*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

[afsoc4life]

United is a fair 13th în the league team. You are 3-0 up at home. Can't defend what happened next...

I agree. We let them back into the game with unforced errors.

 

[SpurMeUp]

2 legs feels like we are less likely to get screwed over. I'd prefer to knock them out now lol

You think stillettos over your 2 legs is somehow going to help?

 

[El Guepardo]

I beg to disagree United have a far stronger squad than ours.

No they don’t. Our first eleven against their first eleven is definitely better and our squad has equal depth I think. We just have a lot of players out right now.

I think it will be victims. I remember every manager game you would draw your next available opponent în the league. That has stuck with me even after decades.

Thats why I thought we would draw them this round with us playing them this weekend.

The next league game after the Semi-final 1st leg is....Arsenal away

 

[SteveAWOL]

Over two legs I'll take anyone.
Especially as it's not for a while yet and we should have players back.

The first leg is in just 3 weeks time, so we’ll still be without van de Ven and Romero plus Vicario.

Hopefully less faffing about at the back in that game!

I agree. We let them back into the game with unforced errors.

They were both forced errors but just not errors we should have made.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Son is having a decent season. He has changed how he plays but he’s getting the goal contributions. I think he can increase those further too as he’s cutting more into the middle again last couple of matches.

Yes, and one of those bending shots he does is going to curl in the top corner soon, and he will go on one of his mini scoring runs

 

[yiddo37]

Are the semi’s still two legs ? Because I just can’t see us winning over two legs against Chelski or the scum.

Barcodes maybe.

United are pretty awful. We just go from sublime to pub team in the blink of an eye. It’s actually scary.

Yes 2 legs.
Chelsea are out.
I want Saudi Sportswashing Machine, our best chance of getting to Wembley IMHO

Part of "killing a game" as a big team playing ambitious football surly includes keeping possession under pressure even at the back, including the goalkeeper.

Forster made two errors, it's rate to see two, but we've seen way better keepers than him make similar errors. It happens. The tactical approach is sound.

Thought it was a good win. We showed our attacking quality, but also had to show character and did so well.

Not only injuries (1 first choice player in the back 5 starting the game), but also fatigue and really limited options on the bench. Some of what we did was really impressive, I say don't let that be overshadowed by two individual errors by our backup goalkeeper.

 

[DubSpur]

You are aware we were 3-0 up prior to Foster donating 2 goals? What more would you like?

Not let Utd dominate after we concede. Slow the game, change what is causing us problems and see out a 3-1 boring final 20-25 mins.

No they don’t. Our first eleven against their first eleven is definitely better and our squad has equal depth I think. We just have a lot of players out right now.

Our squad doesn't have their depth. First 11 can stand against their first 11 but beyond that, we have some ground to make up in terms of quality and experience.

 

[Sandman]

The first leg is in just 3 weeks time, so we’ll still be without van de Ven and Romero plus Vicario.

Hopefully less faffing about at the back in that game!

We need to sign a keeper that is more suited to ball playing. If you are not going to adjust the system to accommodate his deficiencies then we need a more suited player.

Is he really out for that long? Didnt realise that

Experience but not quality
Their squad players have reputations but won’t suit this football for a start

Would like to see us go after Kelleher in January.

 

[Robspur12]

That's not on Ange, the not being smarter, the not slowing the game and killing it is on Ange.

It's sort of a bit on Ange if you are expecting a keeper who is not great with his feet to pass out from the back and invite the press. You just know what victims will do on Sunday.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

That when a bentacur would be a great option
Instead we had 17 year olds on the bench

 

[Jordinho]

Ended up running our midfielders into the ground by not managing the game. Forster fudged up, but also made some outstanding saves. It's on Ange to get the most he can from this squad.

 

[glasgowspur]

We won, utd gifted us three goals, why are sky slating us and not utd?

Son is having a decent season. He has changed how he plays but he’s getting the goal contributions. I think he can increase those further too as he’s cutting more into the middle again last couple of matches.

I think people need to just change what they expect of Son. He's adapting his game to the fact he is undoubtedly going to be less explosive and he will cover less ground. He is starting to find those pockets to be more effective in a different way. He's still an intelligent player and a world class finisher.
