I apologise if this subject has been tackled already in other posts. I've not had a chance to review other comments/posts today.
Let me start by saying that I am 100% behind Poch. I think he is working miracles at Spurs. But sometimes, just sometimes criticism of him is justified in my opinion.
I was totally flabbergasted when I saw Davies in the starting line up ahead of Rose. I seriously cannot understand that decision. Hopefully, the significant difference that Rose made when he came on will make Poch realise that Rose is a must start for big games (just like a fit Kane is). Fortunately no damage was done because Davies had to come off early on.
I totally understood the change in goal keeper (I quite like Gazza), but leaving Rose out was pretty silly I think.
Anyone agree/disagree?
Danny Rose / Ben Davies

Hey sandy!
I must’ve commented on your post Sunday vd United game - ever for the first time.
Do not get it why you went about filtering me w/o warning? No disrespect nor bad intentions mate - just points of view.
Though you could warn your dislikes prior - or delete a comment you don’t approve instead.

We all know Rose is superior but we also know he’s incredibly injury prone.
Even yesterday he’s limping for half his time on the pitch.
Unfortunately Rose game time has to be managed but his understudy in Davies just isn’t up to it.
Definitely a position we need to look at in the summer

Given the hacking down Rose received, it is no wonder he was limping. That was the only way the opposition could stop him from barrelling forward. Llorente's goal was a fine header from a great Danny Rose cross.
I agree Rose's best days are behind him, but he's still far far better than Davies.

Rose is quality. Davies and trippier both some to have regressed this season, and I’m not sure why.

Kante should have seen Red for one awful tackle. Rose was getting constantly scythed down all match.

Because last season was there purple patch of their career.
Goes to show when we had both Walker and Rose I wanted them replaced as back up players.
Never good enough to be the main starters for us

I think his success in the World Cup has gone to Trippier’s head this season. He seems to think that he’s better than he is. Trying flicks and nutmegs rather than doing the basics.
Davies was never a very good right back. Although he seems like he could be a good central defensive option going forward.

That's where Coleman put him in the Wales team, and he did very well.

I agree that although Poch is doing an amazing job with Spurs given the budget etc, he isn't immune to criticism.
We got ourselves back into the semi final tie with a cross into the box for Llorente to head in.
WHY does he then switch to a back 3 to push the wing backs forward after taking off Llorente and having Moura and Lamela upfront???

He switched to 3 at the back at half time not after scoring
