*** OMT Spurs v Crystal Palace ***

[AdamB]

Hope he goes and proves me wrong, but I think this would have been better day to start Son or Moura than Lamela

Completely. Dele, Eriksen and Lamela together behind Kane always risks this happening

 

[Whiffler]

If it fits . . .

Are you saying he's a ... ?

 

[Rorschach]

Palace have been very disciplined.

 

[afsoc4life]

We do realise it is a chance to turn on the pressure.

 

[nayenezgani]

Lamela is making good runs in behind but the likes of Dembele and Eriksen are too slow to lift their eyes.

Eriksen has been uncharacteristically slow today.

 

[Daisuk]

Haha, that was out, but the lino didn't pay attention.

 

[AdamB]

Palace have been very disciplined.

We're making it easy for them - with this line-up we weren't likely to get behind them much, so they just sit in there with their back 4 and 3 DMs

 

[paxtonwolf]

Thats shocking

 

[Rorschach]

Ha. Linesman wasn't looking

 

[Legohamster]

FFS serge.

Is he?
To me he seems to be passing backwards and sideways a lot

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

I hate palace and their fans.

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

For the amount of possession we have had this is one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen.

 

[Daisuk]

Jesus Christ, that's the second foul throw Aurier has thrown since he joined us - at least! Learn the fudging rules, man.

 

[AdamB]

He doesnt have much to pick out in front of him. He, Dembele and Lamela are all playing in a similar of hte pitch and looking to do the same thing

 

[El Guepardo]

Lately we appear to not play so well in the first half when we play away from home. So I think we will be better second half

 

[PochettinoPochettinoPochettino]

And he got booked? Yeh well done ref.

 

[Cochise]

Our front players have been very passive. Palace are set up to completely congest the middle of the park and we don't have the players to trouble them out wide. I'd think Son for Lamela might be worth a go, maybe Moura with 20 minutes to go if things are still the same.

We are passing sideways and behind players. The ball isn't going forward often enough.

 

[Whiffler]

Dembers angry - but right. So book him ! Yeah - right !

And the replay was from the Ref's pov, too.

 

[thfcsteff]

There we go, a proper dive.
