Also, Tottenham have a natural rotation process because of players who are ineligible for certain competitions. [LNB]'Roman Pavlyuchenko, Vedran Corluka, Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane cannot play in Europe. In the Carling Cup final Keane, Defoe, Frazier Campbell, Wilson Palacios, Pascal Chimbonda and Carlo Cudicini aren't eligible. [LNB]'Only one striker, Darren Bent, can play in all competitions. I would always try to pick the strongest side and I believe players would rather play in every game. If they aren't playing they are training harder.[LNB]'Players always want to play in big games. They don't want to be left out and watch their mates playing from the stand.'[LNB] [LNB]
