Match Threads Palace vs Spurs - Match Thread - Day 4 - KO 12:30pm

[TheVoiceofReason]

Nuno made mistakes but he didn’t have much to play with in terms of player availability, add losing Dier to injury early on, Tanganga getting himself sent off, Davies being bloody awful and others simply didn’t turn up.

Bollocks, we had players missing but he set it up completely wrong. Had talent on the bench. We were rinsed start to finish.

 

[HedgieSpur]

If he was playing for us he wouldn't have touched the ball today.

Fair comment… my assumption was that we actually try to win matches……it looks like that isn’t actually the case

 

[glacierSpurs]

The worst thing out of all the awful things about today was Harry Kane. I mean I just didn't see him do anything of note.

At 2-0 I actually hated seeing the sight of him on the field, knowing he will be resenting it deep down again.

Not changing my 7 th to 11th vote just yet

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

This is worrying from Nuno. Early days but the team selection, the tactics and the lack of changes are all down to him. Never looked like he wanted to win the game.

Its sad but your bang on there!!!! 100000%

Starting to think Spurs should be the first club to employ a substitute manager! Players fuck up and get taken out the team after a shit performance, why not the manager? I joke, but Levy really needs to sit down with Nuno after this and tell him in no uncertain terms that the job he did today was unacceptable and won’t be tolerated again.

 

[Hazelton]

Nor did the players we are an average team this club will never achieve anything

Are Crystal Palace not an average team?

 

[Wizzy77]

Wolves fans warned us first half goals will be a freaking bonus. They were right.

Wolves fans worned us when things are not going well, Nuno doesnt react and stares blankly into space. They were right.

He may be an amazing man im sure, but he is NOT the attacking messiah we are looking for. This will not end well.

 

[ardiles]

After today, I’m think the club will be adamant in not allowing the SA players to play for their NTs in the next few international weeks coming ahead if they still have to be quarantined for 10 days upon their return. The other negative is that they might incur injuries when playing for their NTs in the next few international breaks.

What we saw today was a Mourinho team minus one of Son or Bale to possibly cause Palace problems.

There’s been no progression from last year. And absolutely no sign of it either

 

[Joshua]

Emerson Royale making a debut against Saha. He won't forget that. Why not a few sub appearances?

Because otherwise it would’ve been Doherty who Zaha would’ve murdered. Emerson did his best. No problem with him today.

 

[Essexyid07]

Absolutely pathetic performance … against a team that will finish in the bottom half of the table …. We are in for a frustrating season of more dire football … PEH skipp winks in midfield means zero creativity fro what seems like a very mediocre manager who seems to not have a clue about game management … cheers for giving us back our DNA Daniel ffs

 

[GutBucket]

Stay solid and hope for Kane and Son to be world class finishers and get us goals on minimum amount of chances. Think it will be similar to Jose's first season, slightly different tactics and more focus on fitness thankfully. With international games, injuries, covid we won't have too many games with everyone being healthy, we need to do better with bench players and learn how to use them.

 

[ajspurs]

It just feels like it's been so long since we've had a set of players that want to try and play football, want to pop the ball around, want to support the others in possession, want to create and want to have fun on the pitch. It's been all so functional for what feels like so long now.

I know it's knee-jerk but I'm a bit worried about us under Nuno now. The signs were actually there from at least the Wolves and Watford games but when you win you look past some of things that may have worried you if you hadn't.

 

[bsinghd]

If Nuno’s plan is to sit back and counter then stick 5 in midfield so we have 9 behind the ball. I don’t understand that if he’s concerned about the defence why not make sure your team is set up to keep hold of the ball and able to get it back quickly instead of trying to soak up constant pressure.

 

[THE SPURSBOY]

It was disgusting. Get used to it. Cause the South American’s gonna miss lots of games so will never be able to get a settled team. Mid table at best this year

 

[SonicSarr]

Some good performances today. Impressed with Emerson, Rodon, Moura. Alli did well. Japhet is a legend already. Kane was shite. Should have put Bryan on. Other than that worst scenario is we are 1 point behind the league leaders after 4 games. COYS!

 

[glacierSpurs]

Nuno was always a short term stopgap until Poch was available again IMHO.

Don’t think he’ll make it that far.

Poch will be dumb to come back to this bunch of misfits when he has the FM cheats unlocked at Paris.

 

[anydange]

If he was playing for us he wouldn't have touched the ball today.
because he would have been on the bench, behind all the defenders, midfielders and goalkeepers in the substitute pecking order.
