Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

[spursville]

Well yes, I think we would all upgrade him. But you're talking to a poster who said he was fine this game and was arguing against people playing bentancur, sarr or skipp at right back instead of an actual right back

Noted. That depends on the quality of the coach to a certain extent; see Guardiola's work with Stones etc.

BTW, why was Romero playing CF for his goal? It wasn't a free kick or corner or anything, just a routine throw-in on the right wing and he's standing on the penalty spot.

Obviously no-one's going to tell him not to if he wants to.

We just had a set-piece outide their box that he went up for. They cleared it for a throw-in and he just stayed up.

For me VDV is only player to have maintained his superb form throughout the season (Sarr perhaps?). The drop off from others is the reason we've been soiling ourselves in games like this.

Him and Vic.

 

[spursville]

Its pretty damn good - when your back up player is "perfectly fine"

He was a passenger.

Meanwhile, VDV remains a cheat code

Oh fair do's.

Van de Ven was magnificent.

Watching Vertonghen game film?

That post looks a little silly in hindsight

TBF you could have thrown a rock into the thread at that point and hit one of those.

I had to laugh when a player people wanted sending back to Germany scored after excellent work by a player who 'contributes nothing'

 

[spursville]

Tbf I think Hojbjerg did more in 15 mins that Bissouma did all game

I think they were both uninspiring.

 

[DenverSpur]

You wouldn't think we've had 2 weeks off.

In some respects have so long between games is detrimental. As Ange said in his press conference having so much time between games means players and the team lose their rhythm.

Micky is a phenomenal phenomenal player

 

[mmidgers]

I criticise them because they go way OTT with it.

"Disgraceful"
"Pathetic"

Attacking Johnson.etc etc

It's really grating to see and they deserve all the flack they get

Totally.

Yeh was worried he was done first half. Hopefully that doesn't stiffen up in the next few days.

 

[1882andallthat]

Got the win which is the most important thing.

Now come on Luton!

I've absolutely no idea why that was given a thumbs down reaction it must clearly have been a mistake

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I'd still rather start Bissouma, and bring in Hojbjerg, than the other way around.

Its nice to have that option though.

This is fair.

There's criticism and then there's hyperbole.

i would say that's on him then and the players. I can't imagine Klopp and Liverpool's young players using that excuse.

Yeah .. probably, but I still remain unconvinced with both Werner and Johnson.

What he does when he's not at the stadium is his personal business.
