Crystal Palace vs Tottenham Hotspur - Match Thread

[thebenjamin]

Need a big game from Dier today

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Then maybe Winks has to do better.

He's a better CM than Sissoko, even on a meh day, and we have Son and Moura as AM's on the bench too.

 

[SpursD22]

I have a good feeling Aurier and Lamela will have a MOTM performance game

 

[StevePil]

Jan news hopefully positive but this is poch, I have lost confidence in his injury updates now, he hides too much

Anyway COYS..... must win !

 

[Giovanni]

Sanchez and dier in cb....please just keep in simple for heavens sake!

 

[TheChosenOne]

Alan Parry commentating. Ugh.

 

[Basil Brush]

Both of them?

 

[Bus-Conductor]

I'd have had Trippier over Aurier, and Winks over Sissoko on the bench.

Alan Parry commentating. Ugh.

How long before he mentions the 'controversial' penalties at anfield?

Baaaaaaad news about Vertonghen. We now really need lasts seasons wanyama to protect Sanchez and Dier.

They will go over the top! They have 2 6’3 center forwards. They will put long balls in and try and bully us. And to be honest I would worry without our first two CB pairing playing today. I have been saying for a few days now about Toby, he’s injury is more serious than they were saying. They are desperately trying to manage it and we might well see him play against Rochdale but I wouldn’t expect to see him in CL or EPL for a while. Vert’s news, well just really bad luck. So now we will see how good Dier is at CB - not as good as our first CB pairing so I can see him getting bullied today. Wanyama as we saw last week is nowhere near fitness but with Dier moving he has to come in, again not good.
I expect palace to play deep and compact and frustrate our forward players and catch us with long balls out. I think they will do this and nick a goal. 1-0 palace.

There's a surprise.

 

[adamsky]

What is the news on Verts? Any idea how serious it is?

 

[Gbspurs]

Looks like a decent line up to me.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Why does Andros look so different?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

I think people are underestimating the 4 in our back line. Davies has had a very good season, Sanchez has had a great debut season, Aurier has actually been extremely good for his debut season, and Dier is a seasoned team player. In front of them they'll have Wanyama on fire.

And it's live!

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

Shaky start

 

[Phomesy]

Lovely touch Kane

 

[Gbspurs]

Is it me or is this viewing angle useless? Can't even see the lines on the far side.

Sanchez should be picking up Benteke at the corners
