It is nice to beat Swansea to qualify to the FA Cup semifinal. We played well and deserve to get a bigger win. Thought we would have problems due to our weak midfield but Swansea didn't really trouble us apart from 1 or 2 occasions. We do need to learn to be more clinical in front of goal, especially when we play in the semi final against ManU. Let's hope we will go all the way to win the FA Cup this season.
Well done to Eriksen and Lamela for the goals. They both played well and deserved their goals. Credit to Lamela for assisting our first goal for Eriksen as well. Amazingly, all our goals were brilliant long range shots from outside the penalty box. Can't remember us scoring so many long range goals in the same match before. It must have been a long time ago, if any. This shows that we need to try those long range shots more, especially against teams who defend a lot like Swansea. It is good to know we can still score goals even when our main goal scorer Kane is injured. Interestingly, we have now scored 7 goals in 2 matches since Kane got injured. Let's hope we can continue our goal scoring run until Kane comes back. Son failed to score this time despite scoring 7 goals in his last 4 matches for us. Son did score a good goal but it was ruled out for offside in the first half and he didn't look like scoring after that.
Was worried to see Dier and Sissoko start in midfield. Thought it was risky of Pochettino to start a weak midfield against an-inform Swansea team. Fortunately, our midfield played well and didn't make too many mistakes. In fact, Sissoko even assisted the goal for Lamela. Too bad Moura didn't score but he did well to assist the third goal for Eriksen.
Our defence didn't have much to do whole match. But Vorm did make 2 or 3 good saves to stop Swansea. Good to see Vorm being alert on those occasion as he tends to let in easy goals before. Too bad Alderweireld didn't start or come on as a sub in this match. Felt Pochettino should have brought him in later in the match.
Now that we are in the FA Cup semifinal, we need to find a way to overcome the jinx as we have lost our last 7 FA Cup semifinals. Southampton would have been an ideal opponents in the semi final. But since we have got ManU, we need to lift our game to beat them at Wembley to progress to the FA Cup Final for the first time since 1991. For the record, we beat ManU in the FA Cup semi final before winning the FA Cup Final in 1962. Let's hope we will go all the way to win the FA Cup again this season.
