Tuesday approaching and a tired depleted squad. Our last few matches have been either a one goal win or a one goal defeat so if we can break that on Tuesday and get a two goal win at home we'll go on to make the final and beat Bournemouth to qualify for next season's CL...............IF. I think we have the players to do it on Tuesday, Moura, Nando, Eriksen(score against his old club hopefully), Dele etc. Stupid of Son to get himself booked wasn't it. But, we'll be up for this one and I'm hopeful. Good luck on Tuesday boys in lily-white.

Truth be told Sonny has looked out of sorts since the City Champions league game, so a week off may see him return for Bournemouth and trip to Amsterdam a little refreshed.

Going to be a big test for Poch this week to get our tactics and our heads right for Ajax, and our recent record in semi-finals does not inspire confidence, but 2 wins this week is the minimum requirement. And if they are both 1-0 that will be fine with me.

Agreed. He gave everything against City and looks knackered. Would still prefer to have him as an option on the bench but the rest could do him the world of good in finishing the season strong. I've been thinking about the line up for Ajax more or less constantly since full time yesterday; totally over-analysing it to the extent that I over excitedly shared an idea for a starting XI with my cousin last night only to receive a text back saying 'that's a starting XII you plank'.

A lot depends on Winks and Goat but it sadly doesn't look great for either of them. I think I've settled on having no options from the bench (unless lamela deems it suitable to be fit) and would go with:

Hugo
Trippier Toby Jan Davies
Wanyama Dele
Lucas Eriksen Rose
Llorente

Subs: Gazza, Dave, Foyth, KWP, Skipp, Dier, Random bloke from the crowd who happens to play up front for his pub team.

The PL2 and U18 league seasons have both finished (unless I've missed something...) so that could well mean Parrott, Marsh and Eyoma are considered for spots on the bench against Bournemouth and/or Everton - and it has to be said Parrott and March have been seen training with the first team lately (as has Alfie Whiteman, although the odds of him featuring for the remainder of this season are practically nil)
 
Tottenham legend Clive Allen suggested that Mauricio Pochettino's side will miss Heung-Min Son more than Harry Kane against Ajax in the Champions League on Tuesday night, when speaking exclusively to Stadium Astro.

The South Korean has been in excellent form for Spurs this season, with 20 goals and 10 assists to his name in 45 appearances in all competitions thus far.
Just thought I'd post a little support for myself.

Kane’s contributed the same amount of goals (24 scored, 6 assisted) in 6 less games.
