    Wow, Time is putting Son on the cover of the magazine for the World Cup Preview.   http://time.com/5304467/son-heung-min-world-cup/

I don't expect a ton of stoppage time, say 3 minutes?

He just said 4.

I was literally typing I was shocked they made it this far keeping them out of the net, and then this goal.

Levy's refusal to sign a single freaking player is going to potentially cost the club millions upon millions.

Ding ding ding. But fatigue is just mental.

If Spurs don't spend serious money this transfer window, I can't see Poch sticks around if a serious team comes calling in the near future. Why would he want to stick around for a club that isn't going to put serious efforts out there to do something, ANYTHING.

Fify. 

I would also say it’s comical to put all the blame on Levy.

Fair enough..plenty of blame to go around.

We’ve historically faded late under Pochettino. Look at Bielsa’s Leeds team this year (or his teams historically). This system, and low rotation, leads to players being fatigued and a poor run of form late. 

Playing Rose and Trippier was dumb. If Rose starts again against Ajax that will be 5 starts in what, 18 days? 

Landing a CM like Grealish would have helped, but I think we still would have had issues.

Don't get me wrong, I agree Poch's approach needs to be different. Given what we saw from Bournemouth today, I don't know why he isn't running out guys we haven't seen all season - KWP, Nkoudou, CCV (they recalled him, right?), Janssen. There is a huge picture here to be seen ...

I think Poch is just going to run this team into the ground just to spite Levy.

CCV is still at Swansea. N’Koudou was loaned, and currently injured, to Monaco. KWP probably should have played. He had 3 assists in our previous game against Bournemouth. Janssen should have played and had Moura on the bench. I also probably would have played a 4-4-2 diamond, so Sissoko can play RM, with Skipp at LM (and either Dele or Eriksen on the bench. 

I think part of the issue is Pochettino pressing for a win and doubling down with his best 11. I don’t have much hope for the second Ajax leg now.

So I looked it up, that was Rose’s 4th start in 14 days. Assuming he starts Wednesday, that’s 5 starts in 18 days. This is after us not playing him twice a week almost the entire season.

Exactly.  I don't know who Poch was supposed to put out there outside of KWP, but the issue is much deeper than that.  There is zero depth in the squad.

I don't see Chelsea losing tomorrow at home, but maybe against Leicester next week on the road.  Arsenal is not losing to Burnley and Brighton.  Everton will be a must win for Spurs, and I don't think it happens without Son.

Could have played Skipp against Huddersfield (was a 20 minute sub), Brighton, or today. Should have started Davies for Rose. Janssen or Llorente probably could have started for Moura. I think the holdup play and aerial ability would have been useful against a bunkered side. I really didn’t like the 4-2-3-1 with the personnel available. The 4-4-2 diamond was probably a better tactic.

I can easily see Arsenal losing on the road at Burnley. They’re completely abysmal on the road. Losing Ramsey has made it worse.

And no Foyth  😝

That effectively seals CL due to our +8 goal differential over Arsenal.

Yeah, even if Spurs can't score again, I can't see Arsenal getting to our level on GD against Burnley.

Big changes coming to the squad this summer. 

Top 4 basically locked up. Hopefully that is a boost to the club. Bring on Ajax

Hopefully, after his red card, Son is ready to wreck shop on Ajax.  Need Jan to bounce back too.

I kind of wonder if this will be the lineup:

4-4-2 diamond 

Lloris

Foyth - Vertonghen - Alderweireld - Davies

Wanyama

Sissoko - Eriksen 

Dele

Lucas - Son

Bench: Gazzaniga / Sanchez / Rose / Trippier / Dier / Skipp / Llorente 

There has been talk that Kane could possibly get named to the bench Wednesday.

Id be cool with that.  Why no Dier?

He’s been terrible for a good while now?

Yes.  but he is the only mean streak we have sans Son or Foyth and he's due

Are you talking about next weekend?  Who cares about next weekend--we need to be focused on Ajax.

Ajax would murder Dier on counterattacks. You could play him against Everton if we go out and completely bunker.

the majority of which he would start with his poor passing.

Game day.  Let's make it an all EPL final.  COYS!

5 starts in 18 days for Rose. Fucking stupid. Also, why is Trippier starting? He literally offers nothing right now.

Half this squad needs to be replaced.. What a sad outing
