in the side. Strong bench to come in to save the day if the game is going egg shaped.

If that Mcnulty guy can play for Tranmere, there is still hope for me yet. Time to go look for my old boots

Moura was taken out by the GK but the ref has taken pity on Tranmere and refused to give a penalty

It's getting difficult to keep up with the score, Llorente has just scored another 2, the first with an assist from Skipp

Kane makes it 7, ref should blow the whistle to save Tranmere from further punishment

Very lovely game to watch. Nice to see Marsh and Eyoma make their debuts albeit in relaxed circumstances. KWP has come on in leaps and bounds. Skipp may not have a better career than Scott Parker. He needs to be more aware of what is around him. HE should ask Winks for tips.
