No reason as such, though he did say they had some injury problems that morning (Thurs).
"Are you exited by the two Dembas playing together. Yeah I am... not sure about this game, but I am going forward."
Think he may go one up top, or it may just be pre match mind games of course.
/He totally has a man crush on the way Tottenham play and Bale in particular; Laughs at comparisons as we've "had to grind out a few recently".
Maybe clutching at straws here I don't know, but he may just mean that he thinks they will have a tough game against Tottenham, and is therefor not as excited to see them as he would in a game that we are expected to dominate.
EDIT: Either way he would be mental to leave either out.
