Brains of Britain in the pundit box tonight I see
Perhaps his legacy will be a nearly manager at Tottenham?
Semi finals and done.
Seriously though, just a shocking half of football even with the injuries. I suspect 15 premier league teams would offer more resistance tonight in this game.

It’s a real shame the forum only allows one disagree, I’d like to give this at least fifty

Joe Cole just said Poch fancies himself. That is peak Sky Sports punditry. They literally can't make a comment close to this one ever again.

All going wrong, and the team doesn't look up for it.
I have no sympathy for Pochettino for starters. Lets revisit an old discussion, because yet again we concede a goal from a corner headed to a man unmarked edge of the box. It's already happened in one semi final against Chelsea ffs, and I make it four games now it's happened that I can recall. Lots of posters have tried to tell me that you cant do anything about this type of goal, that isn't fucking true. How about marking the two players left unattended at the edge of the box? We aren't learning, it's not good enough, it might have cost us yet again. Fine margins you have to eradicate.
The second goal is largely down to us getting tactically done. Chelsea have predicted we'd go with the diamond, and are just playing with width - using the fullbacks and the likes of Barkley are coming out into the channels to gang up on us. The goal we just get done on shape, pure and simple.
I don't know what you do. We're stuck in our own third and no outlets. So many haven't turned up yet, Eriksen, Lamela etc. Llorente is playing like what he is - someone who's legs have gone with the added debilitating factor of zero confidence. Sissoko looks off the pace, but the one who surely has to be hooked at the break is Dier, who is so far off it tonight and is a gamble that isn't working.
As it stands we need a huge effort that looks unlikely, and we badly need to regroup at the back as we'd threatened to get cut to pieces as we went chasing the game as the whistle came.

How much cover are we meant to have? Kane Dele and Son are all out at the same time, that is unheard of, no team in the country has cover for that kind of loss. We are better off with Danny Rose on now but if we have Llorente on we need to at least play to the strengths he has. Get one back and I have some confidence in Gazzaniga for penalties.

Refer to my previous post...last line
It doesnt take an expert to see we need to make some signings and stop stretching the paper thin squad. Jesus christ...

To be fair I think that's what we were trying to do.
Yet he has been one of the worst players on the pitch. If things are going badly or the bigger boy gives you a bit he hides.
