He’s been a shell of a once top player all season. Would rather anybody 100% in there than a 50% Moose
Wanyama is back. What does this mean for the Squad?

Well I heard he was out but there's no mention of it here so i'm not sure:

Means so many things:
- More rotation keeping the squad fresh for the crazily busy Feb period.
- Solidity in midfield allowing Dele & Eriksen more freedom to work their magic and end product in final third without worrying so much about tracking back.
- If that pic above is anything to go by probably more injuries in training

Did you see the Southampton game? 50% Moose went off and all of a sudden Southampton looked a good team.

Means not having to use the 5th choice CM (Sissoko) as much.
However, this is only part of a larger question. What is our 11 best players given equal match fitness and sharpness?
Lloris (Obviously)
Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen (Also rather obvious)
Aurier, Wanyama, Davies (Not as obvious)
Lamela, Eriksen, Son, Dele (3 out of 4, don't know which 3)
Kane (Unsure about this one, that Spanish guy has some nice flicks)

It means we are stronger. OK that was too easy this must be a trick question

Nothing to do with the fact that Southampton woke up a little and brought on their two best players in Tadic and Gabbiadini
If you think Mousa is anywhere fit or near his best then we are watching a different game
He really struggles to beat opponents now compared to the ridiculous ease that he used to and he makes so many fouls now compared to how he played when he was fit and at the top of his game
I saw him lose out in an exchange with Joe Allen the other week, Joe Allen!!!!
That would never ever have happened in the past

something something "much needed rest"
Think Dier is the only other Spurs player apart from Sissoko to have played every game this year? Yet no one is suggesting he needs the famed "much needed rest" - much "desired" rest, perhaps, "forced rest" but we're not suggesting Sissoko is clearly flagging under the weight of too much football like Dier is apparently.
I bet the very last thing Dier wants is any rest at all.
Anyway, Wanyama back gives us options and a genuine CDM destroyer. Long live the Victor!

Sissoko has played 1260 mins & Dier has played 2140 and that’s not counted the international games minutes either

I’m guessing wanyama is pencilled in for a fa cup start possibly 1/2 sub appearances before

I specifically said 50% Moose so we did watch the same game. I agree he not playing his best but it's still better than Sissoko at 100%.
Momentum changes in any game. Subs help that. Whilst you want to say it's better players coming on for southampton, Dembele is a beast of a player and on form or not that can motivate the opposition seeing him go off.

We can revert to a back 4, safe in the knowledge it'll have some proper protection?
Im amazed how many posters will leave Dier out if the best starting 11 yet when all players are fit Poch has him in the team... I don't understand it.

Dembele played well that game, but when he came of the game was already won, not really possible to judge the performance change in those circumstances.
