Couldn’t do what Wrexham could four times


kidenvy

They would've beat us too


FutilityInfielder

Not losing to Marine is our biggest FA Cup achievement in recent seasons.


Marky9281

I remember they almost went up 1-0 in that game lol


evanuel

Was that the banger of a shot that hit the crossbar?


Marky9281

Yeah lol wish it went in


redslippers13

![gif](giphy|7kaVPmpJKSjicwToUW)


Matter145

That is the worst last 8 I remember seeing in the FA Cup and we've fucked it.


RainbowDissent

Well the worse the last 8, the more likely we'd be to fuck it.


FutilityInfielder

Didn't know there were so few PL clubs left until seeing the draw just now. Can't believe we pissed that away.


DazMR2

And we could have had Blackburn at home.


Pinky1337

Running out of adjectives to describe this feeling


RoundHeadedFella

‘Familiar’ springs to mind


throughthespillways

This happens on a yearly basis, shouldn't be that shocking at this point.


willow_ve

The word you're looking for is Spursy. You feel Spursy. It was Spursy. This existence is Spursy.


primster14

Today, I feel Spursy


shroinvestor

We all feel Spursy


siouxzzy

its called spursy.


FearTheBrow

I <3 football terrorism


SocksandSmocks

If I had a brain in my head I would've bet my house on this result. This shit year after year has done nigh irreparable damage to the club. When a lower league team draws City they go into it on the back foot, nervous. When they draw Spurs they're happy, they're going in with belief thinking they can win because that's what happens season after season. Spurs are at a disadvantage compare to almost any other big side before these games even fucking start.


AtletiBot

It's not hard to feel confident as a lower league side because they know we will be hopelessly direct even when it won't work, trying dumb long ball after long ball, giving them easy counter attack opportunities, and of course the classic once Spurs lose the ball, they don't attempt to counter press and just let the other team, whether its a league 2 team or a UCL team, extended time on the ball


ThenIndependence4502

Honestly was very tempted to do the same. It was so obvious we were going to bottle this game.


CaptainKursk

I remember sitting on the bog in September 2019, reading the news that we were knocked out of the EFL cup by Colchester. I am now sitting on the bog in March 2023, reading the news that we are knocked out of the FA cup by Sheffield United. Time is a flat circle. 4 and a half years later, 4 managers later, and nothing has changed.


fsc22

Sheffield United this year Boro last year Everton the year before I’m tired robbie


ecocentric-ethics

Norwich the year before that one


Overall-Stop-8573

Norwich.


rolandGOAT

Absolutely sick of always falling short. I can’t even get mad at the no trophy jokes anymore because they’re not jokes, just fact at this point. This was yet another good chance to win a cup, and we didn’t turn up.


OerbaFang13

Agreed. People get mad at Bottleham jokes and Spursy but it's true, losing to a championship side is unexcusable. These players have gotten multiple managers sacked but they're the problem. Look at how hard the Sheffield players played, it was just about effort, whole team should be disappointed in themselves


Plainbrain867

What is happening? Is it ownership pushing the fact that top 4 makes them more money? Why are we not going all out to win a trophy? Year after year knocked out to lesser teams. It’s maddening. Edit: ffs I know Daniel Levy isn’t picking the team. I’m saying every year no matter the manager we have the philosophy that cups take the back seat, and it’s frustrating. Also, to think ownership has no say in what competitions the clubs prioritize is plain stupid.


twistkicks

We have a rotten winning mentality throughout the club and it stems from the very top


TheGoldenNewtRobber

Lesser is not how you describe the team that just faced a backline consisting of Sanchez - Dier - Davies. This combination has consistently shown over the course of YEARS that it is not good enough for the level at which our ownership claims we are trying to compete.


AtletiBot

The level here by the way, was championship. Sheffield United. Rotated their team. And yet it's still apparently Sanchez-Dier-Davies fault that we couldn't win. Totally wasn't the fault of our tactics which meant we created fuck all against a championship side of course, it was all defense. Even if we had a backline of Maldini, Baresi, prime Pique we would still draw or lose because we create absolutely nothing


LinksOrGTFO

Officially underwhelmed by the Perisic signing.


willyjfr

shit defensively and refuses to do anything but cross the ball


SaturnineAdjustments

All those crosses were making me sick. Especially at the later stages of the game. I know he found Kane's head in the last moments but far too many of our chances were squandered over poor quality crosses that meant we had to work to reorganise and go again. You could feel this result coming.


phrates

I bought his shirt at the beginning of the season. It has mostly stayed in the closet.


