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

[HildoSpur]

I think your being hopeful by next summer, I think we will lose some this summer. The Walker trophies this year will have turned a few of our players heads, I can see Dier going along with Toby, Rose, Dembele. I think Harry will give us another year.

Eriksen and Alli I am unsure on, whether they will commit or not, big few weeks with contract talks before the world cup, but if I am honest, I couldn't blame them if they left.

This is a huge summer for Levy but for me I am not expecting anything. I didn't believe any of the shit spouted in January about we have lined up big deals in summer etc and I still don't now

Nearly men as always and see this squad falling apart now, all because Levy again did not back his manager and get some serious leaders in this squad, instead we are full of kids and bottlejobs

Harry will be here for a few years yet - Rose, Toby and Dembele are all gone imo - Dier might go if the right offer comes in too.

Thankfully I was a teenager in the 80s.
We had winners then.

How? Did their keeper make a save in the 2nd half ?

Utterly clueless in breaking down teams who park the bus.

Odd decisions by Poch in the subs
Bring on genuine pace in Moura and play him central and then drop Dele deep

I'm not sure if you're drunk. Or you don't pay attention to your own posts. When I said "We played better", I was in fact agreeing with you when you said we did fine without Kane. Now you're arguing with yourself.

Another year without a trophy...
Dembele didn't move the ball quick enough and directly led to the first United goal. I wish Winks was healthy and in form as he would have been a far better sub than Wanyama. I agree with many of you that we need to upgrade the LB position, Davies is a good player but we need more in big matches like this one and Juventus etc...

We didn't lose because they have world class players. Sanchez and De Gea are their only world-class players. Pogba has World class ability but no consistency. They have some good other players a few average ones. I'd argue we had more World Class players out there today that them.

Well maybe on paper, but not at full time today ?!!

 

[rossdapep]

He's a leader though, and he's won trophies.

I get what you are saying but so too have Vertonghen, Sanchez and Eriksen.

If Dembele does go (and based on todays performance maybe it's time) I feel this is an area that needs great experience and a winner.

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Yeah I don't like to get on his case because he has improved a lot and I never would have thought we'd have a practically a whole campaign with him as our left back. I just still feel he's a bit basic, does everything to a good standard, but also doesn't excel in anything.

He's great at hitting the first man.

He didn't do much against Chelsea when we let in four against Chelsea last year.

I'm talking about major trophies.

A lot of people saying make a statement signing.....START BY SIGNING TOBY TO A NEW CONTRACT.

GET IT DONE LEVY.......simple as

Agree but never gonna happen. Toby is clearly gone

Poch is again putting our chance of trophies at jeopardy so he can just do what Levy wants, its clear Levy and Toby agents have fallen out and he now cant get a game. Our best CB last year cant get in our first 11 for a SF cup game

Sorry but Poch needs to learn fast, fans are turning!

You don't need all the money in the world to win the FA or League Cup.

Really? I suggest you look at a list of fa cup winners for the last 20 years. Theees a 'non rich club winner' about 1 in 8 times of that.

 

[RichieS]

A lack in both of those hasn't held back Arsenal. We take the piss out of the Gooners but I'd give my right arm to see Spurs win three FA Cups within a space of four seasons.

Go and compare the wage bills and then come back.

 

[fuzzylogic]

There's so much I could say but I'll can it for another day. Very disappointed

 

[shelfboy68]

No excuse, they are mentally stronger than us. The difference between being winners and nearly men

Is the correct answer

 

[Gb160]

what if you never gave Hugo stick and you call for him over Vorm? Why the fuck is Vorm starting this game? Hugo is hands down a better keeper and this was a really really important game.

Going by that logic Vorm would only play when Hugos injured.
You only get a 2nd keeper as good as Vorm by promising him gametime.
Otherwise you get a 2nd rate 2nd keeper, and if your first keeper gets a bad injury you're proper fucked.

We have the players to win a league cup or FA Cup. We aren't exactly paupers are we?

And they only sporn their way there because the better teams they play underestimate them.

 

[Vulcan10]

Feels like a turning point today. This team won’t ever do anything. They just can’t

Every cup competition this year, we’ve been gone ahead and somehow lost the tie

Hard to disagree with this as much as I wish I could.

Will take a mega summer of sensational recruitment, not going to happen is it.

Always hurts going out of the fa cup. Today more than normal.

 

[SdB]

If you were a decent player at Spurs would you stay if a winning club came in for you?

Walker already has medals

 

[ajspurs]

It really helped pulling Dele deeper in the last 15 minutes.

WTF was that all about

Yeah it was pointless really, especially as he's the best at finding gaps behind the line, even if there weren't many. Essentially though United just completely camped out in that 2nd half and we didn't know how to deal with it.

 

[Sweetsman]

Kane did nothing for us today.
