Cheers.

I'm just flattered that @JMT first thought after winning an FA cup game was of me. I've gone all weak at the knees.


Good luck for the rest of the competition.
Whats the general feeling about spurs fans regarding Mourinho, is everyone still onboard?
 

Mad that they bottled it against us, especially as we tried our best to bottle it ourselves. I thought the only team bad enough to do that was actually us but clearly I was wrong
 

I thought Lucas Moura played well last night tbf.

The others not so much. Davies was very poor and Doherty just can't play well in a back 4. It was a strange piece of recruitment though to sign a player to play full back, who has only ever been a wing back.
The Doherty transfer seemed wrong in many ways
 

Just noticed a clip of our counter attack at 5-4 where lloris saved from Sigurdsson. Deli Alli made virtually no effort to chase back after Gylfi and ended up 10 yards behind. Gylfi had played 105 mins, he had played 25. I can kind of see why Jose just ain't having it. I'd have been fuming if it was one of our players.
Did you notice the response by Godfrey when he lost possession in Spurs half in the first half of the game?

He raced back with arms pumping like a sprinter and got into a good position in the box. Proper footballer that lad.
 
They look like a team that is less than the sum of its parts at the moment. I don't think they're too far off though. If Mourinho can decide on a central defensive partnership not involving Dier and stick to it. Then if he's playing a back 4 don't play Doherty. Their squad is a fair bit better than ours, and has a plethora of attacking options. I still think if they can get the balance right they could beat the rs or Leicester to a top 4 place.
 
Funny thing about last night - Jose will be secretly delighted. It gives him all the "I told you so" he needs for a few months. He can retreat back to his slow, shut up shop football & will be able to reference the Everton game as "you see what happens when we open up" to justify it.

Wolfsburg a gimme for them, but in the league he has a tricky run of fixtures which he will be happy to park the bus in
