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

[dirtyh]

We’ll never win anything until we master the dark arts that all the winning teams are experts at. Doesn’t help when the ref doesn’t send off players for clear offences but still, as soon as we went behind it was never in doubt. Time wasting, diving, cheating, it’s ugly as fuck but that’s what winners do.

This one hurts more than the others because;

1.) This team SHOULD be getting to finals.
2.) We've been at Wembley all season and should have been well prepared for this.
3.) I don't rate this United team at all.
4.) We got our noses in front and looked like we were well up for it, only to completely fade once they equalised.
5.) It qualifies other fans opinions that Spurs will let you down. (although I don't really care)
6.) Poch got shown up by Mourinho when it really matters.

Gutted

We were better team last season with Walker, Rose and Toby in the back 4. We haven't really progressed.

 

[dagraham]

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

You’re such a rational thinking hero.

 

[rabbikeane]

Dont know why anyone would want to buy these legends at overinflated prices.

The players will perform and win things at their next club, it's just us that will be stuck with an empty trophy cabinet

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

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!

We've really missed Winks setting the tempo imo

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

Said last week against city that we bottled it and Kane was anonymous and got spammed to fuck ,well ditto this week so spam away !

...and the inner fighting begins.

There are very few times in my life that I've been as angry at a player- or anyone at all - than I was at Dembele as the equaliser went in. That is a truly unforgivable error that he should absolutely never, ever make.

After 1-1, we weren't good enough. Created virtually nil apart from Dier's deflection off the post, and nothing at all second half.

Credit to Man U for a good second half defensive display, though I also feel Vorm should've done better with the winner. He's not positioned right, in the right position he saves that with his legs.

Because we have limited strength in depth

In some regards, not sure I would put it down to that. Take today for instance, you could argue there was a lack of strength in the starting 11, if you were to look at the fullbacks (even though for his limited ability I thought Trippier played well) but in terms of depth itself I think it was mostly there. Today's match has really hit home that we don't yet have the mentality. Like said, United play dog shit but may have 3 trophies in 2 seasons.

We were better team last season with Walker, Rose and Toby in the back 4. We haven't really progressed.

This has clearly got nothing to do with individual players. There was more than enough quality out there for us to win.

 

[überghost]

Margins... moment of the game was Eric hitting the post. That one goes in and there is another winner.

 

[Swalien]

Can't believe Poch practically gave the tie away with his pre match comments. Does he not realise that our long history of failure would change if we managed to win something again.

Same old disappointing Tottenham, the club has absolutely no belief in itself to be able to achieve any success in any competition. This needs to change big time.

 

[tiger666]

We are legends and thats a fact. We dont win when it counts. We are so fucking shite. Another trophy less season good job spurs u fucking twats

Thank god you don't post more often.

 

[Thewobbler]

the manager isn't bothered by the 'consolation' prize so why is everyone else?

 

[Sophos151]

I'm going to be honest, after this I've absolutely lost hope for this club to win silverware.

Sure, we play great stuff, we win a lot of games, but we always always fall short when it matters. That's eight FA Cup semi-finals we've lost since we last reached the final. Honestly, what's the point in all that Pochettino has done if it hasn't brought us any closer to actually winning something?

We started well today, but as usual in big games, our finishing was poor. Then, Dembele fucked up massively, turning into danger and losing the ball on the edge of our box, and it cost us not just a goal, but the game. From that moment on, I don't think we created a genuine chance.

The second United took the lead, I think we all knew it was over. The players' heads dropped, and we didn't look at all like scoring. Even into injury time, we were passing it back and forth sluggishly outside of the box, with no movement up front, no one standing up to be counted, no one stepping up to be a hero.

And what was our captain doing? He was sitting on the bench. Our vice captain, meanwhile, was nowhere to be seen. Who's going to inspire our players on to get a result? No one.

 

[hutchiniho]

Bitterly disappointed...but no complaints....just not good enough

I’ve got a ton of complaints. We should be winning semi finals with the talent we have in our current team. We are more than good enough. Why can we not get over the line and win something?

 

[shelfboy68]

Mourhino had our one dimensional game sussed diagonal ball into the corner play then all squeezed into the middle easy and predictable to defend against like Brighton did.

 

[shelfmonkey]

I'm lucky I didn't watch because I has to go out to dinner. Glad I didn't watch last thing I needed was more stress before tomorrow!

If you had watched it, you'd be committing suicide by intentionally choking on a king prawn and violently fighting off efforts to save you!

 

[Bobbins]

Shout out for Dier today who I honestly think was our best player and really looked like he gave a shit.

Wouldn’t blame him if he was off in the summer.
