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

[Spur of the moment]

Against a Championship defence that's sitting deep? Probably just as pointless.

So far we've put in six low crosses either along the ground or skimming it and only two floated, Looks like a deliberate ploy to me.

If you can get behind them and cut the ball back, that's a good tactic. They're doing a pretty good job of staying deep and leaving no room for that though.

We are putting in endless crosses for a reason

Palace want an inflated price for him, but Zaha is the sort of player which I think we could do with - similar to Mane, can play off a CF, or as a CF and has proper pace to run in behind defences. I guess we might have hoped that Njie or GKN would become that but having someone like that on the bench rather than GKn would be a real improvement

Because we're out of ideas?

We are putting in endless crosses for a reason

Because they have 9 men behind the ball

Son should have squared it to Harry with the first touch!

I think words will need to be spoken at HT. This is on a par with Burnley,Swansea and Bournemouth. We cant just saunter through matches expecting to win

Do you remember a few days ago against Real Madrid? Ole, Ole, Ole.

Son has been asleep so far. Poor first half to slow need to move ball quicker.

 

[scaramanga]

So the answer is to give the ball away? It's ridiculous.

If they put everyone back in the middle then pull them out of shape by passing it around them.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Well done Sissoko

 

[AdamB]

Aurier....jeez

 

[Legohamster]

What a terrible half of football

 

[Spur of the moment]

He may have noticed Harry was offside at the start of the move.

 

[Kandi1977]

Townsend wanting Sissoko's shorts

 

[Bullet]

That was BRILLIANT! So enjoyable, such thrilling interplay, those neat passing moves slicing them open, they couldn't even get the ball at times.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Time for Pochettino to earn his corn. That was just average, need far more urgency 2nd half.

 

[markysimmo]

Totally as expected

To be fair though Harry was so close to him, at the speed he’s running at it’s difficult to ascertain where to place the pass and weight etc
