First time I’ve enjoyed us play for AGES.

Our horrendous squad depth coming back to haunt us.

Seriously though great win. Let’s win this cup, we need it.

@Trees Spam rate me as much as you like, but the plain truth is we have been shit for a long time, but somehow we keep winning, so I stand by my statement.

That was great - love seeing some of our fringe players do well - Foyth looks fantastic.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

We will all be putting Foyth at CDM in our teams against thread now!

To be fair, he looks like our best CB!

 

[SpursSince1980]

is the draw tonight?

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

Anyone betting against Arsenal or Chelsea next round? Got a feeling its london derbies most of the way.

At last a proper team performance, so many positives. Foyth was outstanding, Sanchez, Aurier and KWP also did very well as did Winks and Wanyama. Great to see Son back in the goals and smiling again. Eriksen had a decent game too, Alli was average but it was vital match practice. Gazzaniga made a very good save but was a liability at corners and his kicking is shocking. Glad Llorente got a goal but other than that he was a spectator.

Team performance, what a difference playing 2 quick full backs makes, hopefully they both start against Wolves and not the sloth’s.

 

[Mighty Spurs]

I thought that our B team performed very well tonight. Great to see young Skipp come on.

 

[yankspurs]

Aurier or KWP werent necessarily great but honestly, MUCH better performances than Trippier or Davies have had all season so one of them should start at RB on Saturday. Winks and Son played well. Foyth and Sanchez were great. Dele, Eriksen and Llorente were okay. Wanyama was, in a word, shit. Those injuries have really taken there toll sadly.

 

[King of Otters]

20 dreadful minutes in the second half, but a good performance other than that. Closed the game out well after 3-1.

Delighted for Foyth, Winks and Skipp for his debut. KWP and Aurier failed to impress, but worst of all was Wanyama. He's lost it after 18 months of injury problems and I don't have much faith he'll get back to 16/17 level any time soon.

I thought Wanyama was better tonight.

 

[spursfan77]

think aurier has looked ok at left back, as natural as davies ever looks out there anyway

I’d play him there v Wolves. Davies hasn’t been good enough

 

[mpickard2087]

It was never comfortable, they probably had the best 'moments' in and around goal throughout, but neither were we ever hanging on and we scrambled well when required. Managed to play at a fairly low tempo, rotate the squad, give some youngsters minutes, and book our place in the next round. Not bad all in all.

Its like America trying to secure the border with Mexico...the distances are just too vast to police properly.
Maybe West Ham should build a wall?

Hernadez should surely pay for it.

 

[tooey]

Thought the scapegoats...sorry full backs were shit tonight, we should sell them now along with Trippier and Davies and play the fastest youth players we have there.

The guys made some lovely open field tackles and kicked the soccer ball very well offensively.

This is either a poor attempt at satire or a poor attempt at analysis.

yep but hard to say whether it will be to keep them in or out!

 

[King of Otters]

I thought that our B team performed very well tonight. Great to see young Spidd comeon.

 

[ardiles]

They really have a problem with idiots running onto their pitch

Can’t blame them. They just wanted to get a better view of the match.
