Eyebrows raised when Mauricio Pochettino suggested he will pick No. 2 goalkeeper Michel Vorm in the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea on April 22.
It was disappointing news for a number of fans, particularly those who feel Pochettino does not take cup competitions seriously enough.
The Spurs boss has stated his desire to bring trophies to White Hart Lane and stressed the importance of creating a "winning mentality". But after early eliminations from the League Cup, Champions League and Europa League this season, he has now admitted he does not intend to pick his strongest team in the last four of the FA Cup -- even though Spurs are facing the champions elect.
