Whilst I do believe Llorente was a good signing in the summer - I have lived the look of Tammy Abraham - maybe a sneaky wee bid in January to lock him into Spurs next season might be a wee trick... When Kane is struggling with fitness we only have one option - who is not quick at all to stretch teams.

Any other throughts about a potential striker to alleviate pressure?

Apart from being on a five year contract at Chelsea, sounds realistic.

Llorente and Dembele for Son and Sissoko, 352 with Tripps later on for Aurier.

Tripps for Aurier asap.
Llorente for Kane if any doubt about injury.
Get Son buzzing around Fernando
or get him off.
Someone, anyone for Sissoko.

We knew exactly how they'd play today and we seemingly have no idea how to play against them. Dembele has to come on asap COYS

Sissoko is a phenomenally average footballer. I appreciate that Poch must value his discipline and commitment etc., but his inability to execute the most simple of footballing elements (e.g. running with the ball without bringing his shins into play) is astounding.

I don't think it's fair to single any one individual out today, they're all helping eachother look this way because of a serious lack of urgency in the movement. They need to pass and move, not pass and stop, and that movement needs to have some more intensity so they can lose these average Palace defenders being made to look pretty solid.

Sounds like the games against Bournemouth, Burnley and Swansea. Players not putting enough effort in to move off the ball.

Hmm, not sure I like that change. Thought Winks was our best midfielder, his forward passing and through balls have been great. We need creativity and now we have less. Would rather see Sissoko come off for Dembele.

Poch must have been really pissed off to change at half time. Not like him at all to do that.

Again, I'd nosh a draw off down to the nuts today. Palace has conserved all of their energy and can hurt us with Zaha, Townsend and Cabaye's deliveries.
