OMT *** Tottenham Hotspur vs AFC Richmond/Crystal Palace - Sunday 27th October 14:00 ***

Solanke is the only that comes out of that half with any credit, rest should be ashamed.

 

[Mrs Vert]

As bad as Spurs have played, we have actually hit the post twice!

Twice??! BJ and who?

 

[Legohamster]

It's a ridiculously attacking side for an away game like Palace.

No one in the middle to really put a foot in and it shows.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Meh. Not the best half but kept the damage to a minimum.

Ange will make adjustments, field the right subs, we'll finish our chances and go home handsome.

 

[Baleforce]

pretty brick

 

[SkipRat]

Mikey Moore has been poor. I suspect Ange wanted him to learn a bit more about himself today.

Had zero service.

 

[SkipRat]

Romero is taking the tinkle

Rather have Drags on.

 

[Legohamster]

Solanke is the only that comes out of that half with any credit, rest should be ashamed.

He's been awful as well, he's not holding onto the ball at all.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Brighton or West Ham - what type of half time we having today?

Let's hope it's Hammers.

 

[nelto]

Difficult to play when they're only interested in kicking you off the park. Fouls: Palace 11 Spurs 4. Yet it's only 2-1 in cards.

 

[SubZero]

Get Maddison off, I suspect this is not the kind of game he shines in. He needs time and space, I think he's better suited against less aggressive teams. And a midfield of Maddison and Bissouma is not ideal, too much sloppiness. Put Sarr in and get Kulusevski central.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Mikey Moore has been poor. I suspect Ange wanted him to learn a bit more about himself today.

Apparently he's now known as Mikey Lewis.

forgot BJ was even playing til he hit it

Well I am afraid that for 90% of that half we were utter rubbish

I am not sure what colour shirts our players think we are wearing....but its not blue and red

And the constant d#cking around playing out from the back, I counted at least 5 times we began at Vicario and within 5 passes had lost it. If we insist on coughing up possession at least hoof it downfield so they start with it in their own half, not 30 yards from our goal

That said the 2 really good chances we had, Johnson and Maddison, tell me, even if we do create its not going to be our day anyway

Dr Tottenham is back on call

 

[Chrissivad]

Too slow with the ball, they are pressing hard making it difficult, but we have struggled all game to make passes.

While I don't want to bring Werner on, at least he would look to get in behind palace. Everything so far has been played Infront of them bar the ball into Udogie from Moore.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Apparently he's now known as Mikey Lewis.

Yes, the Hull KR player

That's the stats we usually get and yet we do less tackles and end up with more cards than the other team.

 

[Bullet]

That was so lacklustre; we started at half speed and never got purring.
They fouled us about 40 times and we roostered up about 40 times so there were only about 5 passages of play where we worked it upfield properly.
Need to give it to Moore more, he's got the beating of his man and makes good decisions, including some nice quick passes for runners.

 

[SkipRat]

Well, we had our Brighton half in the first half, so can do something about it.

Maybe Bentacur for kulu, someone who can link midfield, defence, and the forwards.

 

[Bishop]

forgot BJ was even playing til he hit it

This is normal. He typically has the fewest touches of any player on the pitch.
