da casino: [ad_pod ]After Football London’s Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Alasdair Gold confirmed on Tuesday that neither Serge Aurier nor Danny Rose have travelled for the Champions League clash against Olympiacos on Wednesday, Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino is already on course to repeat the same mistake that almost cost the club in 2018/19.
The Argentine has been upfront when saying that he is going to utilise his squad and rotate his team for their upcoming European clashes, but it has to be a concern after what happened in Europe’s elite club competition last season.
The north London outfit looked set to be eliminated having only picked up one point from their opening three group games against Inter Milan, Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven, before two wins and a draw eventually saw them scrape through to the round of 16.
In their defeat against the former, Pochettino decided to omit previous regulars Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld from the matchday 18 for their opener, with his side conceding two late goals to lose 2-1 at the San Siro.
Next up against Barcelona, the former Southampton boss had to manage without the injured Jan Vertonghen, Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen, Serge Aurier and Mousa Dembele against the La Liga giants at Wembley, in a match which ended 4-2 to the visitors.
Then, against PSV in their third fixture they once again let a lead slip by drawing 2-2 in the Netherlands having seen Hugo Lloris sent off.
Those are three examples of the sorts of things that can happen in this competition and why it should never be taken for granted, as Spurs look to go one better than last year’s final appearance.
That clash against Barca especially surely proves that you should always take advantage of having fit and in-form first-team players at your disposal, even if it may upset those that may not getting a game.
Aurier shone from right-back against Crystal Palace at the weekend in what was his first appearance of the season for Tottenham, yet he finds himself left behind in London for this clash – confusing to say the least given his lack of football and the fact he should be full of confidence.

If Spurs do get off to a bad start against Olympiacos tonight following plenty of rotation, there is no doubt Pochettino will have a lot to answer for.
