Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - FA Cup Match Thread

[Westmorlandspur]

We cannot afford to let any goals in today cos we ain’t going to score many with that line up. Maybe George will prove me wrong. I hope so

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Bare bones.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

But apparently we can’t improve our squad. Look at that midfield and forward line. Palace favourites now.

 

[Timberwolf]

Would be typical is Speroni has a great game after his audition for clown college against Liverpool.

 

[Led's Zeppelin]

Im looking for a surprise? GKN is not really a surprise given we have very little fit players

They’re not all very little.

 

[Mr Pink]

Massive onus on Lucas today. Has to be our spark in attack.

If he doesn't play well I can't see us creating much.

 

[chrissivad]

Well it is fullbacks but can't figure out who plays where. Dier and Skipp with Nkoudou behind Llorente and Moura off him?

Would guess

____foyth Sanchez Verts ____
Trippier _____________KWP
________Dier Skipp ________
Moura ____________Nkoudou
_________Llorente ________

I deleted my lineup post as i posted the same time as the official lineup.

Sad times indeed, poor lineup. I know we must be careful as we have a tough pl game midweek but it looks pretty poor tbh.
Just toss it in the box basically right? I do like GKN tbh though. Id expect us to be terrible in possesion.

 

[SpursD22]

At least Wan-Bissaka doesn’t start for them, that’s a positive

 

[StevePil]

Wow...!
No Toby, Eriksen even in the squad.
they are pretty much full strength.
With all the PL teams gone already too.... be so wound up if we throw away our last chance of a trophy

 

[ajspurs]

If Lucas has one of his anonymous games, there is VERY little going forward.

Oh well, I would rather see us put out a stronger team on Wednesday anyway if I'm honest.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Palace lineup looks annoyingly strong. Really hard to see us winning this unless Lucas has a madness and scores a couple of individual goals. Last thing we need is a replay but looking at the two lineups best I can see us getting is a draw.

 

[mil1lion]

I actually like the pace of KWP, GKN and Moura. It's important for Dier and Skipp to control the midfield. Maybe one too many defensive players for my liking but Lamela is usually good off the bench. Sterling could offer a bit more pace later in the game too. Still think we'll win this. I think Palace will struggle to score.

 

[tobi]

I wasn't expecting Llorente to play three games in a row.

 

[Shadydan]

But apparently we can’t improve our squad. Look at that midfield and not forward line. Palace favourites now.

Well when you have a host of injuries that tends to happen.

 

[mil1lion]

Would guess

____foyth Sanchez Verts ____
Trippier _____________KWP
________Dier Skipp ________
Moura ____________Nkoudou
_________Llorente ________

Yeah I think you're probably right. Although expect Nkoudou and Moura to get instructions to overlap Llorente at every opportunity.

 

[spursfan77]

On that lineup I've voted Palace win

It’s not looking great is it. If we win this I will be massively impressed with the team we’ve put out.

 

[VancouverSpur]

Bare bones.

Is that your opinion or your Porn Star name

 

[mil1lion]

I wasn't expecting Llorente to play three games in a row.

Maybe another 60 mins. I'd be surprised if he plays the full 90.

 

[spursfan77]

I wasn't expecting Llorente to play three games in a row.

Neither was he!
