Poch is a credit to our club, always seeing the bigger picture.
Most of Spurs injuries do not happen during matches, they happen on the training field, or away from actual match days. Far, far too much bollox about wrapping players in cotton wool. Give them rest yes, but please, please do not act like they are some fine china that may get broken into pieces every time they step onto the pitch.
I didn't have a huge problem with it. I suspect it's about keeping Kane happy, which is probably one of our biggest priorities.
To be fair it's always good to just give players a run out and keep them fresh/sharp, 20 mins was it? Won't do Kane any harm, will keep him in tip top

As an example we've rested hazard on two occasions this season for Europa games we've completely left him out the squad so he's had the week off, then it comes to the weekend he's nice and fresh etc and he's been absolute $hit in both the games he's played after a rest
20-30 mins just keeps players sharp gives them a run out, i think it's just as hard really to play 90 mins then have a while off then go right back into playing 90 mins again and have no real build up to it for yourself

oh yes I forgot that Charity hotspur have a responsibility to everyone apart from ourselves.
I’m with chronic here, it was stupid. You cannot play him in every single game.
On another note, I wish Poch would have more trust in Llorente and start him a bit more. He’s a decent player when he gets the chance.

not on a shiiiit pitch with a desperate opposition lunging into tackles.... see the studs up tackle on Skipp.... he was very lucky not to have a serious injury

Had a score on 0-7 so I was delighted when he came on
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nice one Rapt, one of my mates had a tenner @ 40/1 !!
Hope you and family had a good xmas and new years!!
it didn't happen, but IF he had gotten injured every single person would have looked at the decision as absolutely stupid. if we was 2-1 up then I wouldn't have wanted it but wouldn't have been so annoyed.... 1-1 or losing then I completely get it.
6-0 up though. 6-0 !!!!! wtf is going on. its not respect at all... 6-0 up and bringing on World Cup golden boot striker to try and rattle in more goals to make it more embarrassing for you is not exactly showing respect.
no one will convince me it was anything other than plain stupidity.
Seemed a bit daft Kane travelling at all

Exactly, a lot of our supporters think that by giving players time off, they will come back all guns blazing, very rarely works like that. Remember when I used to work, I came back from a two week holiday, supposedly all fresh and raring to go, and I was like dog shiiiite for the first few days back. Footballers are no different.

To be fair, he had a good rest against Wolves. He was carried round Wembley for an hour and a half in Willy Boly's back pocket.

Thee was absolutely nothing wrong with the pitch at Tranmere, probably better than Wembley.
Yeh I agree mate. Few people are saying it’s ok and not to worry, but say Kane did pull a muscle or get hacked by one of the Tranmere players and come off with an injury ? Pochettino would be getting pelters right now and to right. 6-0 up and cruising, was honestly not needed.

after he had bent in a screamer.. but the whole team were poor.
He is very, very lucky that Kane didn't pick up any kind of knock or muscle twinge yesterday.

Why 'very, very lucky'?
I do get the gist of the article, but it's a bit of an overreaction.
Considering he was only on for 15 minutes (and that footballers don't normally sustain even minor injuries every quarter of an hour), then surely you'd have to say Poch would've been very, very UNlucky if Kane had picked up some kind of minor injury ... even if you think such a remote risk was not worth taking.
I didn't watch the match so cannot say what was going on in the game at that point, but I'd imagine that unless there was some Tranmere nutjob looking tremendously frustrated and going in late and high on opponents, then most would've been taking it a bit easy by then. There are probably fiercer-fought training games where squad players wishing to impress the manager will go in stronger than necessary. A lot of injuries happen that way too. I'm sure no-one expects Poch to make all his starting XI sit out of them because there are tough fixtures ahead.

its not about the rest, its about avoiding the unnecessary risk of injury. sandy I cannot understand how you cannot be in agreement with me.
how on earth any spurs fan can think bringing on Kane at 6-0 up in a cup game is a good idea ahead of the week we have I have no idea. if it was a league game and we were chading GD then MAYBE I could agree... but it was a cup game.
