It’s time for Tottenham to try something new.
Tottenham Hotspur didn’t get their team selection right at Anfield at the weekend.
They came to getting a result, but the 2-1 scoreline against Liverpool could easily have been by a bigger margin in favour of the home side.
Tanguy Ndombele only played the final half an hour, and Giovani Lo Celso the last five minutes.
Spurs fans want to see the new signings playing together. In with the new.
In mitigation for Mauricio Pochettino, he may have wanted to rest Ndombele after his Champions League exploits days earlier.
He is still getting used to the Premier League, as is Lo Celso who also featured in midweek.
Tottenham’s embarrassing defeat at the hands of Colchester in the Carabao Cup in September has given them a rare free week.
That means Lo Celso and Ndombele will be fully rested this weekend for the trip to Everton. No more excuses.
It should now be an easy decision for Tottenham to pick them both together from the start for the very first time.
Spurs can acknowledge it might not be perfect straight away, but they are the future.
Tottenham must let their new players learn on the job and give them starts together.
Their partnership in midfield is going to be crucial. There’s no need for Spurs to delay it blossoming any longer.
