*** OMT Tottenham v Marine - FA Cup 3rd round ***

Spurs manager Jose Mourinho on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I was expecting, since 2004 I have been in England, and I've never played against a side at this level in the pyramid but many times played against League One or League Two sides, so I'm not English but I know what this means for everyone so I brought a good team, not just for the result but also for the meaning of the cup. For them I think it is incredible to have Gareth Bale playing here, Moussa Sissoko and all these guys. I think it is an incredible feeling for them. They compete and the result is not one to be ashamed of so everyone goes home happy.

"I have to admit that in the first 10 minutes we didn't create a lot, then they hit the bar, so if it goes 1-0, I'm not saying we would lose but for sure they'd fight with even more energy. It was good and even people at home will have enjoyed it because it's football."

On Dele Alli: "I enjoyed his performance very much. Of course he was cautious and like everyone of us was a little bit scared of the nature of the pitch and the way they can compete so it was a game where the creative players couldn't risk a lot but between him and Gedson Fernandes they were responsible for the dynamic of the team in the first half to create chances and score goals."
 
Hart left it and it hit the top of the bar...not really that bad a mistake.
He must have thought it was going comfortably over to leave it rather than give away a corner , so he must have misjudged it by a foot and then had to tip it back over for a corner as it came back into play. For someone who looks vulnerable from distance it hasn’t alleviated my concerns if he was ever called upon in a match where he would be regularly tested.

Yes, I agree. Hart's performance this season have shown that he's past it in my view. GHod help us if Hugo gets injured. We really need to sign proper cover in the summer
 
Effort was good, I thought his final ball and shooting were poor and am none the wiser as to what his what position is.

I remain convinced his signing was a palm greaser for Mendes, so something good may yet come from it.
Likewise. Some effort shown, but also lost a lot of possession in the attacking third. Trying too hard, perhaps?

I suspect it was a loan to get him in the shop window, possibly also greasung the Vinicius deal, so job done.

Or maybe a new first choice too if Lloris to PSG happens. I thought Romero from United would be a relatively risk free number 2, he’s been demoted due to Henderson coming back. If we are in the market for a new first choice I’d like us to target someone who is good at dominating the box for crosses.
