Don't forget the other one in the 2nd half

Your reference to 'dropping' Aurier is interesting...
Trippier is one of 2 quality right backs, both of whom will be used in almost equal measure over the course of the season.
The fact our system requires both fullbacks to attack and defend over the course of 90 mins will mean that these players will cover more ground than anyone else and therefore having them rotating and being changed in and out will be a major part of us being able to compete on a few fronts.
I agree, also Wembley is a massive energy sapping pitch, it would be crazy to knacker players out week in week out
It might not be an option to start Dembele in this one. I wouldn't mind him sitting out on Tuesday as well even if he doesn't start today.I think that Dele will come in for Son. The interesting choices will be who starts at RB and whether Dembele sits this one out or Tuesday.
I think most people are talking about rotating to get the best possible team out there today. We have played "only 5 games". But a lot of our players were involved in internationals, travelling, then Everton then a very tough game against Dortmund. Pochettino will have a good idea who is ready, if he rests someone it's probably a good decision.Still awaiting a Wembley league win, and with a chance to build some momentum, yet people think we should/are going to rest the big guns? I cant have it and I don't think It will happen. We've only played 5 games. The big guns can have a rest next midweek. I'd be treating this like a cup final.
I saw these and had to do this double today !!

I believe there is also a horse called Defoe running later today too
Exactly. Today's game and points are so important. They'll then have a weeks rest.LlorisFor me presuming all are match fit - then heavily rotate for the League Cup
Alderweireld Sanchez Vertonghen
Aurier Winks Dier Davies
Alli Eriksen
Kane
Dier intervju on soccer am right now. Says he's never seen Toby do his hair, yet it's always perfect
Think someone may have slipped LSD into my lunchtime cuppa - either that or Phil Thompson and Merson really were waxing lyrical about us on SKY Sports. Merson even tipped us for the title!

Son, Alli and Eriksen all starting today for me.

My point was we shouldn't be rotating for rotations sake, not yet. If someone is unfit/too knackered from the games u mention above then that's different.
But it wouldn't be for rotation's sake - it would be to keep players fresh for what will be a vet long season.
Putting the pressure on early. No sane person would commit this early. Er, oh.Think someone may have slipped LSD into my lunchtime cuppa - either that or Phil Thompson and Merson really were waxing lyrical about us on SKY Sports. Merson even tipped us for the title!
is there any evidence about the dead pitch of wembley? haven't heard any of our players or poch complain about it.
