Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - FA Cup Match Thread

[SE Spurs]

Very tough game. With players still missing, and off the back of Thursday night, any positive result would be a great effort.......COYS

Will we have Son back for this? If we do I doubt he would start as Poch will know he won't be fresh after his travels. Palace are a tough team to score past as all the 1-0 results prove. And with Dele and Kane out it makes it all the more difficult for us. Maybe Llorente will come into a bit of a scoring run after his great header against Chelsea. F.A.Cup is our best chance of silverware now.

I doubt he will throw Son straight in to this even if he is back.

Not sure how much I care about today. Bigger game (context of the season) on Wednesday.

Be interested as ever to see the starting eleven.

Last chance for silverwear. If we were full strength I could see us winning but I can't see it with who we have out.

I'll be massively impressed if we do win.

Palace are not clear of the relegation zone, they also have a couple of players coming back from injury who need minutes. I feel that they can't risk those players having their first starts when they're desperate for points in the league so I feel they will need to play them here which is favourable to us.

Hodgson pretty much said he is gonna rest some players didn't he?

 

[wrd]

Not sure but they have Wickham and Benteke back from months and months out so I feel like the only way those players are getting back to full fitness is by playing them in the cup because he can't risk starting them in the league.

The most frustrating part of our weakened squad is Poch is still failing to pick the best players available and/or get his tactics and formation correct. We were lucky not to be 3 down at HT against Fulham and we didn’t turn up in the 1st half against Chelsea.

It's insane that games are divided across so many channels. It's 2019, let me buy a yearly subscription to all Spurs matches.

They have a huge away game vs Soton midweek. He’d be mad to not rest at least 11 players.

So would we. We’re on our bare bones atm. Rest as many players as we can. Need to keep Eriksen, Winks & Rose fit. Llorente, dier and Lucas are just building back fitness. Skipp, Marsh, Sterling/Parrott(maybe even both), and KWP should start this.

We went to Palace with a defensive crisis and kept a clean sheet. We'll go to Palace today with an offensive crisis and score at least 3.

Believe.

 

[mil1lion]

Looking forward to seeing what youngsters are in the squad today. Would love to see Sterling and Parrott get playing time.

 

[hughy]

Anyone know if Hennessy is back for Palace? Speroni is absolute gash and is worth a goal or two himself...

Marsh was terrible in the u/23s last weds. Not trying to put a dampener on it but I think he's miles away from. The first team

I used to Love Cup Final Day, players in the buses on their way to the big game, FA Cup used to mean something , my Mum yelling at me cause I was going to ruin my eyes, My Dad watching just as intensely with every kick god rest his soul,Thechosenone is right been very Devalued and I hate it, both Semis at Wembley stadium ? Seriously, COYS!!!

Same here. Been saying for years - award it a champions league place and the magic will return!

 

[Ekmek]

Very interesting to see what the starting 11 will be. Both Davies and Rose injured against Chelsea.

Maybe KWP on the left.

 

[mil1lion]

I would consider wingbacks with Nkdouou and KWP. With Moura up top as well we'd have great pace getting forward.

Wanyama + sterling spotted

 

[Mr Pink]

I reckon Foyth scores again here!
