3 players Tottenham must play more at the end of the season | OneFootball

With the season almost at an end and Tottenham Hotspur only competing for a trophy in the Europa League, it presents the perfect opportunity to test and rotate some players in the Premier League. With a dead campaign in the league, where Spurs stand in 16th place, the manager has nothing to lose, except his job (but it seems he has already lost that).

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has been rotating some pieces here and there, but not to the point of exploring a few options that could contribute and develop on the pitch. Most of the rotations this season, in fact, have occurred due to the injury crisis that plagued the club during this football year. There were also some alternative line-ups in the cups, but not as much as you would wish, mainly because Spurs played a lot of tough opponents in all competitions (lucky Spurs as usual, right?).

In light of Ange's likely departure, an overhaul or a change in approach may take place in the scouting department. For that to occur, it is relevant to consider who a probable new manager could count on and who could benefit the club with a loan, or even a sale, in the long run. Here are three players Tottenham must play more at the end of the season:

Archie Gray

Archie Gray has had an all-over-the-place debut season at Spurs. After being signed from Leeds United for 40 million pounds, the Swiss-Army-Knife midfielder played in every single position you can name besides his own. Even though the youngster had a quality season at Leeds as a right-back, his preferred role has always been as a number 6 pivot.

However, due to Spurs' disappointing season and a pile of injuries, Archie played as a center-back for most of his minutes in Lilywhite and even as an inverted left-back at times. In fact, Gray only had a few starts in the midfield, including last weekend's 5-1 defeat to Liverpool. However, despite his initial struggles at Anfield, I would give him some more opportunities to start in midfield to develop and see what Spurs have in him as a midfielder, as Lucas Bergvall also had his fair share of minutes before flourishing in recent weeks.

Wilson Odobert

Wilson Odobert has been having a tough season so far. After arriving at the club later in the summer window, the young Frenchman was expected to be the Spurs' prototypical 1v1 type of winger, a profile the team has missed (and still misses) since the last campaign. However, he suffered a hamstring injury that took him off the pitch until February, which did not give him much time to shine.

Since his return, Odobert has been helpful to Ange Postecoglou, as it is fair to claim that the Spurs wouldn't be in the Europa League semifinals if it weren't for his two goals against AZ Alkmaar. The prodigy also delivered a promising performance against Nottingham Forest, showcasing his dribbling ability and speed. He is indeed a little raw in terms of decision-making and finishing, but there is only one way to see him improve those: to let him play!

Mikey Moore

Mikey Moore has been one of the main stars of Spurs' young ranks for a while now, and we finally had the chance to see him in action for the first team. However, even after some spicy cameos here and there and his first goal for the club, Moore has been underutilized up to recently, being sidelined by names like Timo Werner and Mathys Tel, who may not necessarily stick around for the long term.

Hence, I believe Mikey Moore should be having more reps on the left wing for the kid to acquire more experience and confidence. With Son's physical decline and Tel's future still a mystery, it would be a good plan to allow one of the best academy prospects in years to establish himself at White Hart Lane. Mikey, indeed, is not yet ready to be the face of this club, as some might expect, but the potential is clearly there, and it needs to be explored urgently.
