Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace

It’s going to be a long afternoon

 

Oh for crying out loud.

Tempted to go walk the cat, kick the dog and make a nice mug of gin.

 

Sanchez

 

Good start, Spurs

 

Ffs

 

I don’t know what’s worse.., watching an abject performance by a makeshift team or having listen to Chris Sutton talk bollocks all game. It’s a close run thing but I think Sutton sneaks it.

 

We look like we're set up to lose...

 

Not the first time he's got done for the lack of upper body strength

 

N'Koudou just watched Zaha run past him, there. Awful.

 

What’s happened to him? He was a rock last season.

 

Oh well...soon be Christmas.

 

Which is weird considering he’s well built. Needs to learn how to use that strength better.

 

We should be utilising Walker peters and Nkoudou as much as possible for their athleticism and pace. Just keep it down the left and swing balls into Llorente. Lucas to follow up any loose balls.

 

Two really obvious pullbacks by Zaha in a row and neither's given.

 

Free kick given against Foyth for...winning the ball

 

God knows but it seems like some of the basics are getting over looked. Casual comfort zones all over this club. Everyone seems satisfied with bare minimums...when you are a big bloke and you don't utilise your physicality as a professional sportsman, I find it weak and pathetic.

 

Trippier: if in doubt, kick it out.

 

We look all over the place from front to back

 

Foyth the only one showing some bite and aggression at the moment. If only the other lads could follow suit.

 

We've not created anything, again. No crosses into the box and not a meaningful shot on target.
