RTR EXTRA: FA Cup Tottenham 0-1 Man City
Jack reacts to Tottenham's exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester City in what was a pretty weird game. Felt like Spurs never really got going, which is unlike your typical Ange Postecoglou team performance. Manchester City are of course the treble winners and are managed by Pep Guardiola, but is it wrong to have hoped that we might have given a little bit more to this one? Several players just weren't at it, and despite holding them off for long periods, we didn't create enough of our own opportunities. Timo Werner was crying out for service, but Dejan Kulusevski just couldn't get the ball to him. The biggest talking point has to be City's winner, which was a clear foul on the goalkeeper Vicario. How was that given?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

RTR EXTRA: Man Utd 2-2 Tottenham
Jack reacts to Tottenham's 2-2 draw away at Old Trafford. Once upon a time Manchester United were the most feared club on planet earth, now little old Spurs can be leaving feeling somewhat annoyed not to have won. An encouraging debut from Timo Werner, and a standout performance from Richarlison were two of the major positives for Ange Postecoglou's men. Rodrigo Bentancur ran the show, as Manchester United struggled to come up with anything to both Spurs in the second half. Annoying to have let Hojlund and Rashford score as well, but still, all in all, a great performance.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.
