No need to rotate now imo.Just a bit of squad rotation, give Moura some minutes too.
HugoThats what I'd like to see and Moura get a good 30mins as well.

If Poch doesn't go for this properly and we go out to fkin Swansea when Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool are already out then I'll be livid and convinced we'll never win anything with that attitude.
Got to go for it this year.
We really can win this bloody thing.

If he does, and I don’t think he will. He will deserve the blame and the criticism of the press and fans when we lose.Poch will start all Vorm, Foyth & Llorente rightly or wrongly imo
Totally understand this sentiment, and I think we should go as strong as possible. But imo that doesnt necessarily mean playing what would be on paper our strongest side. I think there are some lads that are looky leggy and it doesnt help anyone playing fatigued players.I will be staggered, and disappointed tbh, if Pochettino goes with anything other than full strength in this one. Get through and we pretty much have a home semi. It's one of our biggest games in a long time imo.
Someone needs to explain to Merson that there are no replays at this stage of the competition....
I don't see how Swansea win this game. They have bigger fish to fry with their survival bid so I expect them to make changes, something that will play into Spurs' hands. Both teams will be devastated with a draw and a replay, especially Swansea - their priority is staying in the Premier League
Seems too defensive for Swansea. They are not coming out attacking - they will defend and look to counter. Plus, that formation, with width from the wingbacks in the attack works best when you have a good target in the middle - Kane or Llorente. With Son as the striker, he'll need more support and ball movement behind him.LlorisI think of Toby is going to play any part for us this season then this is the game to reintegrate him. I prefer 4231/ 433 but with Kane out, against a Swansea side who are attacking and comfortable in possession too, a quick, counter attacking side spearheaded by Son could be very effective. Giving Toby minutes with the security of two other centre backs could be great just before an international break and with the second half of the season in mind.

Completely Agree, What's the point of playing a back 3 if you have 2 holding CMs. too boring...Seems too defensive for Swansea. They are not coming out attacking - they will defend and look to counter. Plus, that formation, with width from the wingbacks in the attack works best when you have a good target in the middle - Kane or Llorente. With Son as the striker, he'll need more support and ball movement behind him.
Take off a defender, put on an AM - either Lamlela (likely) or Lucas.
If you were the Swansea manager would you want to win this game or focus solely on the relegation battle?
I'm not sure I'd want my players thinking about anything else but survival.
I think given the tight muscle that Alli came off with against Bournemouth and that he will be playing in the Intl's, and Lamela/Lucas won't be, the line up will be this:
---------------Vorm
Aurier--Sanchez--Verts--Davies
----------Winks--Wanyama
-Lucas----Eriksen----Lamela
--------------Son
But with that front four being more fluid than just Son being our most forward player...
