Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace

Post, too close

 

Great match, oh what fun!

 

I'll take getting in at 1-0. Palace were building some momentum up at the end. Need to get some more control over the game second half.

 

1-0 HT. Largely the better team and played some nice stuff, but there was a very dodgy five minute period leading up to the break.
Need to get back on the front foot and keep the ball again, while still being very aware of their threat on the counter.
Palace have looked pretty dangerous in patches and they're still very much in this.

 

Eze really is a handful of a player, was someone I’d have liked at Spurs.

All in all a decent first half so far but lucky they didn’t equalise near the end. With Sissoko on a yellow he’ll have to be careful when going over to help Aurier deal with Zaha, one iffy challenge and he could be gone.

 

Can just see Townsend and Batshiyu (excuse spelling) comjng on znd crushing the weekend

 

Via France and Poland, apparently.

 

I worry about Roy, should he be out in this weather at his age ?

 

Sissoko having a bit of a dodgy one at the beginning of this half

 

We need another, this is not looking pretty

 

Reguilon's passing has been very poor today. Not fancying the cold and the rain, perhaps?

 

60th min GLC for Tonguy ?

 

Reggie and Dier also having shaky games in possession too. Need to keep this tight

 

Did Hojbjerg just get Kevin Friend's phone number? WTF?

 

Lo Celso replaces Ndombele. Been a really poor ten minutes or so, so we need to make a change.

 

Again, pathetic CM control in the 2nd half of a PL game.

 

Zaha whacks Hojbjerg with his arm, turns and falls over. Where's the foul, there?
Then picks a fight with Lo Celso and grabs him behind the head. Trying to rattle people.

 

COYS another goal please.

 

Been impressed with Bergwijn’s hustle recently, looks like he’s taken a leaf of Moura and Lamela’s books and is working his socks off defensively.
