And if a Spurs manager plays a bunch of kids in a cup, supporters are livid because they don’t want to go out. It’s really a no-win. You can get away with it if you get a draw against a lower league, or that kind of thing but we have Burnley next week, which means full strength (albeit full strength that is largely second or third stringers at this point).
They're never going to be meaningful players unless you give them meaningful time.
