***OMT: Mighty Spurs vs Palace***

[AdamB]

I'd prefer Zaha to Barkley.

I think we need both types:
- a Zaha/mane type to replace GKN in the squad and provide a pacey option either up top or behind Kane
- an attacking midfielder (lets not have the 'is barkley a CM or not' debate again), whether Barkley or Gomes or someone else, to cover Dembele and possibly also the no 10 role

Agree with this except I would leave Rose on in case of injuries or if we need a late attacking sub.

People are being unrealistic to expect us to smash teams in 45 minutes and I include the BT commentators and BBC website in that. If we get three points however we do it, it’ll be a good result. We’re still in a strong position to do that.

Not expecting us to smash them.

But expected urgency and more about us.

Almost looks like they can’t be bothered - we haven’t created a real chance

But they are leaving room to cross from a bit deeper, granted that is usually not as dangerous, but we have someone in the bench that has proven pinpoint accuracy.

He's incredibly unlikely to even contact the ball though - the most likely result of a cross is a counter attack.

COME ON YOU SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sissoko not nearly involved enough yet again:

 

[Legohamster]

Watching this game be like..

Can't remember being so frustrated by a bunch of cloggers sent out to try and draw and kick the brick out of the opposition in the process.

I know, it’s not normally the way we play.

Moose on for Winks, not Sissoko :/

I'm starting to think that Sissoko has compromising photos if Poch.

Poch looking grumpy.

Has to be an injury I’d imagine?

Agree. Was never expecting a 3-0 or 4-0 romp, and would quite happily take a 1-0 or 2-1, but I am not entirely sure we can break them down for one goal let alone two. Hopefully Moussa will make a difference

 

[scaramanga]

Poch looking grumpy.

Probably just realised he wrote down Winks's number instead of Sissoko's on the sub sheet.

He really is terrible. I said it before and I’ll say it again, he’s pulled off the trick Ali Dia tried at Southampton.

 

[Cochise]

Poor Winksy. Hopefully he can get fit for when the league restarts.

Perhaps Dembele's dribbling will draw players out of position.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Good save again.Thought was in

 

[Legohamster]

Lucky Townsend passed that instead of playing in Zaha

Going to lose this unless we wake up

 

[Cochise]

Am I being hypercritical in thinking that Sissoko hiding behind players and not offering an outlet is causing us problems.

NB: I can't stand having Phil Neville commentating.

 

[Kandi1977]

Gazzaniga is keeping us in the game atm!

 

[nayenezgani]

Those people calling for us to sign Zaha really do make me laugh, he'd be about as useful for us as Darren Bent was.

Our style of play doesn't suit the 'run really fast and play on the counter' types.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Just not quite falling for us
