It wasn't about who deserved to start based on sentiment, but on who deserved to start based on fitness and form.
Moura was fit and bang in form (don't forget his prem hattrick at the end of the season).
Kane just was not fit. He always looks rusty when coming back from injury. He always returns too soon.
I can't be having this hindsight stuff, everyone knew what would happen before the final.
Playing a half fit player and then leaving him on for the entire game is the stupidest most naive decision ever and I really really hate Poch for doing it

To be fair if Moura deserved a starting place based on his semi final performance then so did Dele.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
very good point
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yepp, I find it hard to argue that Moura didn't deserve a place in the final team, of course he did, but you could make the point for a few others aswell.
Llorente scored crucial goals against Dortmund and Man City, and changed the dynamic of the game when he came on against Ajax.
Son scored three goals in the two legs against City.
Dele played a crucial role in the comeback at Ajax.
Kane won us the game against PSV.
Eriksen won us the game against Inter etc.
So it was a tougher call for Poch than meets the eye.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't agree, Moura did it in the semi against an excellent team at a point when we were screwed. That comfortably beats the other examples you've listed.
As a manager you have to go with whos hot rather than who did well several weeks ago.
I personally would have benched Alli for what it's worth and had both Kane and Moura starting.

Pogba to Madrid.
Erikssen to United.
You heard it here first.
2 points that haven't been made enough if at all on this forum since the final.
1. If I was in the Spurs squad I would be outraged on Mouras behalf and I'm not sure if I would have any faith in Poch judgement going forward.
2. Potential signings may look at how Moura was treated and think I'm not going there while Kane is picking the team.

Yeaaah that's fine. We'd get more money out of that moron Ed Woodward and you'd only go from 6th to 5th anyway.

If Arsenal had money to invest and Chelsea didn't have the transfer ban, that's probably would have been the case.
