**OFFICIAL OMT Crystal Palace V Spurs FA CUP**

[Moby]

I’d have started with KWP, Toby, Foyth, Jan and Rose
Winks and Dier in front
Then have Lamela, Moura and Llorente in attack.

But you said you wanted only 1st team players?
Rose is clearly not fit having had the brick kicked out of him Thursday, and Poch said winks wasn’t fit to play.

Hmmm... can hardly blame Pochettino for Sanchez and KWP handing Palace a 2 goal lead then Trippier missing a penalty... and despite those 3 costly gaffes, we still created enough chances to win the game...

Speroni wasn’t tested
Everything was bread and butter for him

Also, I think blaming Poch for not playing Eriksen or Winks today isn't necessarily all that relevant - we created lots of chances today (which is what Eriksen essentially does), and should've won the game, really. We just weren't clinical enough.

Exactly.

19 shots vs 8
72 % possession vs 28%
12 corners vs 2.


You could argue Palace let us come on to them but had the players been more clinical we’d have got something.

First decade since the 1940’s without a trophy

First decade since I don’t know when with three consecutive top 4 finishes. First time ever in Prem with three CL finishes back-to-back...

He says that after the event when we have lost

As I said above other than Nkodus poor shot we really didn’t test the keeper

He said it before. It’s in this thread at the start of the match.

 

[thfcsteff]

Foyth the only one with the slightest credit towards a MotM nomination. If I had my way, the rest of them would be peeling potatoes for a week.

Skipp did really well. Had to lead in there for much of the game. Punching above his weight.

Just for a chuckle, it occurred to me that we sold Townsend a few years ago because he wasn’t at our level anymore.

Today, we had N’Koudou playing....

N’kouodu will never reach Townsends level.

Much of a muchness imv

Every chance Poch leaves before we manage to win anything, we go back to square one and all these years of Cl football and the best Spurs side in many years will have won nothing. Noone cares or remembers who finished 2nd or 3rd.

Our financial situation is sacrosanct! The top potato!
It!

Then comes the everything else!
Hard but true!

City, United and Chelsea will be red hot favourites for the cups.
Because they can afford to run squads on multiple fronts!

We can’t.

 

[thfcsteff]

Proper question. Would you rather we had won a cup this year and not have CL next year?

No. Because this squad can win the CL within the next two seasons. And keeping one of Manure, Chelski and Goons out again gives us a greater chance of getting (and keeping!) top talent. Reality mate.

Prefer you over N’koudou

He was nowhere near the penalty

Think nkoudou followed up the poor shot with another poor one. Another save from a deflected Llorente shot and obviously the pen should have been a test for him.

I know it’s disappointing to lose any game
but we’ve played worse with a stronger team and still got the result, Burnley this season springs to mind.

 

[billyiddo]

Prefer you over N’koudou

Prefer you over both

 

[thfcsteff]

Who knows. But blindly taking any managers word is not what I do. If any player cannot play two games a week then in surprised. Winks has not even been a regular this season.

You do know that Winks already has to manage a chronic ankle issue?

N’Koudou will never reach trippiers level!!!

You joke but I think he might have got there if it was on target!
