Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

[glospur]

Losing Vertonghen is a big blow. I hope Dier isn't LCB as last time he played there he gave me nightmares. Much prefer him on the right of the two.

Toby out with a case of no new contractitus I reckon.

Or, you know, he's got a hamstring issue affecting the same hamstring which kept him out for months.

Plenty off the bench though.

 

[thebenjamin]

Don't see how we play out from the back now. Will be carnage if they press us

 

[npearl4spurs]

Well I guess today we will get a bit more of a glimpse at what life without Toby could be with Dier and Sanchez the CB pairing.

No pressure boys

After poch press conference this week praising Verts fitness I knew he would jinx him!!

Still attacking options on bench look strong COYS

 

[theShiznit]

Bench of game changers (and Sissoko)

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Palace aiming for world record in most players out injured.

Yeah I know ffs it was only posted in jest

Whoever kicked jan shouldn't be paid for the rest of the season

 

[TheChosenOne]

Glad to see Hugo back. Phew

 

[SEANSPURS1975]

If Vertonghen is out for a while we are fucked. Hopefully be too strong for Palace today...COYS

 

[mark87]

What's going on with Winks?

What's going on with Winks?

Awful last week. Clearly just not picked

 

[Cornpattbuck]

Is Wan-Bissaka a Star Wars character? I hope we come out the blocks today, as there's a lot of randomness about that Palace team and we're missing our Sheriffs at the back.

Press with Sorlath, Benteke and Andria? Haha.

Palace will be parking the bus.

It was Kane...

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Amazing that we can have two world class centre backs injured in Jan and Toby and still put out a centre back pairing that would both be first choice in the position at 17 of the other 19 clubs in the league.

Let's hope big Vic is up to speed, him and Dembele running the midfield is what we need to win this match.

 

[pablo73]

Apparently Poch said Verts injury was a minor hamstring strain, anyone see that?

 

[thefierycamel]

It was Kane...

Tear up his contract.

 

[Pellshek]

Not sure I could tell a good Palace team from a bad one in all honesty.

I'd snap your hand off for a terrible performance and 0-1 win.
