Late match thread...

It's great we reached the final, but the players must realise they will get thumped if they will play like they did over two legs against a Championship side. Credit where credits are due, so, well played Blades!

Edit: A League One side!

Its great to reach the final, but yet again how hard did we make it for ourselves ? We were in total control of the game for an hour or so, however we created enough chances to be 3 or 4 up on the night. Then out of the blue, Poch takes off who I thought were our best 2 players, Lamela & Dembele, and brings on Townsend & Paulinho ffs, and what with their subs, the whole game changed, and with the help of our shaky defence we very nearly blew it. Once again our new hero Eriksen saved the day. Walt Disney couldn't write a better story.

At the risk of repeating the obvious we really mast do something about our comical defending, and buy a striker !!

What is important is that we are going to the final under Pochettino's first season. He isn't doing too bad in the league either. Full credit to him.

Agreed Voice. A very good article by Patrick Barclay in the Evening Standard yesterday , he said whatever happens at Wembley, and indeed the rest of the season, Spurs MUST stick with this young manager, and allow him to shape his own team over the next few years.
I could not agree more. I really do think we have found the right man at last. He is doing an unbelievable job with someone elses players mostly.

A lot of the criticism at  the beginning of the season was unfair. Pochettino is finding his feet and I think he is doing a very good job. Usually first season's are written off. I still believe, though, that we still need another striker, but I am sure Pochettino knows what he is doing.

I was at the match and the weather was terrible. I thought we might not make it, but luckily I managed to get there with about 30 minutes to spare.

Spurs deserved to win, but didn't  make it easy for themselves. Now we are in the Final and I am looking forward to it. We have beaten Chelsea and of course they have beaten us on their ground. However, our victory was more impressive, which might rattle them.

I agree about the weather Jane, I was also there and missed a few minutes of the start because of it. There was a lot of hold ups on the motorways. But a good match with Sheffield United pushing us all the way. Now we go to Wembley in, I hope, a great cup day and match. Before then a few league matches to deal with.
