Right, this is getting silly now. I've seen many fans on twitter, and even some on popular podcasts, amiably squabbling over the first choice XI. This seems to be a particular issue in midfield (Son/Lamela) and LB.
To my mind, although it can make for an entertaining topic, it's really a nonsense question. This Spurs side really is a *squad* of players. It's not a question of which of Davies or Rose is "better" it's a question of who's shown better form in training, needs minutes or a rest, and who's style is better suited to that opposition.
Poch expressed a similar frustration with pundits and fans recently. It's the type of thing coaches often say to soothe dissatisfied players, but in this case I think he genuinely believes it.
