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

[Sweetsman]

I think he's taken Lloris out of the firing line, because if he dropped a clanger or two today it may really affect his confidence in the run-in. I'm not sure there's a major difference between the two at the moment to take a categorical stand on the matter.

Dropping our first-choice keeper (and captain) is bold.

Notice Utd haven’t fielded Romero, but plucked for DDG.

He's not been dropped, Vorm starts all our cup matches.

Also Romero is injured.

Vorm is a big call but he could be a breath of fresh air in this. Last thing we needed would have been Lloris turning up being a bag of nerves.

Imperative today will be to score more than they do. Do that, and it will tip in our favour.

Disagree, we need to focus on our defence and make sure that we concede fewer than they do. That's how the war will be won.

Vorm deserves this start. I love Hugo but he's had a slight dip in form, and it would be unfair on Vorm to put him in.

We will have to wait and see I guess but personally I have little faith in Vorm hope I am wrong and it turns out to be a fantastic decision.

I get that. But this is the biggest game of our season. Lloris is our best goalkeeper and is our captain.

Fair enough re Romero.

 

[WiganSpur]

At least Vorm would likely be a better option to save a penalty if it came to it.

 

[Grey Fox]

I'm in a real dilemma today, let me explain. I have worn different lucky pants, socks and tops for home and away games for the last two seasons. The only times I haven't been able to we have lost. Because we have been drawn away, but playing at so called home, do I wear home or away stuff? The Mrs has come up with wear both, which I'm doing, but its bloody hot!

If we win you can thank me and if we lose you can blame the FA for the confusion

Had a bbq going, few beers and then the rain came. Hope it's not an omen. Coys

It is an omen: it means that you have to use the oven.

If Lloris was in good form I think Pochettino would have gone with him tbh

 

[keenu]

Why is everyone saying Hugo has been dropped? Vorm has started all our fa cup games and I expect him to start the final too if we go through. Would have been harsh on Vorm if he didn't start.

Yep agreed regardless Lloris hasn't been "dropped"

I would have started with Toby in a back 3 and had Son on the bench. It is understandable why Poch don't play Toby though.. Fairly happy with the team nevertheless.

 

[Inq]

Gonna be sittin at a pub here in Canada at 10am to watch the game with probably a crowd of 98% manc. I’d rather not get heckled by a bunch of Canadians today. Hoping for son to be an absolute menace today and vorm to step it up COYS

I guess Harry is Skipper

 

[Pellshek]

Lloris hasn't been dropped. Poch is playing our regular cup keeper.

Wasn't sure, so had to ask.
