I hope it's fairly strong, I'm going to the home leg. It's my first game this season and I'd like to see some 1st 11 players.

I have to say that although I've been a supporter of Pochetto's rotation policy all along, this game IS special, as Spurs are so near to a Cup Final,,,,full team out please Mauricio.

I really want us to get to the final and as long as we have strength on the bench if it's needed, I see no reason why we can't be within touching distance of some silverware.

I'd like to think that even a weaker side would be capable of beating a League 1 side at home...

He'll field a fit team - which will mean plenty of changes. A fit team is more likely to win than a tired but better team. Our so called reserves are doing very well.

I said that about Crystal Palace!

Knew we would be lucky to get point against Palace as it was away and they had new manager.
Sheffield United will look to defend but grab an away goal. They should be there for the taking though.

I hope we win comfortably in the home game as sheff utd will be up for it at their place, regardless of the score. Didn't we beat Burnley 3 or 4-0 in the semi a few years back to go and get pegged back in the second leg..i think Pav and defoe scored in extra time??

Twice.
Burnley.
Besiktas.
Partisan.

Im going too the game so i hope we play are best 11 and fire a couple of early goals and tgen rest a few after 60 min or so.

In a semi final, whether it be two legs or one we simply have to field our strongest side whoever the opposition.

 

[mawspurs]

We need to put the tie out of sight in the home leg, we don't want a close score going to their place really. They have a habit of beating Premier League teams so lets smash them at home and then we can rotate for the second leg.

With 3 cup games on the trot its not easy if you want to stay in them all.

It's likely our only realistic chance of Silverware this season. If Poch fails to field a full strength side then Levy needs to squeeze his gonards in a vice!

This really is a no brainer situation.
