Mauricio Pochettino has a number of big decision to make ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United at Wembley on Saturday afternoon – and fans want Michel Vorm to start in goal.

Pochettino rested a number of his stars on Tuesday night during the 1-1 draw against Brighton, which saw Dele Alli and Davinson Sanchez omitted from the 18-man squad, while Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele and Kieran Trippier sat on the bench.

The north Londoners will be desperate to progress to the final and go one step closer to their first trophy under the former Southampton manager, silencing critics when it comes to his lack of silverware at Spurs.

Club captain and first-choice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has been criticised by pundits and fans alike this season for a number of mistakes, though he undoubtedly remains the club’s best goalkeeper.

However, Spurs fans believes 15-time Holland international Vorm deserves a chance, after the former Swansea City goalkeeper has played in every single round of the FA Cup including his side’s 3-0 win over the Swans in the last round.

One fan described Lloris as “shaky right now” and want Vorm to start between the sticks “because he’s played every round”, despite making just 10 appearances all season.
