Match Threads Spurs vs Manchester United - FA Cup Semi final Match Thread

[WiganSpur]

Played pretty well. Not sure why everyone's sayng has Dembele has been poor. We've dominated midfield, he's just made a couple of silly errors, one leading to the goal.

Son's been poor though. Looks like he's been watching Sissoko in training.

There's been some good and some bad from Dembele. I think he's been caught dawdling a few times.

These UTD players are very dirty. They need to be cautioned more often. Pretty sure Young,Valencia and Herrera would have more reds if it was clamped down on.

So we don't get a miraculous improvement from benching the goalie. Incredible. Who would have thought, right?

Don't try and force a narrative, it's cheap and desperate.

Sonny needs to be on his toes more. Standing still when the ball comes to him means he's not getting the ball out of his feet or having a loose touch. He needs to anticipate better.

Kane looked like his normal self for the first 20, since then we've struggled to get the ball into him in the right areas. We need to find a way because Mourinho will try to strangle us out of this game.

I've seen those given red in other games...

I'm confused have the rules changed?

All the pundits acknowledge it was a two-foot scissor and then say a yellow was correct?

Really hate Jenas as a pundit

I was thinking Kane looks sharper than he has for a while.

For the first 15, maybe 20 minutes certainly. Since then though..... Needs to pick it up again second half.

I know Dembele cost us the goal but I thought he was decent that aside, passed with purpose.

Eriksen brilliant, Dembele disastrous, Son poor. Need to get Dele and Harry more involved.

Overall I think we've been the better team and if Dembele can be at his best in the second half we'll have every chance to move on to the final.

The goal we gave them has pissed me off no end. Gave these set piece baiting merchants some confidence and their fans a perk. I was already fuming when I saw Dembele adjusting his body to go back to goal. We've dominated them. Can't be giving away gifts like that.
Want to see how Son does start of second because Lucas may be a better option to get at Valencia.
My take on things.

Can't understand how the pundits in the studio think Valencia's challenge is only a yellow. It's off the ground, studs up and he's in no way control of his challenge.

Red all day for me. 2 footed.

Biggest 45 minutes of football for this club coming up in a long time IMO

A bit about arsenal and Wenger? Really?

 

[Gb160]

Just relieved it isn't another City/Brighton like performance...a bit of a kicker to gift them a goal really.
Could go either way now, for the love of god please let us win.

 

[yusrisafri]

Son needs to do more. Hes had the ball a lot but is not making the most of his opportunities

Very close to a red.

 

[RichieS]

Why is Valencia still on the pitch?

 

[tooey]

Can't understand how the pundits in the studio think Valencia's challenge is only a yellow. It's off the ground, studs up and he's in no way control of his challenge.

Objectively speaking it would be a soft red. By no means a good challenge but a yellow and a "one more and your off" would probably be the right course of action (in my unqualified opinion of course).

22 years and 7 FA Cups. Give him his dues.
