Tottenham’s hopes of winning the EFL Cup this season are over. Mauricio Pochettino’s men were eliminated on penalties by Chelsea after losing the semi-final second leg 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
Fernando Llorente struggled up front in the first half but went from zero to hero with a fine headed goal after the break, levelling the aggregate scoreline.
However, it is clear Spurs are lacking an adequate centre forward in Harry Kane’s absence, and it’s one of the club’s biggest issues right now.
The problem was highlighted by a huge chance Llorente had to put Tottenham ahead in the tie. Christian Eriksen played an inch-perfect pass to the Spaniard, who couldn’t get enough contact on the ball. Watch below.

We Are a bunch of losers ponchettino does not know how to win and levy does not care about the club. No foreign striker has done well except berbatov and pava. Postiga , rebrov, Soldado and now Lorente . We need a manager of the Keith Burkinshaw mould who has a taste for winning. Let ponchettino go he has never won anything anywhere with any club. It is time levy is fired and people who care about the club takeover. I can see us winning NOTHING AND STRUGGLING TO FINISH INTHE TOP4.
Another season of failure!!!!!
Jansen is also aglow and that tight fisted scoundrel levy will prefer see us loose than bring in a striker short term! We really need to challenge Levy .
ANOTHER SAD SEASON.!!!!
Yeah that’s right spurs should get a good striker.
Spurs will not win anything if they don’t sign anyone and play with a squad of 12-14 players for 10-12 matches in a month. Will see many tired performances like vs Wolves.
You want a nice staduim and everything that goes with it
We will make top 4 with or without your useless comments
You have a complex about winning now,it will come
We have made unbelievable progress under Potch and Daniel
Go back to the past and leave the future to positive thinkers
Four Semi-finals and Four top Four finishes Pac, Berbatov, Keane, Defoe etc were mid-table, what this team has done being the most consistent since the Double side is extraordinary I think we have only lost around twenty games in 4 years we used to do that in one…
No way Poch and Levy are losers. Best tandem in the prem at the moment. These two are brothers from different mothers. They will(ARE) a success at spoors.
