Tottenham - EFL Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

[BLUEMATT23]

Can't believe what I read on here sometimes.
Trophy at stake and people discussing resting players for a european trophy we may not win.
Strongest side possible please, I want to win it 4 times on the trot.

When we won our last 14 league games to win the league am sure we played an unchanged team

Maybe Rodders for Ferna...............

I’m worried he’ll play the reserves again to rest players for PSG. We should play our best eleven then if we lose it’s fair enough . I want us to win this cup the most, to equal the record.

 

[Mike N]

I want to beat these so much.

We should play our strongest side, absolutely no question about it. We're at Wembley in a final with a trophy to play for. I'd honestly question why we're trying to get to the final if we're deliberately playing a weakened side.

We saw against Chelsea what happens if you try to be too clever - you get beat. Spurs, freed from Mourinho's negative tactics, will be a different side I suspect. They have nothing to lose and it wouldn't surprise me to see Moura, Bale and Son up front (no idea on injuries) to give us something to think about in terms of pace.

I think we will win, but we shouldn't be putting this 2nd to the CL game. If we end up with the CC and PL this season, I'd put that down as a good season for us.

Meh I was for resting players but fuck it play the strongest team available,couldn’t bear the thought of spurs winning something and treating it like they’d just won the league and champions league double ffs ..

Rest Dias.

No way with a max 9 games left no more mass rotation and especially keep the same back four allowing for stones red card. Dias is the anchor

We’re on a run of lose one win one at the moment - a sequence which if continued would see us lose to Spurs make the champions league final but lose it and finish on 83 points -

Oh well that’s cheered us all up
