At 3-2 down, looking for a goal to seal a wonderful come back, Pochettino had only Moussa Sissoko and Fernando Llorente to turn to on the bench, neither of whom would be classified as game-changers.
The likes of Christian Eriksen, Mousa Dembele, Jan Vertonghen, Dele Alli, Michel Vorm, Hugo Lloris, Serge Aurier, and Luke Amos have all spent time on the side lines in the past few weeks.