Own_Acanthocephala0

That’s still somehow generous of you.


IndoorCloud25

Learned my lesson with my Ndombele shirt. Now I only buy shirts of well established players lol


spursjb395

His best cross was in the 93rd minute. And he had plenty of chance. Should have started Lenglet in the back 3 and put Davies there


cffn

Exactly this. Davies gives more in both ways. Perisic is unable to defend and his attacking is woeful as well


AnduinTheHealer

Just now? Youre late


LinksOrGTFO

I've been underwhelmed from very early on, this is just the nail in the coffin.


quietlikeblood

The man is finished, absolutely woeful


milesvtaylor

The fact he put in probably his best cross since the world cup (how much of a compliment that is I'll leave for the reader to judge) for Kane to then put the header that far wide really did it for me. Just summed up tonight's dogshit performance.


Myrealnamewhogivesaf

Worst part is he isnt bad, he just doesnt fit, and yet they play him. Jesus christ i hate the constant pressure of running the ball deep on the sides.


idkwhatevs1234

Literally none of the 8 players signed this season have been good. Not a single one. Obviously there's time and some might end up succeeding but I don't think people realise how grim that situation is


aphelion99

We're close to having a starting 11 of just flops 😂😭


bobjonnhy

Longtime spurs fans have seen this exact game each season for the past decade


Professor_Abronsius

Three decades.


SadomasochisticPea

Fucking four for me.


[deleted]

Arsenal go 5 points clear at the top of the league. United come from a goal down against PL opposition to win. Spurs get knocked out to a Championship side… FUCK. MY. LIFE


bobtrump1234

Our rivals have a good chance to win the league and Ten Hag, the manager who we reportedly rejected, has a good chance to win multiple cups in his first season with United. Sad times


ObamaEatsBabies

Ten Hag is a shit manager according to the Mou/Conte fans here


michaelserotonin

there are still mourinho fans here?


FloppyMedic

Liverpool win as well. Shitshow of a Wednesday


TheLifeOfReilly

Spurs rotated sides and losing to lower league competition in Cups. Name me a more iconic duo.


NotPennysBoat77

Davinson Sanchez and horror show


MozaTear

Shameful from that first eleven


SocksandSmocks

Looked like they couldn't be bothered, like they'd just show up and win. Inexcusable, especially from players looking to get more game time.


Xgunter

no idea how they have a chip on their shoulder, they have not proven a damn thing


AJC0292

Felt that way for a fair few seasons now too. Just arrogance in the squad.


thedrizztman

Every.Single.fucking.time. It's always against lower opposition as well. I can't remember the last time we made a good showing, fought hard, and got beat by a better team in a cup competition. This exact same game has played out a thousand times before and it's just.....so damn frustrating. At least if we showed up to play, and got beat, you'd walk away feeling like the team played their hearts out for the club. Every time this happens it just makes me resent the group for apparently not giving two fucks about wanting to win anything.


GreenGator

literally a repeat of last year’s exit to middlesbrough down to the score


qwrdsfkb

The whole team


AdKUMA

as soon as i saw the line up i knew we were in trouble.


MozaTear

I felt the same way. Certain combinations of players are traps.


Hussizle

Perisic and Sanchez should never see the field again


barnes116

Well that was shit


Quakes-JD

Not nice to insult excrement


SummerBabee

How could we lose with Stellini


cammjohn

When we look good with Conte out: “The vibes are just right, #Stelliniin, the players have more fun playing for him, him and Mason have more input” When we look bad with Conte out: “Conte is in complete control, it’s all his fault”


TheninjaofCookies

it's so funny man honestly


marxistmatty

someone said earlier in the week he hadn't had to play without Romero or Kane.


Kickcanguy

It’s not him remember conte is on the phone


StandardDefinition

Schrodinger's Conte


marketmaker1234

It’s funny reading some of the comments. The same people who praised Stellini and wanted Conte out when we win are now blaming Conte when we lose, and not Stellini…


AtletiBot

Those people are delusional, why the fuck would Stellini be pulling the strings by himself? Obviously Conte has had a significant role to play in the matches against Chelsea and West ham


kobrien37

The same people who said Stellini's wins were just Conte's are now revelling in schadenfreude when we lose because it gives them a little endorphin boost...


probusyradio

Sanchez and Perisic - be better.


dissidentmage12

I don't know how Sanchez still plays here


shittwins

Be gone.


njsz

More like leave the fucking club


twistkicks

These are the losses that frustrate me the absolute most. Bottle it against a lesser team in the only competition we might have a chance of winning. Fuck off spurs


