16.00, Spotlands. Yeah, "Spotlands".
Well, Rochdale have fixed the problem with 'that' pitch. An own goal before the kick-off if you ask me. Spurs with Kane, Alli, Dier and Lamela on the bench and Eriksen not in the squad at all. Says it all.
Well, good luck Rochdale. But, you know...
Well, Rochdale have fixed the problem with 'that' pitch. An own goal before the kick-off if you ask me. Spurs with Kane, Alli, Dier and Lamela on the bench and Eriksen not in the squad at all. Says it all.
WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY
Rochdale manager Keith Hill: "We've got a very good young squad. A lot of these players I believe can play at a higher level and this is an opportunity to show that they can at least compete against what is an outstanding Tottenham side.
"To get to the fifth round for only the third time in the club's history is already an achievement but we move on quickly and we're planning for trying to win against Tottenham.
"It's highly unlikely but we have to plan to be successful."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino on his criticism of Rochdale's pitch: "First of all, I want to apologise to the people in Rochdale and the chairman and the people who took my comment the wrong way.
"My comment was about the care, first of all for the Rochdale players, our players and the competition that all of England watches on TV.
"Now, when I watch the pictures and the videos through the Rochdale website, I need to congratulate them because the effort was massive to get the pitch in the best condition to play without risk."
LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Keith Hill has been at Rochdale for a long, long time. They are not doing particularly well in the league but this will be a massive day for them. However, I think Tottenham, whatever team they select, will have too much for them.
Prediction: 0-2
