Match Threads Crystal Palace vs Spurs - Day 10 - 27th October 8:00pm

Welcome to the Crystal Palace vs Spurs - Day 10 - 27th October 8:00pm Match Thread! COYS!

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Richarlison has to start after his brace assist against Fulham!

 

[bubble07]

We will go 5 points clear after this game

 

[rossco]

No zaha(transfer) eze(injury) or olise(injury) to contend with this Friday.

 

[mark87]

Do we put Bissouma straight back in or have him on the bench to increase his chances of playing against Chelsea the following weekend?

 

[Marty]

We will go 5 points clear after this game

We have to. All our rivals have gimmes next weekend, the pressure's on us to make them know they have to win to stay with us.

They were diabolical at Newcastle but even without Eze and Olise they should be a different proposition in a night game at Selhurst.

Damn. I never thought about the fact he's one yellow away from a ban. That's a tricky one. Actually not sure what's best

 

[bubble07]

Think we have to play bissouma for palace

 

[Navy Spur]

Interesting dilemma but I think we have to play him, one game at a time and see where we’re at squad wise for Chelsea.

 

[PCozzie]

Have to go with the strongest available team. We know what happens when looking at the match after and trying to save players. Get three points against Palace and see what we have afterwards. Biss has to start as he's our key midfielder.

 

[amathews3416]

I think you play Bissouma and have a strong word with him before the game about not picking up any silly yellows. I believe the majority of yellow's he has received this year is for dissent and were completely avoidable.

 

[Mr Pink]

Yeah play him and if we end up being comfortable sub him off.

 

[Monkey boy]

This is the test that will tell us everything that we need to know. A win under the lights at a difficult place to go and play that will take us 5 points clear albeit for a day or so. Come on you spurs, let’s do this!

 

[felmani26]

The only change should be Bissouma coming in for (most likely) PEH.

Granted it's come round quick but equally we have 10 days till Chelsea on the week Monday so play the best team with a hopeful expectancy of managing the likes of Son, Maddison et al.

Let's not over complicate matters.

 

[Mr Pink]

They're missing their two best players by a mile.

Good time to catch them but will still be a lot more difficult than last night.

Could see us winnimg 1 -0.

It is the Manchester Derby next weekend. We are 8 points clear of United and they haven't started well but still too early for me to say we definitely will stay above them, especially with our game at Old Trafford still to play.

City are not a rival as such, but if we get the win next Friday we'll be 5 points ahead with them going to United next which should at least mean that we'll be looking out for their results a while longer.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Hopefully a repeat of last season 0-4. Remember Gil having a very good game against them, could see him getting some minutes on Friday.

 

[easley91]

Start Bissouma tell him to just let players go past without being cynical and let the defenders deal with it. Build up a lead then bring him off would be ideal.

 

[sharky127]

Bentancur should be fit and ready for the Chelsea game so i'd play Bissouma against Palace. Selhurst is never an easy place to go and we need to focus on the next game in front of us rather than too far into the future. If he does pick up another yellow then at least we still have a replacement to come in.

Agree. We should always start our best 11. Five subs allows for rotation, if we have a hold of the game
