Europa League important for Carroll & Pritchard
Mousa Dembele recently told reporters he felt finishing fifth was important for Spurs, that mentally it is good for the players and when asked felt it would attract players this summer.
I find it inexplicable that some fans have been calling for failure as if not being in the Europa League guaranteed a Champions League place the following season, it doesn't. If Tottenham can't handle the Europa League, with squad players playing and the Premier League then there is no way we can handle the Champions League, where first choice players will have to play and the Premier League.
Failure to qualify for the Europa League should never be an option, it's promoting failure and Europe attracts players. It's only in England the Europa League isn't taken seriously, it is in Spain, which is why they win it so often. Would you say Dnipro are a better side than Tottenham? No, so there is no reason Tottenham could not get into the Champions League through the Europa League, even with playing squad players for a lot of games.
Harry Kane developed by playing Europa League football, it could be an excellent vehicle for Tom Carroll and Alex Pritchard next season. Miloš Veljković is hoping next season will be his breakthrough season, not in the way Kane has broken through this season but more like last season when Kane was gaining experience.
Carroll impressed against the Malaysian XI and demonstrated an advanced role may be better suited to him that a defensive one. Tottenham play with Bentaleb defending and Mason with licence to go forward. Carroll looks as though that role or even central of the attacking three could be an option. He has an eye for a pass which is invaluable further up the pitch, with another good display against Sydney FC he may well have secured his place in the squad for next season.
Alex Pritchard has to step up from the Championship so throwing him into European games and the League Cup will give him the chance to gain valuable game time in a Spurs shirt. Both have got to learn the Pochettino system and with the England Under-21 side for the European Championships, may well miss the start of the season.
Miloš Veljković is with the Serbian squad for the 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand with games set to be played from June 19th to July 11th. This is another tournament England don't take seriously, quite how we expect to win anything at international when so much seems beneath us is a mystery.
With new signing Kevin Wimmer looking forward to the Europa League I would expect to see Veljković on the bench and getting substitute appearances together with game time in the League Cup. He is only 19, he'll be 20 in September, and has time on his side but he is mature for his age so taking him to away games particularly will benefit him. Different countries, different cultures, different training facilities, different fans, hostile atmospheres, poor pitches, it's all experience and develops a player.
For these three in particular the Europa League is important, let alone for the likes of Ben Davies who would hardly play otherwise with Rose fit and performing well.
