Sheffield United Vs Tottenham: Leg 2 Match Thread

[pook]

Why oh why are we leaving Eriksen on

We'll probably need him for another late winner.

**pats self on back**

folks will slate poch for what were, to less sophisticated eyes, shitdaft substitutions, but careful analysis will show that he got the key decision right.

Well for the bigger Clubs who win silverware regularly, you can understand it a bit more.

With us though, it shouldn't even be up for debate in all honesty tanker.

I know mate, but my guess is poch will take that risk to reinforce his level of integrity amongst the players.

Could be wrong, but that's how I'm reading it.

Absolutely, but we should never have handed them that situation in the first place.

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

Imo dier is our best defender.

Call me nuts, I don't care.

Lick my nuts, even better.

If kane didn't step up this season I'm afraid to think where this team would be. In the final but far from convincing

Right. I refuse to get behind Poch now until he confirms he will re-record Chas and Daves' hit with Pocchetino adapting and singing Ossies immortal line....

We have got to make this happen.

OK, enough San Miguel for you, laddy. Time for a strong coffee.

Yeah you could well be right, but I just wouldn't agree with the call no matter how its justified mate. These chances don;t come around often for us, you play your best team to give yourself the best possible chance of winning.

I hope Poch feels the same in the end, all said and done.

This team just cracks me up sometimes. What the hell, bring on the Chelsea bastards.

oh, absolutely. I was just joking mate.

... with both posts.

I respectfully disagree.

Hugo deserves to play in the final, he's put up with enough bad times without missing out when something good happens. Vorm can play in the europa on the thurs and will get a medal if on the bench. It's a squad game, the club captain (I don't count Kaboul) surely has to play now. I'm sure Vorm would understand that.

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Lamela chased down everything. When he went off the work rate clearly dropped, allowing them to play balls out of defence with no pressure.

On Kyle Walker, my sister has started calling him Forrest Gump. Very quick but very little up top.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

I respectfully disagree.

And I respectfully agree with you good Sir.

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...

Yes agreed. That all came about because Vorm stood on his line instead of coming out and giving Dier an option to nod the ball back to. Dier looked to be waiting for Vorm to help him out, and then eventually did the right thing in just clearing the fucking thing when the keeper showed no interest in wanting the ball.

Vorm deserved a bit of chat for being so hesitant. Dunno why Walker got involved, but then with his decision making I guess it isn't surprising the option he picked to have a go at...
