Tottenham Vs Crystal Palace: Match Thread

[gushayes11]

He rarely has any delivery though and davies is entering some decent form and has proved he can get forward and deliver precision crosses with pace and whip into the danger zone.

Davies has been good the last couple, but if we're chasing or needing a goal at least Rose will try take on his full back, Davies always stops and gives an inside ball. Hopefully he won't be needed anyway, we should have too much quality, narrow or not!

'kinell. Newcastle 2 up with ten men to Chelsea.

We need width and pace. I'd like to see Lennon on at some point.

Davies has put more effective balls into the box in the little he's played than rose has all season.

And I totally acknowledge Rose's progression this season, don't get me wrong.

Rumour has it Lennon had huge width.

You don't take a season 1/2 to 'adapt to the english game' mate. It's something else

Ok now i know your just an idiot

Hopefully not Lamela on the right and Eriksen on the left both cutting in.

"Fergie time" has turned into "Mour time"! Six added minutes my arse.

Edit: got to hand it to Newcastle, since beating us, they've turned it around. /

F**ing hilarious watching Mourinho having a paddy over losing though.

Still noet enough time. We'll done Newcastle. We need 3 points today though.

I really am bricking this.

We'll know after ten minutes or so how this game is going to play out. All about how you start a game, sets the tone etc.

If we allow them to settle and grow into the game, well we know what's coming.

Lennon should be starting ahead of Lamela. Hopefully he'll finally put in a good performance. Dier is going to have a tough game against Bolasie and hopefully won't be isolated against him.

I'm wincing at seeing Lamela being picked over Lennon, didn't think I'd be feeling like that at all a few weeks back.

 

[gushayes11]

Need the early goal!!

Same here. I still think Lamela has huge potential, but there's no way he deserves a start today based on recent form.

Hopefully today is the day he really shines.

If Lamela plays he must take Lennon's position and not cut inside every time he gets the ball.

It's not if Lamela plays. He is playing the team has been announced.

That said he does need to have more positional discipline than he has so far shown.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Agree with concerns about a narrow performance, Lennon and Vlad definitely helped that.

 

[Yid-ol]

Need the early goal!!

Any early goals in our games normally go against us

I really hope this doesn't turn into another Lamela hate thread for the next 45-90 mins like last time. I for one am happy he is starting, that front four should have way to much for CP.
