Post-match discussion

Lads, its Tottenham. :p

Fantastic performance. Having gone behind early the team showed fantastic character to come from behind, and they did it with football not just hitting and hoping or relying on mistakes.

Once we were ahead we never ever looked like letting it slip. Felt a lot like Stockholm vs Ajax. Everyone stepped up second half and we defended as a unit, from the very front. Special mention to Alexis for tireless defending and, of course, Ander Herrera. My MOTM.
 
Whatever people say about Jose and this team, we are not perfect but hell to it, another fecking final, chance at three trophies in two seasons, keep it coming.
 
God it feels great winning against this lot, especially seeing Alli’s dissapointment. Pure joy.
 
Proper game of football that. Think it’s one of the few times I’ve watched this team and thought just maybe Jose can do it.
 
You have to give it to Jones, he's been brilliant these two games
 
Sanchez did a Tevez. Super work rate and selfless closing down from the front. And a beautiful goal to boot. Motm
 
Great second half. Pogba stepped up to show us what he can do. Sanchez wanted it too and it showed. Fantastic game.

Bring on Southampton in the final.

:lol: Short memory. Not by a long shot. Superb in the context of the game, however.

The second half of this game? Best we've been all season.

We completely stopped a very good Spurs side in a semi final... Not sure what I'd rank above it.
 
Feckin hell! 20 league titles is the most important stat, but what would this club be without the FA cup classics? I love this competition.
 
4th final in 2 years and United are in a bad spell after SAF. Amazing.

Fa Cup under LVG.
Europa League and League Cup under Mou.

Fa Cup added to that again would be great.
 
One of those games when everyone is working hard.

Herrera finally scoring, and that was a massive goal.
 
Get in! Deserved win. Mourinho got it spot on. Took us a little bit to get going, but after Sanchez's brilliant header, we took control.
Tight call between Sanchez and Herrera for motm IMO. Both brilliant. Pogba as well, finally dominated Dembele. Jones made amends for the Spurs game earlier too

Wonder if this loss will make the likes of Eriksen and kane question if they stay long term?
 
Now that was a proper game of football to watch. Kudos to Herrera (my MOTM), Sanchez and Pogba, while the rest of the team also performed extremely well. Bar the opening 20 minutes or so, Spurs never looked like scoring.
 
Very professional. Very satisfying.

Another big game in which we came back from behind to win. We can end this season on a high note after so much boredom and dire football. Happy to have another big game to look forward to and I hope it's Chelsea.
 
Fantastic stuff, great performance in the second half.

BBC coverage is fecking shite.
 
This is the performance that should’ve happened in Jan/Feb at Wembley.

Commitment, desire, professionalism, solid.

Sanchez, Herrera, Pogba, Smalling and Jones were class.
 
Showed great character to come back from that early deficit. Pogba getting better every week and Jones is a beast when he's fit. If we can keep him off the treatment table we'll have one of the best CBs in Europe.

But let's not kid ourselves. Spurs created the better chances and we needed another good downfield to win the game. We're still miles from where we need to be.
 
Character. They are not too bad our players, even though we can be a bunch of whiners at times. Thanks!
 
Great post-match coverage from the BBC.
 
Was always going to be a 2-1 game. Just didn't know if it would be us on the winning side.

Another famous comeback. Finally we are able to win after trailing nowadays, no mean feat to instill that mentality into the team. If we win the FA Cup, and we should as we are better in the moment than Chelsea who are more likely to be in the final against us, then it is a pretty decent season.
 
Great win. The best part is that it was fully deserved. Bossed them in the second half, they created nothing. Apart from the first 15 min it was a great performance.

Did Kane play?
