Hahaha this is a joke ! Pamela rewarded with that showing last week with a start. We are in trouble. No quality or depth on the bench yet again. We have to accept we are no longer a big club. We are just happy to be also rans. 3 games in and this is what we are left with !

Shit no N'Jie, such a shame...

A pace-less team again. If we lose I can't help but again say what do you expect when the team is so short of certain additions that should have been made already. Am interested to see where Lamela and Dembele will be. May seem stupid to have Dembele out wide when Lamela is there but Lamela doesn't get anywhere on the wings, has to be central when he plays for me.

No N'jie on the bench?

I thought it would be useful to have a bit of pace and another forward on the bench.

Idealism over pragmatism again

Poch, really?

No N'jie is disappointing. Not quite last chance saloon for Lamela, but a poor performance today will see him crucified by the masses I'm sure. Patience wearing thin.

Each team sheet is greeted with a sigh at the moment. Just want something to get excited about even if its deli alli getting a game. Probably missing something but where is Danny rose?!

Still think we can win today COYS

Why is Rose not starting? Surely he's fully over the injury problem now.

Exceptional last season. Davies has done quite well to be fair but Rose gives us so much more with his pace and dynamism IMO and when you consider what Poch requires from his full backs in this set up....

Don't get that at all.

Big opportunity for Lamela today, needs to take it and start showing what he can really do - not just glimpses here and there.

Our bench is wafer thin looking in terms of experience/and or quality.

Surely Pritchard is fit enough to make the bench and be available for a 15 minutes cameo? Where is Clinton? Having seen that team and more importantly the bench my earlier confidence has somewhat evaporated. This is going to be painful viewing unless Kane has a BIG game.

I don't like betting against Tottenham but Leicester at 13/8 look good value.

As do Swansea at 11/10 against Sunderland

I'd assume Pritchard not fit enough yet & N'Jie prob similar, who knows what kind of pre season he had with Lyon?
Pitch was playing u21 football 2 weeks ago. How can he not be fit enough for a place on the bench?

No pace anywhere on the pitch except Walker. No pace on the bench except Rose. We have 2 quick players in the squad who are both FB's.

What a joke.

I reckon Kane will bag himself a couple of goals today.

Hopefully Lamela will do something other than running into people.

Pochettino might be the lamest guy when it comes to team selection. The opposition would have never guessed that...

Great bench, four CMs under 23 and two FBs. Clinton and Pritchard sitting at home. As if they wouldn't be ready for 15-20 minutes....

Nice for Onomah but think there is no way he will be used. Bentaleb first sub and probably Alli and Rose too late on.

We have no real idea if N'Jie is match fit and ready so I'll have to reserve judgement.

Having said that, its obvious Pochettino likes to slowly integrate new players and you can see the positives with that. However, its obvious our play needs an injection of something and if this N'Jie with pace to burn is match fit and ready I find it disappointing that he's not on the bench.

Njie not on the bench is a strange one especially seeing as our striker depth is pathetic.

Thauvin is a prime example.

The Toon have there tails up with him on the pitch now.
