I'd rest Ben too, but yeh.... Agreed with the bulk of that.
Keep the 3 CBs together and try to bild some continuity.

That's not what I said, I didn't mention the two team's available cash, it's just that I don't think they have outspent us since Conte/Ten Hag have been the two managers, and if they have not by much.
I also believe their playing staff are not better than ours, when all the pros and cons are taken into account.
So they winning the League Cup and us being knocked out by Nottingham Forrest, doesn't have anything to do with the two teams finances.
Our away support is great, but this is a bit of a stretch innit?
We're not the only well represented club that would like to win more pots.

ManU's gross revenue far exceeds Spurs, but Glazers take out quite a lot from ManU (eg on top of the interest paid to buy out ManU they add an extra 2% or 3% plus dividends and management fees), so some of that difference disappears.
Spurs revenues are increasing at a faster rate than ManU so the difference in revenues between the 2 clubs will get smaller. We'll only see how much the difference is in say 2 years time
But fundamentally ManU buying of players has been very poor - the huge cost of Ronaldo to add a player unable to run very much. Long may that continue as that (buying better) rather than revenue will be the biggest differentiator for a few years.
The 1900–01 FA Cup was the 30th season of the world's oldest association football competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup (more usually known as the FA Cup). The cup was won by Tottenham Hotspur of the Southern League, who defeated Sheffield United 3–1 in a replay after a 2–2 draw in the first game. This was the only occasion since the formation of The Football League in 1888 that a club from outside the League won the cup.
And the following week v Forest!Thought we had already played our 1 Saturday 3pm game this season!
Danjuma, Son , Kane as the front 3. What say you?
I'd rather Richarlison started as the CF, with Kane on the bench to save us if need be. We've got Wolves and AC Milan for Kane in the next few days.
I say no! I want to see Richie up top leading the line, its not like the days off old where we have to rely on Jansen when resting Kane, time for Richie to earn his crust, front 3 of Kulu , Richie and Danjuma.
As above, unfortunately Stellini won’t be resting Kane. I agree to, but Kane starting.
Thought same thing. Every other clubs fans seem to hate us and hate Harry. The SU fans love us. WTF!!!
Well I can see the logic, it's probably our best chance of a trophy this season (the FA cup) but I worry that Kane will be knackered by the time we play AC Milan next week. When we bought Richarlison I thought he was going to be a quality rotation option for Kane, so maybe he's going to play against Wolves in place of Kane?
Unfortunately we rely on Kane way too much mate. Against Preston we can afford to rest him which we did, but pretty much 99% of the time, we start him. I prefer myself for him to be rested but we know it won’t happen. Hopefully if we are winning comfortably tonight, we can bring Harry off.
I just had an attack of THE FEAR, imagining tomorrows headlines along the lines of "Blades carve through sorry Spurs, or some mention of blunting, edging etc.
We've got this, haven't we? Haven't we?
We've got this, haven't we? Haven't we?
As you say the best scenario tonight now is to get an early lead and sub off Kane for Richarlison.
I assume for the AC Milan game they will be ultra defensive, so we're going to need our best players on top form, if we're going to score two goals to win that match.
Go 2 up and take off your 5 main men and throw in fresh legs.
Wont happen though
