Toby in a back 4 would have left us with the same basic tactical problems...

This is the type of mentality that needs to change within the club. Our players would have felt special if they win their first trophy under Poch in this cup. The fans and the longtime players give up too easily.
Yep good post.
You have to think one or two of those out there today will look at their performance and ask what they did
We tried, of course we tried but the air of inevitability once they scored that second goal was scary.
Part is the stranglehold that Mourinho possesses, part is our mentality and part is us never seeming to create a distance.
I knew at 1 nil we needed a 2nd. I knew once they got ahead we would lose. We try to post positively as though it will change the outcome but that's daft.
Thank God Watford is 9 days away.
Pochettino can't do much more than somehow create winners. Mourinho does no more than keep on winning. Therein lies the issue. It's why Chelsea can beat United but we couldn't I guess.
Gut wrenching.
Tough second half, we didn't really show up. Kane looks like he's on his summer holidays already. Eriksen played well, and Dele was solid first half. But we need to get past this mental block of semi final failure.
The ref wasn't great, but he gave cards that were deserved. Phil Neville is the worst pundit ever, doesn't hide the fact he's a United fan. Second goal should have been saved, but Vorm deserved his place today. The team selection was solid, we can sit here all night and ask what if Toby started or Lloris started, we will never know.
One thing I will take from it.. We need to get Martial out of his United nightmare. He'd flourish under Poch.

At least we don't have to worry about after parties.
Not break it up, but keep building on it for sure.
"Break it up" seems a bit strong. Definitely needs some additions.
How would Toby have stopped those 2 goals? Our front line was the problem.
You fucking invalid.
Top teams , middle teams , shit teams, the end result is always the same, how the fuck do you explain it ?
Shut up, and don't post again.
Subs took waaaay too long to come on i'm seriously concerned that Poch dosen't know how to kill a game like Juve did and Man U did.
If it's like that we won't win anything

Good point, I take it back
I really fear for this team. I can see it breaking up unfortunately. It could be the best team to never win anything.
Ericsson I suspect may think that he's better off at a club that win things, Barcelona are rumoured to be sniffing about. Without him I think we are no where near the team then with him.

God I'm fed up, it just looks like we might be shagged out, just pure knackered, that's the only reason I can think of as to why we weren't busting our chops in the last 15-20 minutes. I'm mystified.
