Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - Match Thread

Amazing to win away again, especially when the game was officiated by a tub of play-doh

They’re all knackered aren’t they but still keep winning.

We need a couple of bodies in January to help them out.

 

[Sweetsman]

I'm so proud of this squad and our manager, who looked very happy.

 

[Zippy1980]

We need to start getting our GD up asap if we can.

I’m happy with 3 points at the minute

 

[SdB]

So you're appraisal of him is from one half which contradicts your statement, carry on

Stop stalking me young man, it's unnerving and unwanted.

Aurier's crossing in the second half was atrocious. Quite obvious and easy to see or was you listening on the radio again?

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Another solid game for Sissoko again fair play to the guy.

 

[Colston]

We are hardly getting bullied

Players falling over, getting pushed off the ball, losing aerial duels to players like 10 cm's shorter... Yes we are.

Foyth, Sissoko, Aurier and Toby were great. Davies did ok against Wan Bissaka and Lloris was at his best when it mattered the most. Wanyama looked ok until he got tired. Moura, Alli, Lamela and Kane were wasteful with chances and didn't show enough creativity. I expected a tough game considering CL fatigue so very important 3 points for us. Liverpool will get an easy win tomorrow but one of Manchester clubs will drop points and possibly Chelsea.

Hennessey didn't show himself up at all, full credit to him, he was sharp tonight. Palace worked really hard but surely if any club can feel that pain of every shot straight into the keeper, a fraction wide or blocked, over and over again, it's us - we've been there, I do feel sorry for them, but I'm glad for the points.

Foyth looks like he really enjoyed himself, Lamela was stoked for him when he scored, but I'm starting to wonder if for all the benefits Lucas brings to the team, he's also the reason Kane isn't getting so much time on the ball. He's getting into the spaces Kane used to appear in, popping up out wide and running the ball across the box, Kane seems much more central now and is having way less influence on what's going on around him.

Fuck me I’m in bits!

Sissoko was channeling his inner Hoddle today, some lovely cross field passes to feet.

But, by Christ, this team puts years on you!

Was Kane subbed off at half time?

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

The moment Trippier came off for Aurier, Foyth lost all shakiness and channeled his inner Jan Vertonghen.

I’m not saying Trippier is a problem, but Trippier is a problem.

Strong performances from Wanyama, Aurier, and Davies all of whom have struggled for form (not to mention Sissoko, whose good run continues). Great result in difficult circumstances. Very encouraging.

Got to say i was really disappointed in Wanyama, don't think he added much at all from CM defensively or offensively and nearly cost us in the middle of the park in the second half.

Sissoko was magnificent today and Foyth (or Foytttt) really grew into the game, his adorable face when he scored!!

 

[Reece]

I’m astounded by Sissoko’s performance there. Top drawer away from home when our usual top players aren’t really performing. Well done.

 

[fluffybunnyuk]

3 points is 3 points. cant get anymore points in a game. One thing i took from this game is we looked a bit more secure at the back.

Sorry have to disagree mate

 

[theShiznit]

Positives.

We won.
We won away again.
We won before an international break

Foyth, put to bed those penalties and got us the win and played well.
Sissoko did some good things.

Hopefully some of our players can recharge their batteries over the International break.

 

[ajspurs]

What a three points. Don't think we played well in all honesty and if Zaha was playing I'm not sure we would have gotten away with that level of performance but nonetheless we won, dug in deep and got a great result.

Sissoko was fantastic, that first time pass to Lamela from the high ball was great and a sign of the confidence he's now showing. Massive props to Foyth also, so happy for him as I thought he was really unlucky against Wolves.

Didn't seem to get any of those niggly fouls from Moss and he was really poor in not stopping the game sooner when Lamela clearly had a head/facial injury.

Replying to your posts is stalking now is it, do you know how forums work?

You summed him up and said that his crossing ability is poor based on one half of football, do you see what's wrong with that? Do you see how stupid your statement is now?

 

[The Apprentice]

Foyth MOtM. Assured on the ball, defended well and showed his character after last week.

Sissoko was decent as well. Front 4 were all guff.

I’m not saying Trippier is a problem, but Trippier is a problem.

Jesus fuck...You guys are literally unbelievable.
