Zinchenko had hardly played club football in months, mainly odd appearances for Ukraine in international breaks. Then Ange plays him for all 90minutes 4 times in 10 days. Sorry but that’s just f@&king stupid.
Now we have less ability to rest Neco. And worse than that, because Ange is desperate for that first win, he’s just going to pick the best 11 he can and rotation to managing bodies is out of the window.
Anderson has played 90minutes every match bar Swansea. That’s 7 matches in 27 days. Williams had 30 mins rest in a Wales match else similar. And they’re clearly both starting against Newcastle.
Not to mention bringing Murillo back when he didn’t look right from early on. Spurs’ injury crisis wasn’t just bad luck was it.
I think Ange will be sacked after losing to Newcastle. I’ll harbour no hard feelings, he just wasn’t good enough. But if he leaves us with more injuries because of his refusal to rotate, then I will.
It's the beginning of the season, I'm not buying the overplaying players nonsense.
And, it does not matter whether Ange has his best XI or not, his tactics work in the Scottish Premiership with Celtic but not in the Prem.
They simply don't cut it in the elite leagues.
