Just watched the highlights on Quest.
Good win for Spurs' B team but even though there was good reason this time to use the, mostly, second choices, I think it risked Spurs not getting the result needed.
Lets face it this competition is the only one we have a really good chance of winning and if Poch, again, puts out a similar second string team against Arsenal and we lose then the decision will be justifiably criticised. Too often he has done that in the League Cup and even the Europa League with the inevitable consequence when meeting quality teams whose managers do not just use it as a testbed and giving under-used squad players a run out.
