After three defeats on the spin, Tottenham Hotspur got their proverbial butts back on the horse with a Harry Kane inspired victory over West Bromwich Albion in our last match and now it’s all eyes to the FA Cup once again as we face Everton in the fifth round on Wednesday evening.
It might not have been a classic performance, but we were more on the front foot again for most of the 90 minutes and we did look better for it, but given the quality of the opposition it’s unlikely to have changed any opinions about manager Jose Mourinho.
The FA Cup is the FA Cup though and with Premier League form wobbling, it undoubtedly remains one of the best chances we have for silverware in the 2020/21 campaign as even the most optimistic Spurs fan probably has to accept with a 14 point gap to top spot, we aren’t challenging for the title anymore.
With a game in hand and a point better off than we are, Everton will be a tough cookie to crack though, and we are going to need to be better than we have been in recent weeks if we want to progress. With some rotation expected, the team selection could be absolutely key to this one.
I think I’ll take up my usual position, hiding behind the settee.
Oh well, at least we are back in it by half time.
Footballs a funny game, how the hell we 3-1 down!! 3-2 now game back on..
And where’s all this attacking football from? Or where its been??? I can’t believe what I’m watching, maybe all the criticism has finally hit him.
How the hell are we 3 – 2 down .
Passing and movement so far very good but the defence ???
Lamela has made a great difference .
This is a good game of football. Just like an FA cup match should be… But given our shots on target, before they scored, it could just as well be Spurs with the half time lead. But how we somehow let them take a 3-1 lead, I don’t know…
The positive thing for me, is if we are to win this, we’ll have to play just how we were in the first 30 minutes or so… And we were playing some good football…
Anything can happen now… Even a Spurs win! 🙂
Up the Spurs!
Is it time for Dele and Kane to Shine? Moura and Bergwijn to give way?
Actually thought we had a decent first half plenty of chances, 2 good goals
We made a mistake through a bad pass to Hoj for their first. Feel sorry for Hoj the back of his heel clipped C Llwens leg who, caught who, but pen given.
Keeper Lloris could’ve done better, Everton keeper as usual against us playing a blinder.
Win lose or draw, we’re playing well, and without Harry. 7 shots on target very decent.
this is a match that we can win. harry is playing and that could be a big lift
No more than we deserve!!!!
No more than we deserve. to win it playing as a Spurs team; playing football!
All that hard work getting back into it then give away a sloppy goal.
FFS!! Now let’s win this fucking game!!!
all those boring god awful matches by a team that is showing today it can play exciting football.
Last thing we need is extra time with City looming on Saturday.
It’s like the Tottenham of old for me, you score 4 we score 5.
Loving it, great performance, excellent game, COYS.
I was saying the exact same to myself, apart from the defending
Fantastic – Cup classic – I’m knackered!
An exiting 4-4 or a boring 0-0 that takes us to extra-time?
I prefer the 4-4!
Now lets win it in the next half hour!
Up the Spurs!
We keep getting caught out by the tight angle on our right!
Sloppy from Winks. Simply not good enough
I believe we can win this in the next 15 minutes!
Let’s see!
Was Harry Winks playing for Everton? It seemed like that way to me. So so sloppy.