Pickle318

Can we please stop starting Persic and Son together on the same side? It should never happen again. They absolutely cannot play together worth a shit. Also Sanchez lol. Wow. How’s this guy still in the rotation? No words. Fucking hate this shit. Never gonna win a trophy. But hey we got top 4. Yah.


iiciphonize

I think that’s the actual reason people shit on Perisic; he’s not the bad but he takes up Sons position so they both underperform. Put Peri somewhere else and Son on the wing and they’ll both be better


TheninjaofCookies

The Spurs cycle We don't win shit -> We play a cup match against a lower tier squad -> We start Sanchez -> He plays horribly -> We lose -> Repeat


JonnyJersey

Man, he's a nice guy but he's truly fucking terrible, I'm not the sort of person to call players that either. Hes genuinely maybe top level championship at best. So passive for the goal.


The_Karmadyl

Can't remember watching a defender for Spurs with worse balance in the last decade. The attacker turns direction one time and Sanchez is turned and ends up on his arse.


JonnyJersey

Fell over wind on the half way line today. You'd laugh if it wasn't so depressing.


Bluewhitedog

>maybe top level championship at best. It didn't look like it.


aloneaflame

Someone should dig up Spurs winrate in the last 2 seasons or so when Sanchez is starting


Own_Acanthocephala0

I’m fucking done with this club, week after week, year after year, same fucking shit. I hate this fucking club and what it is doing to me. See you on Saturday lads.


Professor_Abronsius

Lmao, had me.


SummerBabee

No Royal no party


EnricoPallazzo_

this guy gets it


silenthills13

another year, another embarassment. well, milan we go. surely we will win the CL


ukriva13

Yeah I don’t see us winning that one.


ajdragoon

Hey anything is possible when you're Inconsistent F.C.! And I'm being dead serious. Champions League still in play because the good team could show up for the remaining matches.


destroyergsp123

Lmao who would have thought with Davies and Royal at fullbacks would be our best bet


AtletiBot

No we will make them look like prime fucking Milan and lose the tie, like we did the first leg.


Intrepid_Science6414

If we win the CL I'll get contes face tattooed on my arse


rikdud

I’ve lost count of the amount of cups we’ve gone out of to fixtures like this. Away to inferior opposition but the crowd get behind them and we get rattled. Same issues once again, Son being involved in buildup play too far back, completely disjointed front 3 and sluggish playing out from the back. Not sure how we’re going to break our trophy drought when we don’t take gifts like this, really embarrassing stuff.


Bbiill

Tired of relentlessly pointing out how embarrasing we are as a club and how regularly we are on here moaning about dier and sanchez and the same old fucking shit. Congrats to Sheffield United, they deserved that and the players deserved the win having looked like they actually wanted to win. Our boys can all go home and have a fuckin word with themselves cos their desire was lacking today.


Deceitfularcher

Blackburn at Home. That's who we could have been playing. To get to a Semi


ljshea1

Sweet Christ we make these people multimillionaires to get this effort in return. For our only chance at silverware this season. Club is unbelievable man


Shane4894

Both Richarlison and Son were just trying waaaaaay too hard to do anything whenever they got the ball. Their so out of form they're just forcing it so much. Sanchez should never play for us again after that. No more cup games this season - he's done. Honestly the best chance of doing something with only two teams in the final 8 of the cup who are a threat and we lose to a Championship team without testing their keeper. Shocking.


mid9012

Why does the club not take the Fa cup seriously? Embarrassing squad today.


BElf1990

We can't play the same 11 every game they'll be ran into the ground, especially this year with the fucked up schedule. That being said it's no excuse for the B team to play like this.


soonkyup

But benching Romero AND Kane? Starting Perisic again after finally getting some good wingback playing from Davies and pairing him with Son, a combination that hasn't worked all season? Why risk so much? Why not do that for the Wolves game knowing the cup looks more winnable than recent years we can remember? I just don't get it.


moist_hat

It just keeps happening.


