Tottenham Vs Sheffield United: Leg 1 Match Thread

It's in the bag is this one

Fair play Sheffield United - 45 places beneath us - industrious and they went for it.
I'd hope our counter-attacking away form should see us through next week.
COYS.
Side note: Anyone else feel that MoPO is really starting to get his thing going - I even have (red wine) thoughts that players like Paulhino and Dembele might yet come good. (Still bit at a loss for Andros though!)

a win is a win,... on to the second leg -- COYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was shit we never turned up now we have it all to do there very dissapointing performance.
Poch talked about playing at a high tempo before the game yet we just strolled around during it,luckily they didnt look like scoring so we have got away with it.

 

[chrissivad]

We need to create much more chances for us to get through next week.

but saying that, how many saves did vorm make?

 

[annie]

Some very average performances tonight

 

[mpickard2087]

Absolutely rubbish. Very disappointed with that. Its not the result... I expected two pretty close games, its just I watched that and got the impression we weren't trying to win... Coz if we were, then we didn't have a clue.

Gonna be a battle next week, one I hope we are up for.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

If tonight proves anything, its that we have nothing on the flanks worth taking about. Everything tonight went through the middle, exactly where SUFC would have wanted it. Need to make investment there whether it be this month or the summer. Crying out for genuine wingers.

 

[riggi]

Can see them nicking it next week. Their ground will be buzzing and I just think the occasion will be theirs.

We could save a lot of money at the new stadium
by not putting backs on the seats,
Who sits back and relaxes?
I spend most of the game on the edge of mine.

 

[The Apprentice]

To a man we under performed. The lack of imagination in our midfield.

I really hope Ade never plays again. Total waste of space.

The two full backs were utter garbage.

We've made it more difficult than it needed to be.

 

[IfiHadTheWings]

One step closer to wembley...and we are the famous Tottenham hotspur...do u reckon Ossies knees are all trembley?

 

[eddiev14]

Meh...

 

[DaSpurs]

Their pitch is significantly larger than ours, especially wider. We typically fare much better on the wider pitches.

 

[Shea]

II'm happy because the result is better than the performance deserved

But I suspect we will have to play much better next week to make the final

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Not really gonna complain but should we have been playing the final 15 minutes against 10 men??

Second yellow for deliberate hand ball??

 

[dirtyh]

big plus that there was no away goal.

other than that, I'd rather have rolled in dog sick. coys, just once don't fuck it up.

 

[Wellspurs]

Did vorm realise it was two legs? He was wasting time after the goal!

 

[rossdapep]

Gotta say that was highly frustrating to watch and a clear showing that some of the players don't possess the intelligence when on the attack. Far far too many bad decisions despite their organised defending.

We won't sign one now but I really hope poch, Mitchell and co are looking at passing specialists in midfield. Eriksen is the closest we have but relies on flashes rather than dictating a game, also he's better in the 10 or Lam role.

 

[gushayes11]

So many teams come to the Lane and play like that. Sit deep and frustrate, it's not rocket science once we've been watched a couple of times. We need some more clever players, move the ball quicker and a striker with some serious pace.
