Not sure I get the Dembele is not consistent enough comments. He has been immense in most of our matches. He had one heck of a brain fart but that's not a sign of inconsistency but a sign of why he plays for us and not Barcelona or R Madrid.

Absolute star player, but he is allowed off days

Kane is the problem if you have a striker who is just standing still not making any runs not shifting the defence everyone behind him is going to look bad.

None of attacking players have looked good since Kane came back. We are effectively playing with out a striker when Kane has been playing and when they do you try and play the ball to him he’s always in the position where he can’t do anything with it just loses it. He has cost us the last three games.

We didn’t look bad today players played well poor tactical decisions cost us a again

But this cup wasn’t improtant to Poch anyway

He's clearly hurt. He rushed himself back because he's Kane and he desperately wants to play and win us something. I'm not going to knock him for that.

Trippier & Davies on the other hand shouldn't be playing in these big games. I don't know how many times Poch is going to make us watch the same scenario play out over and over again with those two. They are fine playing a team like Burley in a normal league match where their lack of athleticism doesn't get them in trouble. But put them in a match like this one against team like United and both are huge liabilities. We desperately need to sort out our fullback situation in the summer.
Kane has rushed himself back to win the golden boot....end of.

I would even go as far to say if you ask him would he rather win the FA Cup or the Golden Boot he would take the later.

He has had a few games where he has been immense for us but to be honest, in 80% of games we playing in the other teams generally sit back so he is not like he is controlling the midfield for us. He isn't creative, his passing is fairly limited and he doesn't get hardly any goals.

Which he'd get by scoring goals for Tottenham, the absolute bastard.

Some of our fans love piling in on our players, players who genuinely care for the club like we do.

I will remind this when he leaves at end of next season..

Dude, the amount of space Dembele opens up is insane. He draws in challenges and carries the ball and releases to our attackers. This works great when our attackers are playing.

He has been brilliant in majority of games.

Pogba looked brilliant today... His attackers ran for him. pogba has been poor this season.

Son, Alli and Kane were poor today. Dembele can't do his role if others don't do theirs.

That's just patently incorrect

I really think people need to ease off our 2nd half display. It was even Steven until their goal, which was like a giant right hook into the solar plexus. It just completely knocked the wind out of us for 10 minutes or so. And by the time we got back on it, United were killing the game with niggly fouls and time wasting, and we couldn’t build any momentum.

It’s all fine margins. In the lead up to the goal, Lukuk tries to control it, shows the first touch of a donkey but it runs right into their player’s path, who tees up Herrera. We just need stuff like that to roll for us in a semi or final.

Is it really fine margins? They basically executed Jose's tactics to a tee and we had no response nor any form of in game tactical reshuffle or personnel change that helped our cause.

It’s fine margins if Lukaku’s heavy touch rolls straight to Vorm, and they don’t create another meaningful chance, isn’t it?

Remind me of the last goal he helped create (for Spurs).

Pathetic second half performance imo. Let it run away and gifted them the win.

Jose knew it was going this way. If they get rid, get on him ASAP.

What? They literally created no other chances than the two goals, and one was a lucky run of the ball. Is Mourinho such a genius he expect his team to have a 100% conversion rate?

I bet he had an inkling we’d give up something and when the pressure was on, we’d crumble.

We got Jose’d, 100%

Only so many times we lose games we shouldn’t be losing before it becomes boring

Jose would never come here. He moans about not getting backed enough in the market by United, for crying out loud.
