Brilliant! And just for my benefit could you tell me what earth shatteringly positive substitution you would have made given who was on the bench?
I found it hugely frustrating that when Eriksen had the chance to shoot he passed to Rose. Little tweaks like that are required. Trippier simply doesn't try and do enough creatively to cut past someone, he bails out too often. He should start two more games this season and that's Bournemouth away and Everton at home. Good value for £3.5m but not good value for his edge onnthe football pitch.
In all fairness though, 2 days rest before a semi final like this is a calamity. It simply shouldn't be happening when players are dropping dead on a football pitch more frequently than ever before. The league needs to sort itself out, the game vs West Ham should have been played Friday
not really any other options.
I’d agree that they gave everything they had second half. But the first half, no. Sorry too many of them paused and wanted others to take responsibility. I am very angry at a lot of our players for that first half.
I saw enough tonight to know this game isn't over yet. Don't underestimate the importance of Son playing instead of Llorente next week pal as well as a 90 minute Sissoko
Yes. You are probably right. I am letting my anger cloud my judgement a little maybe.
It looks that way atm-fully behind giving him more of a chance but he really does look like he lacks a footballing brain tbh.
Gazziniga up top. Skipp for Lloris.
The point ( and it’s a sledgehammer obvious point ) is not really about tonight. It’s about how the squad has been left so very short of options that that is the option.
We 've got the beating of these....we need eriksen and dele to turn up next week, ajax are decent but nothing more..
nothing to be afraid off imho...

Tonight broke my heart. I don't think the tie is dead. Iam going out to the Dam with a very remote chance of ticket but my heart was broken none the less. Danny Rose has always been my touch stone. He is the heart beat of this side and he was brilliant tonight but yet not good enough, the sight of Danny Rose playing to the edge of his capabilities yet still not enough at the very highest level broke me. We have got so far but we really need to look at whose going to get at us to the next level. Danny's lack of final ball is not good enough for a team that wants to win the league or champions league and that breaks my heart. Hopefully I will be proven wrong come on you Spurs.
It's football, crazier shit has happened than a mistake or a moment of magic seeing us through, but we don't have a vintage Poch blinder of a performance in us.
He is a good player and has qualities about him, but just not really suited to us IMV. I think I've said it before but he has all the hallmarks of becoming one of those centre backs that is good, but at the same time is targeted by the opposition because there's always a big fuck up in him waiting to happen.
Micky knows the kind of fighting talk required:
They had their chance tonight with what was a Carabao Cup first XI, winners will make them pay. Fight until the end, this will be in the back of their minds 100%

You’re not predicting it
But you’re predicting they will score two
Lmfao
It’s far from over. Get sonny firing next week, and you never know.
Also, as ever I sat in 1882, and stood for the entire game with my mates that all sit in 1882. We sang loud all game, and stood all game the south stand.
The odd person that says 1882 don’t have it well, come and stand with my brothers and me, and see if you enjoy it. More than happy to demonstrate that we try and create an atmosphere. Anyway, I’ll see ya in the dam. COYS

I'm not ready for that optimism just yet, all i see is a dark cloud bearing the words "Sissoko to be assessed" in the next few days
