Regardless of whether you agree with the actual starting XI, it at least shows that Pochettino finally understands that rotation has to start happening with the potential/actual commitments for the final half of the season.
I don't know if I'm correct on this, but isn't walker on 4 yellows? Isnt there some "expiry date" rule where if he stays on 4 yellows until 31st December, it means he'll not get banned when he picks up the 5th? Instead it stretches to 10 yellows. ??? Therefore could partly explain why he's been rested...
Jurado being outmuscled by Carroll. By outmuscled, I mean he realised he wasn't going to get the ball and went down. 1-0! Lamela! Great pressure and break.
You have to question Gomes' position on that one. He basically opened up that corner for the shot and would've been miles out of position if the ball had gone to Kane.
We've had most of the possession, but they've looked lively up top when they've had it. Couple of corners at each end, coming to nothing. Capoue blazing it miles away twice. Scored on our first proper shot.
