Match Man City (H) – 26 Feb – 19:30 kickoff

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People moaning about Spence not starting and rightly so but he should be playing instead of Udogie not Porro. Udogie hasn’t earned the right to play in this game. Not starting Spence could backfire because Udogie is nowhere near as good of a defender as Spence and he also offers virtually nothing going forward. Strange strange decision to leave Spence out.
 
8 days to go until next one though. And it is ManCity not Southampton. All I am saying is that maybe if it is accumulated tiredness than game against Ipswich might have been better moment to rotate bit more? No?

That part is true that they might have some slight knocks or specific coditions for some that we are not aware of.

But let's hope it plays out the best way possible.

Thank fuck he didn't rest him vs Ipswich, we maybe don't win that game without Spence

But surely the beauty of FINALLY being able to rotate is for exactly this type of selection...

Porro & Udogie finally have some GENUINE competition for both their places... So they'd better be on their game...
And that only benefits US!!

Besides, Spence can have a well earned rest for an hour or so tonight, and will no doubt be part of our EL team next week now he's eligible again!!!

Nothing to see here ...move along please!
 
It's called rotating. He didn't do enough of it early in the season so has hopefully learnt his lesson!

You hardly think Kulusevski and Son are dropped too?

But question is - why the fuck do that rotation against ManCity not against Ipswich ?!?

In frontline there was no rotation in that one really. Ok - in defence Porro did not start.
To me it would make more sense to rest against lesser opposition really. Let's hope it pays off though.
 
I think ange has got it right tonight tbf. Spence is imo our first choice rb and he's done brilliantly and we need to make sure the like of him Son Kulu are at it vs az. Last thing we want now is more overplaying and more hamstring injuries and I don't really give a toss about coming 10th or 9th in the league.
 
We've got the week off after tonight....

I say go strong, or go home!