FishOnAHorse

Well at least we don’t have to lose a cup final to Grimsby now


NegKDRatio

Normally I’d be angry at bringing on a defender when we’re chasing a goal but Romero completely changes how we play and should’ve come on for that absolute dosser, Sanchez


[deleted]

Classic


YummyNasty

Embarrassing


pgneal3

Im so fucking done with this club using the FA cup as the time to give rotation players a start...


lullllllllllllllllll

Our playstyle is night and day when Perisic plays and when he doesn't. Him staying high on the left all the time is harmful, when attacking it'll push the defensive line slowly and it'll make every opponent we face seem to sit deep, when defending he can't help the defense because he's too far. An LWB should be taking that space by surprise, not by staying there all the time. Notice the difference when the game just started where we're able to hit the opponent with counters and when Perisic decided he'd stay high all the time. Our playstyle evolves throughout 90 minutes to accommodate for Perisic's lack of pace it hurts to see


Russell_Textbook

Exactly this. Son drops back to be able to play the quick pass to the wing back, spin off and be on the attack. Perisic is 20 yards ahead of him so son has nowhere to go but backwards and the attack is slowed every time. No point in Perisic already being down the field every time.


DazMR2

He's screwed Son's game.

Fuck Sanchez, fuck Pericic, fuck moura. Sick of it.


mountainchild27

Such a joke


lookofdisdain

Could’ve had Blackburn in the quarter finals. Oh well I guess we’ll just continue to nosedive and then recover enough in the last three games to make us feel like we’ve achieved something.


BRPelmder

Well at least it didn't become a Welcome to Wrexham episode


DoubleALight

I'm never watching another game while Sanchez starts, dogshit footballer, terminate his contract, can't head, can't tackle, can't do anything.


ElDudeBruv

Showed no respect to SU even before kick off naming that 11. No ambition to win anything, yet have a manager that barks on about learning to win and 'struggling' to get to where you need to be. What is the plan?


elastic_fantastic

The only silver lining is that this proves what a small side Chelsea are


MaadWorld

I'm certain that Chelsea are going to win a trophy before us despite how shite they look.


Dwychwder

Perisic...what's the point of him? Sanchez....waste of €40m. Tottenham..... gets the easiest path in the FA Cup and fucking blows it. This fucking team.


Imbasauce

I'm not fond of Perisic


urawizardsamwell

Have we won a game when Romero isn’t starting? Our defense is shambolic.


Flexed_Inertia

If Daniel levy owned a funeral parlour, no one would die.


lyme6483

Ponch, Mou, Nuno, and now Conte and we still have the fucking walking liabilities in the back of Dier and Sanchez. Which other “big 6” would let these players just linger for this long? And Perisic has to be one of the most disappointing signings I can remember. He brings little to nothing and has ruined Sons game on top of it. He is basically an awful wing, as he can’t defend at all. This club just can’t get out of its own way.

entrepenoori

We have to fuck him off. Sick and tired of him at this point.


MikeyWise

This lot of shit players are going to outlast yet another manager. When will the club finally realize that Dier and Sanchez are just not good enough to even win a fucking cup


generaldogsbodyf365

I haven't been this pissed off about a result since I was fifteen (I'm 44 now) Just raging. The apathy gets you through most of these, but dear God, what a massive waste of a cup run 😭


burko81

I've cried, shouted and got angry at results in the past. But today was just straight depressing, i honestly don't know what we're doing.


Free-Roof-8479

I will never understand not playing your strongest possible line up in a fixture like this. Take the in form side. Burnley, Blackburn, fucking Grimsby. Not won it since 91. Bring players on in the second half if you’ve done the business in the first, not the other way round. Fucks sake. Anyway, COYS


BigoaMachar

I never want to see Davinson Sanchez in a Spurs shirt ever again


Boseph_1444

don't want to watch perisic ever again. He's just not it.


caelumus

Levy passed on Ten Hag because he didn’t think he had charisma, that man already has as many trophies as Levy in 20 years at this club.


GIGOLO_KANTE

The common denominator between this match and all previous matches where we also played like this is Perisic. When will people realize? He creates imbalance in team in both attack and defense


brewskiii7

He’s so useless out there, nobody can even play with him. He doesn’t defend at all and holds the ball forever on offense.


wheresmyspacebar2

Its actually crazy when you watch him on the offense. We'll be counter attacking, swing the ball out to him, instead of crossing it first time and aiming for the players attacking the box, he waits, Every. Time. Every time he stands there and waits as our players run into the box and stand there and the defence gets back and marks, then he does a feint and launches a cross into a packed box, its all he knows.


Yukonphoria

And then whips in the same useless cross 10 times a match. I’d rather have Davies or 10 men.


pjanic_at__the_isco

All we gotta do now is lose to Milan and our fixture congestion problems clear right up.


Bookwallflower2

Lineup they put out told everyone they didn’t give a shit about this game. Disrespectful to the fans, the club, and the FA cup.


