Tottenham’s performance (or lack of it) at the weekend in the embarrassing 1-0 defeat to West Bromwich Albion was one of the worst displays I have seen from our sides in a long, long time.
If you were a neutral, you would have thought that the Spurs players had nothing left to play for this season, rather than the goal of securing a third-place finish and Champions League football.
Mauricio Pochettino needs to make some changes to his line up for the visit of Newcastle United to Wembley and shake things up. There would be one notable change in my opinion and that would be to drop Erik Lamela in place of Lucas Moura.
I’ll be the first to admit, I’m not Lamela’s biggest fan. His stepovers, flicks and taking the ball away from goal frustrate me greatly. Moura looked to run direct and did more in 11 minutes than what the Argentine offered in 78 minutes.
What changes would you make to the side? This is the team we would like to see start for Spurs vs Newcastle.
Lloris (C)
Trippier Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
