*** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace FC ***

[afsoc4life]

We are really short one on the right wing and Palace has recognised that. Doherty is a weak point offensively and defensively.

Sissoko is a better RB.

 

[billyiddo]

No changes?

Ok then

 

[Yiddo]

If he's covering Benteke then he's in a good position to close the man if he beats ours.

That's not the danger at that point though, it's the cross. He has to deal with the current danger and worry about what may happen if it does.

But he sticks with Benteke and the crosser breaks into the box and scores Sanchez then gets the blame for his decision making? Can’t win.

Also, Mourinho keeps picking Doherty over Tanganga - fudging why? Waste of space, waste of a squad place even - bin Doherty off to the reserves for a season and let him try again next year. What is the upside in playing Doherty right now?

I have zero sympathy for that pompous buffoon, and this is why. He digs his own damn grave.

 

[MKSpur]

Zaha v Doherty is a worry ...

 

[LincsSpur]

I think he was up against Toby!

Toby was on Ayew and had to leave him when he saw Benteke was unmarked but too late

Squarely on Sanchez not for the first time

 

[paxtonwolf]

Coleman is spot on about what Palace will/should do

 

[AdamB]

Zaha on isn't great, but Eze off isnt bad

 

[SpurMeUp]

Doherty was fine imo.

Reggie might have got a second. How we fell away those last 5 mins and crumbled is the concern.

That cross cannot come in so easily. Doherty sleeping.

 

[JerusalemMan]

Ah, the ref remembered that he'd let Riedewald get away with one right at the start of the game

 

[LincsSpur]

I think defending seems to be alot easier on here. Sanchez has to be wary of the player crossing actually taking on Doherty and going past him, Sanchez would be the next line of defence. Toby should take Benteke and Reggie should then take Toby’s man.

That might work if Sanchez wasn’t concentrating on ball watching but that’s what he does

Sooner Rodon played

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Those were the days...

Jan was the leader

 

[DubSpur]

That yellow is about 45 mins late

That would be all on Doherty

mans I would suggest the fall back cutting in from an angle is harder than a free header from 6 yards out.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Boom

 

[AdamB]

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLeeee!!

 

[JerusalemMan]

OH that'S Quality

 

[SteveAWOL]

Bale, Bale!!

 

[paxtonwolf]

Bale starts it and finishes it. That was superb all round
