Poch very nearly cost us that game with those subs.

Having Townsend on was like playing with 10. He was fresh an still didn't bother tracking back. Paulinho simply didn't give us the stability and ball retention that Dembele did.

I really hope Hugo is back for the final. It woul be a real shame if he sits it out.
Can't argue with you on Townsend but we had no choice with Paulinho as Dembele was injured.

I was on the verge of tears mate, not gonna lie. I saw that Sheffield Chance and actually thought we'd lose it. I was going to watch extra time if it happened.

I hadn't be that speechless since Drogba scored that penalty against Neuer in 2012.

Try watching the Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona match, that match has it all! Highlight for me was Turan throwing his boot at the linesmen.

Both Eriksen goals were superb! What would we do without our little Dane?

I thought both Davies and Walker both had really poor games....Walkers positioning and decision making is shocking.
Wake up you clown!!!

Just gonna pop in and make one singular comment, perhaps read a little.

The drink helped dull my otherwise nervous and angry outbursts, but Poch should have never used his subs. We were in complete control and the double shift just gave them something to exploit. That was a mistake.

I would have simply sighed at us dropping out, not much more because it would have been unspeakable to let in 3 goals to Sheffield United after leading 1-0 on the night and 2-0 on aggregate in the last 14 minutes of an 180 minute match. Nothing needs to be said after that, no raging or despair because we'd have gone out to a League One side with 14 minutes to go.

Thankfully, it didn't happen, but I really don't know what it will take now to have a repeat of that match against Chelsea. I'll watch, I'll shout COYS, but I think we'll lose quite easily on the displays we have been putting up since then.

Good job for squeaking it lads. Travelling fans, thanks for the support.

Eriksen, Dembele and Stambouli were all very good. Mason and Lamela in patches.

Seriously hope Lloris is back soon, Vorm looks shaky and there were numerous times when the defence seemed to be waiting for him to get off his line to collect.

Big Kane fan but he really needs to be less 'Defoey' in front of goal sometimes. Don't just put your head down and belt it towards goal, look up and pick a spot or a pass. Numerous points in the first half were crying out for the same composure he showed in the last minute with his pass to Eriksen.

How long have you been a Spurs fan ? You must be unhappy the whole time.

It's not just about the destination but the journey. Palace, Leicester and now Sheff Utd where we have conceded 2 goals in a short period of time, against average opposition, in such a poor manner. It doesn't bode well for the rest of the season that is all.

Any how, I will now burst into dance, helicoptering my cock around, as that is the reaction that a Wembley final deserves.

Best 11 for the final please which for me means Lloris, Fazio and Rose in.

Thought Dembele was good tonight as were most of the team. Eriksen only edges motm for the goals but Dembele was in beast mode tonight.

COYS
I'm not gonna look it up, but I called moussa going into beast mode..

I don't think it was the subs themselves as none of them were at direct fault, but rather the message it conveyed. Conveyed "time for cruising," and it was pretty clear that message was received throughout the XI.
