***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Palace***

I'm a fully paid up Lamela fan boy but I think it's probably the right decision by Poch today starting Son in his place. Erik's just looked a tad jaded and off the pace in our most recent games, whereas Son appears to be slowly rediscovering the dynamism he displayed pre-injury. Looking forward to seeing him today.

I think there might be something in it as Walker never seems to be on the bench when not playing whereas Trippier usually is. Suggests that walker might be carrying an injury which restricts him to one game a week
 
Dier can cover right back and tripper can play midfield so you can cover more positions with the same players

Walker can only play right back really

Or that he's no good at LB, whereas Trippier, Davies and Rose are all more comfortable on their other side, and therefore can cover both spots?
 
Think it's harsh on Lamela losing his place, especially the way Eriksen has been playing for the past few months (though he's improved the last 2 matches)
 
Son is a greater goal threat, and played well midweek. Lamela works hard but hasn't been contributing the goals lately. Son is likely in the team due to that, I'd guess. I almost think that we need to rotate players depending upon the opposition. Bringing in Son, in a game in which we are likely to enjoy a good amount of possession, to add the goal threat seems like a sensible decision.
