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

[belsunz]

Could have been a bit more animated towards saving the first one too.

True but he was wrong-footed there, which admittedly is difficult for a keeper.

 

[SdB]

Surprising result, never saw this coming.

Lol. I nearly kept weeding the garden instead of watching. I should of known better than to come on and watch.

Spineless 2nd half performance.

Poch needs to maintain his fitness rule reardless who the player is. Kane was useless and clearly isn't fit. I thought we managed fine without Kane.

 

[samspurs92]

It's about mentalty, we simply don't take cups seriously enough.

Yeah because the manager keeps fucking saying he doesn’t care about them.

The self fulfilling prophecy.

 

[Romulus]

I'm completely deflated

 

[SpursSince1980]

hubris. Sorta bit us in the butt again. Vorm starting over Lloris and Toby on the bench, when it’s been clear recently that Sanchez might be tired. Kane starts again despite being awful recently. And no desire to change tactics. Once Utd equalized, there was only ever one winner I’m afraid. Our form at the moment has been horrible. Hopefully we can snap out of it be next Monday and at least secure CL for next season.

When it really, really matters, this team is no better than the one under Redknapp whichever way you want to cut the cake. Full of over hyped players, who according to some on here need to be paid another thirty or forty grand a week more!

This summer again we will rinse and repeat any one or two will go, knowing that wherever they end up they are only a season off winning something.

How can anyone blame them?

Same shit mate different year that is the only difference

 

[The Apprentice]

Absolutely no idea what Poch was doing with that switch. Shifted Alli deep into an area he adds nothing and we lose his presence in the box. Removing all width. Just take fucking Son off, who was having an absolute nightmare.

Kane barely broke sweat.

Last year, I thought we were unlucky. Today, it was just thoroughly lacklustre. That second half was a horror show.

Eriksen must wonder what he’s doing, our only hope is wait for him to do anything.

 

[spursfan77]

Same semi final on repeat.

Someone change the channel

Yep. I don’t know how much more of this disappointment I can take. This one has really got to me.

 

[paulcumpstone]

dier, verts and eriksen can hold their heads up high, the rest of them weren't in the game, we so desperately need better fullbacks. tripps only trait is to cross and he seems to not want to do that recently. davies is steady without actually being good at anything, aurier is too rash and cant cross and rose clearly don't want to be here. poch has some serious decisions to make as we are weaker than we were last year.

 

[WiganSpur]

Whether it is the manager or not I don't know, but I have a feeling it will be the next manager after Pochettino that might lead us to trophies. Pochettino has taken us so far, but will we make this next step under him? I really hope we can but i'm not 100% sure yet.

It just feels like Pochettino has put in all the groundwork, maybe it will be our next manager that will reap the rewards.

 

[Mullers]

Spursy.
Arsenal win the Europa.
Liverpool win the CL.
We miss out on fourth.

 

[ackie]

The CL and this game reveals MoPo weakness and lack of tactical sense and motivation.
Said the wrong think publicly prior to this game.
Made the subs somewhat too late.
We lose our best players because we always fail to win something.
Players want trophies and medals - well and money too.
Sad day...

 

[yiddopaul]

We've not looked on it for about three games now. I'm seriously worried about our remaining fixtures. This has echos of two years ago.

 

[mpickard2087]

Really, really annoyed with Poch after that. Fair enough if you lose but go down fighting, we didn't - but I'm hesitant to blame the players because as it stands some of them, through injury/fatigue/whatever, don't have anything in the tank and just cant muster the fight. The signs have been there in the last few games, yet he's ploughed on with pretty much the same team regardless, seemingly in hope rather than the evidence we are all seeing.

In the remaining fixtures, to nail that CL spot, we need to select 11 players that can put in that energy, desire, and work rate that we have when we play at our best, no matter which names do/do not get left out...... Because currently we are limping towards the finish line of the season.


Not happy.

 

[Cravenspurs]

For me it's not the professionalism, it's big players but showing up bar Eriksen.

Is that not professionalism? Showing up to the job? Symantics imo

 

[slartibartfast]

Dunno what’s going on, looks like a different team, how has Kane’s form dipped so much? Top 4 an absolute must!

Kanes form??? Hes feeding off scraps. How many chances did he miss?
Wasnt even fed 1 half chance all bloody game.
He cant dribble around 4 and smack it in top corner every game!

 

[SdB]

Anyone calling us legends is a prick incapable of controlling their emotions but sometimes it does feel like we're cursed

Fuck that one hurt

Cursed lol.

legends is more accurate than cursed

 

[rabbikeane]

We're not about trophies, haven't been for decades.

Anyone calling us legends is a prick incapable of controlling their emotions but sometimes it does feel like we're cursed

Well, people like you say that today, and the time before that, and then the time before that, and the time before that.
It's not about us dropping the ball today, would be kneejerk reacion if it was only about today. I
t's the pattern of it happening everytime we get close and the pressure is on.

 

[SpursSince1980]

Yep. I don’t know how much more of this disappointment I can take. This one has really got to me.

Because it felt inevitable.

 

[shelfboy68]

Players looked tired, a long season of nearly performances. Going to be a tough slog to pick the players up now

And the excuse for Utd they played the same amount of games
