Every team rests players in the cups.
It has nothing to do with opinion.
It is solid fact that for Wales he has been playing in LCB role in back 3 for years.
You can like it, you can hate it.
For Spurs, since Conte took over he has been playing as LCB. For 1 year and 4 months.
Under Conte this has been his main position.
Few games ago he was put on LWB duty which is totally new for him, so less natural position to him.
These are black-and-white facts.

Legacy Lilywhite and
Mrs Perryman and anyone else that made the effort to go to that shit show last night should be given their money back.
It was like watching the Boro game from last year - rinse and repeat!
When you've just lost to a Champ B team it becomes pretty damn moot.
These sloppy bastards lost to Paco Raban & Mura last season too..... Do we really have to go full strength to beat such opposition?????
that was my point. I expect in training today it will be "oh well..." right jog it off boys

Sheffield United with injuries , suspensions and illness were 8 players down . Right now all we have to be proud about is Kane , a Go Karting track , Beyoncé , NFL games , Skywalk , power showers , match day bar turnover and a golf course .
Keith Burkinshaw when leaving in the mid eighties said . “ There used to be a football club over there”
The man has been right for approaching nearly 40 years now
Not my point.
Someone suggested that it's because of Levy that we rest players for cup games.
It isn't.
See my post above
last night wasn't a quality issue IHMO. Sure some of those players should be shifted but they are fundamentally good enough to have won that game. The lack of effort, interests and commitment was there for all to be seem.
So my point was, where does this come from?
It's likely the top with the targets set at the start of the season, if it's not it's the players and manger not taking it seriously. If that's the case, then like Man U, the threat of extra work, or punishment is sometimes a motivation. For us fans there is no excuse, for the players, the just didn't look like they needed it.
but you can rest them in the second half - after you have done the business against lower league opposition. As someone said, we put out a team of strangers.
You can, but other teams don't do that either.
it's a damming indictment, I was the same, switched it off with 1min to go, joined the wife in the lounge to watch something else, simply said we were shit and moved on.
I'm sick of evenings and weekends being ruined, it's not the losing that does it, but the way it is done.
If the players could for one small moment think about what it takes for an individual fan to be able to get to a midweek match up north, and then multiply by 6,000, then maybe they could appreciate the absolutely mammoth effort from our support.People like
For me, it’s the time and cost. My work week is buggered. My family week is buggered. The time and money on the travel. The fact you have to be a regular STH spending £1,000s on tickets and travel to even be in with a chance of a ticket. It truly is an insane effort.
All in the name of glory.
:contefacepalm:
I am not blaming Levy for resting players or the lacklustre performance, that is on the manager and players. The general malaise and prioritising of everything non football related is on him though , winning has been removed from our DNA , Sugar and Levy did the extraction in my opinion.
absolute rubbish - Dier was the best player on the pitch for us
I know what your point was mate. If anything I was seeking to further it; not challenge it.
from the player's wages.People like

instead of trying to equalise with 7 minutes left - against a team that will now run through brick walls
