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

Not necessarily disagreeing but then what is the change?

Johnson on for pace or Gil/Lo Celso for a bit of guile?

Yea I think so mate Richy off for Johnson at HT for me but Ange might not do that as it’ll kill Richys confidence longer term.

Might need to wait until 60 mins.

Could take both wingers off at this point tbh, put Gil left and Johnson Right and run at them more.

If we are really struggling to unlock them then yea Gio for Sarr perhaps also.

 

[Hazelton]

Not the game for Richy. Get some pace on, give Madders an outlet.

 

[midoshairband]

it's so congested, these are the games you need something from your wide players.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Ok - Sarr should have seen yellow there - so things evened up a bit

Yep was fully expecting that to be a yellow, at least a tad of consistency.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Looks frustrated.

That chance he had to play the ball across to Son but took an extra touch was really really poor. Very unlike him. If that was Richy we would be laying into him heavily. He looked like he was lacking focus and maybe a little bit fatigued then slowly getting frustrated, as you say, with his performance.

 

[Johnny J]

I wonder if playing Monday and then Friday has anything to do with the energy levels.

 

[greaves]

It’s like some of you have never watched us play away to a defensive team before.

Wise words.

 

[THFC_SWE]

How can striker who plays for the brazilian national team have worse ball control and technique than a sunday league footballer? Shocking.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

Madders off the pace - should have gotten to that one

 

[cjbyid]

Credit to palace, have shut us down well.

Tough team to play against.

 

[only1waddle]

Can we sub the ref at half-time.

 

[Johnny J]

It’s like some of you have never watched us play away to a defensive team before.

It's entirely possible tbf

 

[Cream]

It’s like some of you have never watched us play away to a defensive team before.

They're not defensive. When they get the ball they commit players forward. They are just keeping their shape really well. Very disciplined. And we are making loads of mistakes.

 

[robotsonic]

Hopefully Ange has got some ideas on how to work around them a bit

 

[Guntz]

Don’t know how long he would be able to last, but I’d seriously consider bringing on Bentancur at HT.

Johnson for Richarlison too.

 

[anydange]

He really has to switch Richarlison at half time. Offers nothing at the moment.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

it's so congested, these are the games you need something from your wide players.

It’s why I didn’t want Richy to start. He doesn’t have the technical ability for games like this when playing out wide.

 

[Johnny J]

How can striker who plays for the brazilian national team have worse ball control and technique than a sunda league footballer? Shocking.

Because Brazil don't have very good strikers atm.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

You can see why some of these pundits would never make managers. It’s clear as day Richy needs to come off at HT

 

[stonebrow]

Don’t know how long he would be able to last, but I’d seriously consider bringing on Bentancur at HT.

Johnson for Richarlison too.

Not the way they are kicking lumps out of us!