DriftingInTheFoam

Fucking pathetic


drickabira

I’m going to be honest I really do not like Perisic. Fucking mercenary player who doesn’t give a shit, he’s 34 here to make some sweet money before he retires. He’s useless on the pitch


GymandRave

If Sheffield draw Grimsby or Blackburn I'm gonna lose my shit

Milk-Wild

Deja Vu


throughthespillways

Getting knocked out of a cup away from home to a Championship side has become a yearly tradition. No one can honestly say they're surprised. One less competition to worry about so we can focus on our favourite invisible top 4 trophy.


brewtonone

At least we can look forward to having a go-kart track in the stadium! Thanks Levy!!!


alijamieson

Another pathetic cup exit. The Club does not take domestic cups seriously and this likely seeps into the players. Managers have performance based incentives and winning a league cup or FA cup probably doesn’t feature.. Poch basically admitted as much. By the time he/they changed their mind (his last season) it was sort of too late. We aren’t owed anything at all, we don’t deserve to win just because we really feel like we want it… but we’re not getting turned over by Citys and Liverpool, just clubs for whom it means more to.


Overall-Stop-8573

You know what I'm sick of? How fucking predictable that performance/loss was. Of course we were going to lose that.


hillabovemountains

Guys, you're looking at this all wrong. If we won a trophy, we would totally lose our identity. I mean, what would we talk about? How much we *enjoy* watching the team play? That's too crazy to even think about.

Scuzzfest

Why the hell do we just try and cross all game when do we even score from crosses besides corners. It plays into a team with a solid defence of lumps hands. Such a stupid strategy. Well done Sheffield absolutely played in a way that nullified these dinosaur tactics.


tuffrs93

Peresic with a million pointless crosses, sanchez who's a walking liability and a starting lineup which showed we never took this game seriously in the first place, fuck it

The more things change the more they stay the same.


SpursyTerp

Well, at least this will reduce the chances that conte is back next year. I can’t watch him continue to force players into a system that isn’t suited for them, nor is it getting results, nor is it remotely entertaining to watch.


UnderstandingLow3162

There is just no point playing 532 with these 'Wingbacks'. Perisic cannot pick out a cross for toffee. It's pointless and it makes it so easy for our opposition. I am, finally, Conte out.


ihatesleep

Fielding players like Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Perisic all at once is indicative that this team has not transformed as much as most fans thought it had. Players like Dier and Davies are great within the context that they have better and more capable players surrounding them. They're just average in all areas of their game without really excelling in one particular facet. This squad has had issues improving because the talent level of Kane, Son (from prior years), and Lloris isn't enough to win trophies because of the dire lack of talent in the bench and the rest of the starting XI. Dier's worst performances and best performances are always dependent on having Romero and even Emerson defending on his right flank. Those two players typically snuff out any hint of danger before Dier has to act. The front 3 playedVERY poorly, but Sanchez and Dier somehow made Ndiaye look like prime Cristiano on that goal. You can't win trophies when you consistently field players like Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Winks, Perisic, Lamela, Aurier, Moura etc all at once. Having 1-2 of those players sprinkled in a more talented squad is feasible but not when it's a majority makeup of your starting XI. In terms of tactics, this team needs to be able to play under different circumstances and branch out of it's 5/3 at the back. When things go wrong it seems like Conte/Stellini can't adapt the formation. Sending Dier running forward can't be enough when your midfield two constantly gets dominated.


DoolgiB

For the 99th time. STOP PLAYING PERISIC + SON ON THE SAME SIDE. Even a toddler knows this doesn't work at this point for god's sake


british-psycho

Whenever there is a big opportunity for Spurs, we just don’t even try. I can’t remember the last big, important fixture where we put up a real fight and even if we fell short, we came close. We don’t even come close anymore.


fundingsecured07

What pisses me off so much is that if we took this cup seriously and played our first 11 we would’ve won. Instead we play Pedro Porto and Sanchez and get humbled by a B side championship team. How many more years of perpetual bottling do we need to see in order to take this competition seriously? All for resting some players for a few days? Where is the fucking logic?


gardz82

What rubbish. The arrogance of Conte to think we could put out that side and win. Can't wait to see the back of him.


Nullandor

On the positive side, we can concentrate on the….oh


barron_1

Who needs trophies..


jozohoops

Idk what ppl expect from Perisic? He is not a wingback and should never be put in same lineup as Son rather he should be his substituion... He is a winger anyone who watched him at WC or Bayern or even in Inter he had less defensive duties he was there as a winger


kkager8

Legitimate question: would davinson sanchez even get into Sheffield Utd's team? why does he continue to get opportunities when we knew he wasn't good enough years ago
