I'm not resting him.
I know, that's why I framed it so politely
I'm not resting him.
Think we are going to see a lot of this squad in PL, at least until Vertonghen and Clinton return from injury or Bentaleb is back in favour or Poch wants to give a youngster or two some experience.
Lloris
Walker, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Rose;
Dier, Dembele,
Lamela, Alli, Eriksen
Kane.
Subs: Vorm, Davies, Trippier, Carroll, Mason, Chadli, Son,
Obviously we beat Bournemouth reasonably easily away at their place in the autumn, but since then their form has been exceptionally good. So much so that if the season had started on 1 December they would be in 3rd position, not far behind us.

A remarkable achievement from Eddie Howe and Bournemouth. Third in the Premier League since December 1 #MNF pic.twitter.com/iPtwuH7nDy
We also know that they are the only PL side who have run more than us this season.
So overall not a side to take for granted - and I hope Poch has told the players that too !
Bournemouth are also the only team to be likely to field two former Spurs Academy graduates as fullbacks in Smith and Daniels
Having said that, we should win maybe 3-1, and for us its a must win game to keep the pressure on Leicester who will have played Crystal Palace on Saturday, and perhaps put more distance below us with Arsenal away at Everton and the two Mancs meeting.
Groin strain, if that is what it is then that makes a bad nit so much worse.Dan Kilpatrick@Dan_KP
#thfc Poch says Dier picked up a 'knock'. Looked more like a groin strain to me.
He played the full 90 though, if he was injured he would've been subbed.Groin strain, if that is what it is then that makes a bad nit so much worse.

I agree, would be odd if true. But if it is....He played the full 90 though, if he was injured he would've been subbed.

Last game before international break isn't it? Full strength and then take Kane and Alli off just before the end with an "injury" that keeps them out of the internationals.
Hope the moaners are happy.
Picks itself, surely. Tried and tested. If we're comfortable on 60 mins or Alli's chasing cards, stick on Onomah and Son for a good run-out. If Dier's chasing cards, bring on Bentaleb.Lloris

Shaadaaap.I'm biting on this hook. Its comments like this that devalue proper debate on the board.
Anyone who though Dier should have been rested has a good point, not deserving of a childish tag like moaner.
And dare i say they would have been just as disappointed or even annoyed as you or any other superior being if he has indeed picked up a problem last night in what was effectively a dead rubber. not happy .
Grow up.
If and when Jan gets back and fully fit you can take the risk of resting Dyer and play Toby in the DM position where he played at Southampton.
But until then play the 11 who beat Villa as long as they are fit as they will only be playing once a week from Thursday on.
It would also be nice if a few of them got small niggles and miss the international week.
