Sheffield United Vs Tottenham: Leg 2 Match Thread

[thinktank]

I'm a big fan of both Walker and Vorm BUT there's got to be questions asked...

We were absolutely cruising then, a couple of minutes before their first goal, Dier hesitated over a clearance (waiting for a call from the Keeper) and both Walker and Vorm absolutely tore into him - when it looked to me like it was their mistake rather than his.

Minutes later they score. And Walker tears into Dier again - even though it's HIS man who is left free to score.

Reckon there's some bullying and scapegoating of the youngster going on. Not good. Not good at all. A defence that had been working pretty well, completely fell apart over nothing...

Spot.The.Fuck.On.

Two massive things learned tonight (as if we didn't already know already) firstly, we are immensely weak in the final third in terms of quality finishing. 2nd, Kane and I know he is still a kid, has a lot to learn about being a team player.

Eriksen being in the right place twice was a massive plus but Kane (I know he's a kid but unless Levy signs someone with an experienced head, he'll have to step up even further, simply because we are toothless without him) also has to learn fast how to look up, rather than me and me only.
I think all the super Harry Kane images cannot help him (who can blame him really? he has no leadership at that end of the pitch) in the first half he had players in better positions several times and chose to try and be the hero, only to be wasteful.

Eriksen was yet again a major plus for our side, always seems off the pace but has the quality to know where to be at the right time, a real class act.

Dembele was unbelievable today, he was absolute quality in the advanced role and apart from a twirl or two, he was fantastic in holding possession further up field. When he went off, the Sheff U game went up a notch and we were finding ourselves defending far deeper and conceding.

Wembley beckons, so do the blue shite..we will have to improve no end to get anywhere near that lot but after the league win, maybe Kane, Chadli and Eriksen will make then shit themselves again

You cock! Thought this was serious!

Lol sorry, edited post to add disclaimer.

 

[$hoguN]

Special shout out to Poch, 6 months in the job and he's got us to Wembley. Fair play.

Juande Ramos also got us to a final….

Just saying










(Please be clear that I say this in jest and feel much more confident in Poch)

Up until tonight I was 110% behind Vorm....however, having seen the pressure and indecision he put on the back four I hate to say it but he's got to make way for the final.
It's not that he's a bad keeper, it's just that Lloris is just so good.

 

[dirtyh]

Is it safe to come out yet?

So spurs but that's why we love em. Well done lads. Coys.

 

[1882andallthat]

COYS !!! Our players must have seen our fans with 15 mins to go and thought, "this isn't right, this isn't the Spurs way of doing things, they look too relaxed singing about Wembley we have to put them though the white knuckle ride, ah I know what we will do, let's deliberately put a cat amongst the pigeons by needlessly giving two goals away in just as many minutes, take em to the brink and reel the situation back in again"

Ps Soldado take note and watch our equaliser that takes it to 2-2 and 3-2 on aggregate that gets us to the final over and over again, that's how you show composure in front of goal !!!!

 

[thinktank]

I just can't see Walker improving; I keep hoping, but he just makes consistent mistakes.

Nah, he'll be ok...it's common knowledge donthcya know....

 

[robin09]

Who cuts Paul Robinson's hair? his wife??

Paulinho.

 

[joelstinton14]

I asked this last time, but what does poor defending leading us to conceding 2 goals have to do with Paulinho?

The same thing gets thrown at ade too. Unfortunately.

Our back four had 15 minutes to forgot. Was it jan who threw himself too the floor for the second goal? Also got dragged out of position a few times after too.

 

[Mr Pink]

Those fans...!!!

Did you Simon Thomas's face after the clip with those fans...was priceless lol

 

[$hoguN]

Spot.The.Fuck.On.

Yep. Like the other poster says. It was Walker's man not Dier's and they shouldn't have been tearing into the lad

 

[DuDe]

Juande Ramos also got us to a final….

TBF, I nearly posted something similar too.

 

[chinaman]

Can someone post our 2nd goal please?

 

[Real_madyidd]

I asked this last time, but what does poor defending leading us to conceding 2 goals have to do with Paulinho?

he didn't track his runner for the second, generally didn't break up play as effectively as dembele, and certainly didn't hold onto the ball as well.

for me the big shock was that after lamela finished stinking up the place Townsend came on and was worse.

Agreed Dembele was cracking tonight.

 

[Real_madyidd]

People need a punching bag. Bobby didnt play today. Jenas is long gone. Lamela wasnt shit. Next logical choice is Paulie.

lamela was pretty shit.

How the fuck did Lamela stink up the place???????? He was great defensively and created at least 2 chances.

 

[robin09]

Plus Dier has a head like a teddy bear, which makes me even sadder when Walker shouts at him.
