Important to note that KdB and Gundagon were both on the pitch, but Mahrez took it.

True but will Mahrez start next league game? All part of the puzzle.

At least it appears ederson is not on them

Gundo came on for Rodri and played the remainder of the game,

in case anyone else read it like I did, that Gundo went off

Not ready for 60+ minutes I guess.

Iheanacho goal, no assist.

Ricardo went off on the 60th minute. Hopefully just tactical

Scorpion Sting

Maddison introduced in the 69th minute.

Iheanacho struggling now

He played on and looked fine, looked serious enough initially as he was holding his hamstring after chasing a ball but looks like he ran it off

I figure if he gets through this game with a week to recover, he should be in decent nick for the Sheff United game

wonski

I wasn't watching, but the stats show that there wasn't much to see from Spurs attackers so far.

Gonna watch the second half, it is a final after all, both teams have to start pushing at some point.

wonski

Locelso with nice shot from long distance. Saved by keeper.

2nd half started well.

And that was the first and so far last shot of Spurs player.

Pep hasn't made a single change yet.

They all look like running out of steam.

Reguillion down.

Laporte goal.

Kevin assist.

It was bad display (or no display at all really) , but with Sheffield next in the league I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe just a little.

Did Kane look even halfway fit?

I remember he played the Champions League final half crocked and was rubbish obvs; and normally takes a few weeks to get back up to speed.

I swapped him out for Vardy this week so if there's a party tomorrow night I'll have a tough call to make

It was hard to tell if he was fit or not because Spurs had so little of the ball. Think they only had two shots. He shouldn't need a few weeks to get up to speed this time though you'd think as it wasn't a long lay off.

I guess the worry wouldn't be him getting up to speed rather him playing a final through pain and not being 100% / doing more damage.

There'll be a lot of interest in Spurs' training this week.
