To be honest the Poch should have fielded a strong side as it would have blooded them into European football. BDortmund really should have been in CL and they recently drew with BMunch.

It would have been a test to see how Spurs are with the elite. What's the point of trying to get into Europe in CL if you don't turn up to dress rehearsal. This is the Poch's first mistake. Knocking out BDortmund would have made Spurs 80% more likely to win Europa league and given confidence that they can cut it in CL. Wasted opportunity.

They would have got turned inside out even with their strongest side.
Spurs are a poor side in European terms so they benefit from not putting out their best side. They will fair better by concentrating on getting into European competition for a few years running and learning the ropes rather than going balls to the wall and losing and in the process tiring out/injuring players that could have helped them qualify for next seasons European competitions.
