A third cup final with Manchester United for Jose Mourinho. More FA Cup semifinal misery for Tottenham.

While Mauricio Pochettino wins admiration for his style of football, the manager has yet to actually win a trophy in management. A 2-1 collapse to United at Wembley Stadium on Saturday left Tottenham reeling from an eighth successive loss in the FA Cup semifinals.

Pochettino is responsible for two of the setbacks, having also fallen short against Chelsea last season, plus lost the League Cup final in 2015.

"We can't keep doing this," Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli said. "We can't throw it away. We have got to improve."
"With me or another coaching staff the club needs to push on," Pochettino told beIN
Sports television, "to reach the same level as the clubs like Manchester United and Manchester City. But a long way still to work to try to arrive at this next level."
Liverpool Frustrated
"I don't think that point will help West Brom massively," Klopp said. "It is a complete waste of points. They don't need it. We would have needed it. They are happy now, we are not happy. We stay in the league. They don't stay in the league. It is a strange situation."
