Anyone else think that Rickie being picked for England is probably the biggest selection 'headache' that Pochettino has right now?
I could be wrong (for once) but I'm assuming that MP is keen to see how well and how quickly Ramirez and Osvaldo can 'gel' but starting them both would probably mean having to start Rickie on the bench, which he's probably loathed to do given how keen he seemingly is for Rickie to break into the England World Cup squad.
Yes, I know its a "nice problem to have" but I just wonder if it would be easier to pair Ramirez and Osvaldo if Rickie's profile hadn't gone through the roof over the last few weeks.
Just me pondering out loud.
FWIW, I would start Rickie on the bench for this one
