I was hoping that we may give Dier a rest and play Carter-Vickers and likewise reat Kane and play Chadli, however Pichettino knows best

If Kane only plays 45-60 minutes then it's not really a big deal, it's pretty much just like training a few days before a game, any more than that and it would be a concern.

However, I believe that Pochettino and his fitness staff would know the players bodies far better than we do and I wouldn't be surprised if sports science plays a massive role in the team we select as it is such an integral part of professional sport these days. In saying that, I'm surprised (and maybe a little disappointed) that the likes of CCV and Winks aren't on the bench and that Onomah's not starting.

Aw, does spurs community need a hug? Relax peops, he'll never get out of second gear and be subbed off early. If he's the personality I think he is he WANTS to play.

The FA Cup away to lower league opposition live on TV = needs to be taken seriously. I'd rather win today than have a needless replay. Poch is going out to win and I think with that line up we will.

The moaners are out in force today and it is the usual suspects. Give it a rest chaps or I'll set Riggi on you

You can't win, we play the kids and say we lose and all hell breaks loose. We play a strong team and people moan that the kids should play lol.

Pretty pleased with the lineup with the exception of Vorm as I'd play Hugo in every single game.

I suspect that Kane is picked because we expect them to sit very deep and play for a lucrative replay at WHL, therefore get Kane to score early and make them open up. We can then go on and have a proper go and get Kane off early.

So many bed wetters here and we haven't even started!

And thats where things will go wrong if the mindset is to treat this as a training.

Must be going in hard to try and get the win and avoid a replay. A replay would be an absolute nightmare. Hope we batter them in the first twenty minutes and we can sub Kane off at half time.

How some certain members neg rep, dislike spam etc but never post anything themselves, just lurk.
Their prerogative mate. It is better to be quiet and let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
