Tottenham Hotspur FC news: Mauricio Pochettino got his tactics wrong against Manchester United, says former star

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Matthew Etherington has told talkSPORT Mauricio Pochettino got his tactics all wrong against Manchester United.

Spurs were humbled in their FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, throwing away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 to a Red Devils side playing on the counter.

Unable to breakdown a stubborn Jose Mourinho team once they went behind, Pochettino made several odd choices which irked supporters both with his initial XI and when making substitutions.

Hugo Lloris was dropped in favour of Michel Vorm, who has been between the sticks in cup game, while Toby Alderweireld was once again absent despite Davinson Sanchez’s aerial struggles, which Mourinho laid bare once more.
