Been looking to this.

Out of all the cups, and 2 of arsenal, United, and pool are favourites to claim 3rd and 4th between them.
I feel the pressure will be off our young team and we may see some good stuff in the remaining games.
And I'm not expecting anything from the rest of this season so probably be more enjoyable to watch

I think he should play Townsend on the left tonight. At least revert back to his original role and try and get something out of him.

I thought Dembele was playing well in the no10 position, not sure what has happened to this play.

And I guess Poch is using it as a way of stopping any of the losing cup final team from moping around and getting it out of their system by having to focus on playing again tonight. I'd like to have seen some changes though.

chadli and townsend need to be able to create more than they did sunday, looking forward to relaxing and not worring about the result. The performances r what r important for me the rest of the season.

It's not enough moving forward as Dembele lacks incisiveness. He spreads the ball well from high and keeps the ball at our feet better than Eriksen does, but it's not enough. My guess is at this point Poch is going to try and focus on development and the future of the squad.

So now Dembele and Lamela are out of the team, despite both playing better than Chadli and Townsend in the C1C. And no rotation from a game 3 days ago.

I haven't criticised Pochettino too much, but, in my opinion, his team selections make no sense, and are, quite frankly, pretty poor some times.
I agree.

Lamela and Dembele should both be on the pitch.

Pochettino's biggest weakness is his team selections.

Seriously?

Townsend is shite, can't believe he is starting again.
1 of 3 reasons:

a) it's as mpickard says above

b) poch wants him to run naughton

c) he's been tearing it up in training, out performing lamela, making it hard to not start him

Like the starting eleven alot and have the strange feeling Townsend gonna be brilliant today!.
me too but i wanted to keep quiet so that i didnt jinx him. Think Townsend biggest problem is he is a winger who has been told to play a wide forward role and atm he is caught in between.

Chance for Chadli to find his early season form again with a run of games hopefully, another chance for Townsend to try and stake a claim ahead of Lamela - which for me he's repeatedly failed to do so far.

So I guess everyone has forgotten about Dembele's last performance then?
