It's a strange one. Play a weakened team and risk another beating, or play a strong team and risk injury/fatigue?
Play a strong team and see what happens. If it doesn't look likely after 60 mins then game over.
Play the kids
We should have gone full strength last week and we are 3-0 down without an away goal
Even v our first time Dortmund will score meaning we need to beat them 5-1. Not gonna happen. The game is merely an inconvenience now. Sadly.
Full attention on Bournemouth and nothing else
Was just thinking about that Dave.
Given the side we played last week and the drubbing we got, I would go all out for the league now.
Even if we played the same starting team as today I can't see Dortmund not scoring at least 1 against us at WHL, meaning we would need to score 5. And I can't see that happening
difficult to read Poch these days
Yes its a tough one. I think Poch will go stronger than he did in the first leg but doubt he will play our best 11.
If we had only lost 1-0 then its all to play for. To chase down a 3-0 deficit we will have to play so expansive and Dortmund will exploit that.

Poch should sack the Europa off now, Dortmund will score at least one at WHL, and there is no way Spurs are scoring 5 or possibly more against them to go through.
Rest key players for Bournemouth and use the squad.
Reserves and kids and go gung ho. See what happens.

Actually I'm not too sure what kind of team I'd play. Unfortunately I only really have faith in about 15 of the players available to us right now so any sort of team I'd try and put together wouldn't work for me.
Yes it's gotta be reserves/kids and go all out for Bournemouth, if we were to get toby, dier, or kane injured in a no win game it would be a disaster.
If he does put out a full strength team then that tells me that he genuinely thought the team he put out in the first leg was good enough to get a result against Dortmund, which was either naive or he has a habit.
Poch completely fecked up first leg, but can he afford to go weak again, and take another hammering. Bournemouth game is really important. But for me a bit of pride has to be restored to the club, after last week`s shambolic effort. Poch owes us all big time, so his conundrum to sort out.
I am at WHL on Thursday, and no way will I be able to sit through another 90 minutes of Mason, Carroll and Onamah. FFS that would be my worse nightmare.

You could probably play better than carroll...............mind you are 83
If he plays a full strength team on Thursday I'll facking kill him myself
To be honest now, Spurs probably only have one European game left and eight league games, today`s starting XI, injuries aside will be starting every Prem game, so they may as well all start against Dortmund, one more game is not going to make any difference. You never know Spurs may actually get a 1-0 win, which would give a massive boost to the team.
You've got no chance against Dortmund, should rest players.
