Carabao Cup Final

[dtaai-maai]

Right, I'm settling down to watch the League Cup Final, Spurs v. Man City. City are obviously the clear favourites, but Kane has (hopefully) recovered from injury, and I have a sneaky suspicion that Spurs have a trick up their sleeves. Nice to see some fans in the ground (8,000 I think).

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!

For anybody wanting to watch in Thailand, it is live on PPTV36 - dual language.

First 10 mins. Spurs can't get hold of the ball at all. Can't get out of our own half. Not really looking forward to the next 80 minutes if I'm honest.

Well I guess not being 3 or 4 down at half time is a plus. We have no chance. The only possibility of a Tottenham win is if city somehow don't take their chances for another 75 minutes and we nick it on penalties.

You were right Lost, you had no chance. You haven't got the calibre of player needed at this level. Take Kane and Son away and you have very little left. And I suspect both of those will leave at the end of the season.

Mourinho was right and it probably got him sacked, 'different manager, same players'.

Mourinho was right and it probably got him sacked, 'different manager, same players'.

Or even, 'same manager, different players' I think he said.

Honestly though, we were shocking. I just don't understand why we insist on playing out the back when we haven't got the players for that. Should have conceded a few on that tactic alone. Then to give winks the nod over Ndombele when he hasn't really played a game for a while was bizarre.

Just got it completely wrong today. As usual. I'm thankful I've adopted PSG as my second team since Poch joined as I may get some joy there.

Although I only watched a 4 minutes worth of “highlights”on YouTube, Spurs were hardly in the game and the only surprise was the scoreline - a combination of City wasting chances and Lloris making a few decent saves. As for Spurs two best players, Kane and Son were virtually non-existent according to the match reports, although fair credit to Son, who did make a contribution at the end, shedding tears on the pitch!!

Whoever’s in charge of Spurs next season, they have an almighty challenge ahead of them.

The man I don't mention any more played his usual game in the 1st half (I didn't notice him in the 2nd half). 5 touches, with one being a block after a City free kick.

Carabao energy drink is more exciting than that game was

Kane clearly wasn't match fit. But such are the spuds circumstances, there was no real alternative.

I really don't know why Bale is there and at what cost? It seems Mason has as much confidence in him as Mourinho did. Anyway, he has already said he is off at seasons end.

It will be interesting to see who takes over. They have a huge job to do and little money to strengthen.

The two people responsible for only 1 nil, Loris and Sterling.
