You know what managers are like, Tom. It is part of their job description to talk shite.
I wouldn't reach for the excuse that we were beaten by better teams. We crashed out to some awful muck, managing to look like a confused mess in the process. For every Juventus or Chelsea, there was a Crystal Palace or a Gent. That's why cup football is exciting. You don't have to have the best/better team.
Why should we go for someone like Jiminez, anyway? Why not someone like Marcus Thuram? He's far more versatile and intelligent. And a better athlete, too. Stronger, quicker, and can beat a man.
Neves is just a systems player, who only wants to receive the ball when he is facing the play. He has no pace and not much intensity, and never has to cover much ground because Wolves play such a pragmatic brand of football.
If we are serious about Jiminez, I think it's goodbye Harry.
And, as you said yesterday, he's 29. Utterly pointless.
Utterly pointless. And yet you have people catastrophizing that we don't have a pot to piss in.
Oh we absolutely lost to some gunk for sure. But there’s a big difference between losing to a minnow in an early round and being beaten in a semi final or final. Usually at that stage, the cream rises to the top.
As someone pointed out the other day when scrutinising big games... We were the form team when going into the semi's vs Chavs & Utd + the LC final. Against Utd we were essentially at home too..... Gutting! ...We should have won it that year.
I wouldn't describe that Man Utd team as cream, Tom. And as you have pointed out once or twice, they were being managed by a dinosaur.
For some reason, this guy who I MUST have seen x amount of times has left no lasting impression. Was I not paying attention or is the hyperbole just that.? Spin for the market.

There's no point anyway. We need defenders or nothing is going to change.
RESPECT THE COCK
Do you rate this Malang Sarr guy? If so he could be quite a good solution would allow us to let Vertonghen leave and sell Foyth while bringing in a LEFT-FOOTED replacement on a FREE
Must have been in the Jurassic era.
Still though. They’re still United and we were still Tottenham. A bit of Jose shithousery coupled with Spursy luck = guaranteed broken Spurs hearts.
Form team? Huh? In the semis and final against Chavs on both occasions they were on the verge of winning the league man!
United fair enough, but as I said to Five it was still Manchester United in a Cup semi final and we were still Spurs who’d won fuck all in 20 odd years. The pressure was all on us. No matter who was managing United it was never going to easy.

Atrocious player, IMO. Weak, slow, poor on the ball, doesn't read the game well.
Perhaps 'form team' is the incorrect expression.... In each case we'd recently and convincingly beaten said team.
Ha ha got my answer. Ok didn't know too much about him . I trust you. Guess that's not a good solution
My solution is someone totally under the radar.
Lloyd Kelly.
Played for Bristol City last season. Bournemouth bought him but he hasn't played for them this season. Normally plays LB, but he played LCB for England U21s.
I would use him as a LCB.
