Great rotation policy I'd call it, learned from the best (Spanish waiter)

Except he's got to pick stronger sides for the big games, this Spurs squad is a FM prospects dream team

He barely uses these guys last season, spends 100 million on transfers, and has 3 new guys on the bench? Since when do you strategically buy bench guys?

Chelsea can afford that though, plus Schurrle/Eto have actually played

Was afraid of a 0-0, and we're off

Cant just throw them all in.

Would have no chemistry.

Imo avb is doing it right and townsend is in good form

Naughton played last season. Townsend was at QPR(hard to give him a game b/c of Lennon) and it was hard to find a place for Sigurdsson with Bale in the side. And if they get Willian, Sigurdsson is on the bench so i guess AVB has Mou to thank for that

 

[BLAZO da GAWD]

So much has been made about the transfer stuff, but AVB is playing as many guys he's already had.. who didn't play much last season (Naughton/Townsend/Siggy), as actual new signings (Paulinho/Eriksen/Negredo)

I'm guessing you meant Soldado...

I'd agree with you on Lamela not starting enough games, but what a super sub he is to come on in the second half and add all that quality
