Match Tottenham Hotspur v. Manchester United - F.A. Cup Semi-Final

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The vorm selection was completley the correct decision.

Hugo has been terrible lately and has made nunerous costly mistakes. Add to that Virm has played every round until now. Add to that Poch brought Hugo back in last seasons semi and he proceeded to concede 4 goals.

Poch made the right call there.
How the fuck can you say that when he has just cost us a place in the final. Fuck sentiment just play your strongest side ffs
 
If you think our CB and GK was the difference between winning and losing today and not our front line, you simply have no idea about football.

We were atrocious up top.

Not sure if you noticed this, but Toby is not just "A CB". He helps us to play better offensively with his long passes that set the team off. It's not like all he does is defend...
 
There is something missing in that team, we're not going to win anything with that teams as it is. It's not a question of ability, it's to do with attitude and fucking mentality, they seem to give up and they have done that a few times in very important games.
 
Really? I'm not.

I mean to say, I don't support them any less but there's been fuck all to have been proud of of late.

Proud of shouldering arms to City?

Proud of treating Brighton like a pre-season game?

Proud of giving up in a semi-fimal after 20 minutes?

Proud of having your best CB suddenly decide he wants to leave?

Proud of having the highest paid chairman in the league, above every single player in our team?

Proud that every single transfer window we cheap out or act too late?

The only thing to be proud of is the academy and the new stadium.
 
We certainly done well against an out of form Real Madrid side who are still in the Champions League and we also done well outplaying Juventus before they KNOCKED US OUT of the competition.

We beat Chelsea and Woolwich well. Both clubs are below us.

Peaking doesn't mean we're shit. It just means this current crop have taken us as far as they can. Just slightly not good enough to win the league or win us honours but provide us with an entertaining team and give us a new identity. One of which Pochettino has had a hand in.

Bullshit. Kane, Dele, Dier, Son and Sanchez haven't peaked yet. Not even close. And I think Vertonghen, Alderveireld, Lloris and Wanyama haven't played their best seasons yet.
 
You're a lost cause if you think Vorm was the one that cost us the semi.
So lets just ignore the fact he let a herrera shot that went straight down the middle go in, that must of been Deles fault. We were shit in the second half but Vorm is definitely at fault for the goal that has won Utd the game and he should be criticized as should Poch the same way we would all be criticizing Hugo had he let a goal in like that.
 
How can anyone blame Vorm for costing us this game?

If anyone should be blamed it's Dembele. Bullied for the equaliser and lost Herrera for the winner.

I'm not saying he should be blamed as I think the whole team is to blame for their lacklustre performance.
