Carroll made a lot of mistakes first half and against a better opponent we could have easily been 2 down due to his sloppy passing.

Bentaleb also disappointed but didn't have a good second half like Carroll

Bentaleb clearly needs games and should play a few for the U21s

Chadli - 4 goals and 2 assists in 3 games isn't it? Has to be starting now. Can make the case for Trippier too.

I said a while back Chadli deserves more of a look in but it received the usual backlash.

Albeit against lower opposition, Chadli shone and Son looked good when he came on too which should push Lamela way down in the pecking order for the important league games coming up.

Neither Bentaleb or Carroll should be anywhere near the starting XI for the Norwich game.

Thicken - Good one

I think it's fair if Lamela is now behind Son and Chadli. He's not way out of it by any means, as he proves, like today, he can contribute. That's the good thing about the squad right now. Most are contributing from the starters, to those deemed the reserve players.

This is the strongest we've looked all season from player to player.

Its virtually a given that Eriksen and Alli will play behind Kane against Norwich and out of Chadli, son and Lamela then its Nacer for me.

I think there will be 6 changes for Tuesday - Lloris, Walker, Alderweireld, Rose, Dembele and Alli in for Vorm, Trippier, Bentaleb, Davies, Carroll and Lamela.

It was a good run out today, job done. I felt we had another couple of gears if we needed it.

Harsh on them to lose their centre backs so early, hope the fella that was wiggling about is ok

I think Son will start over Chadli

Let's have a little for the squad rotation too.

If we hasn't used them in the last few cup games, Chadli and Son wouldn't be among the goals and pushing hard for a league start

Sandy, what are you doing applauding squad rotation?
