When did Tomkins get his move up to a bigger club?
and townsend's response - or lack thereofThat Lamela nutmeg!
Poch needs to learn about premium season preps. We are fortunate to win this game. Amazing how our best and brightest from last season are struggling.

not buying the idea that history should affect our starts. its all about pre season, and i don't think poch knows how yet.We are historically notoriously slow starters; plus the struggling best and brightest are the ones with no pre-season to talk about... coincidence??

Im a little worried here.
Too easy to compare ourselves to the competition and feel satisfied that we are better than the. It's about realising the potential of the team that counts.I'm not buying that story you're selling.
We were not fortunate. We were the better team and, on balance, deserved a narrow victory. If Palace had won, they'd have been fortunate. But not us winning this match.
Our view can be tainted by the knowledge of how much better we can play, but let's not despise the average performances that lead to close victories just by dint of us being better than the opposition rather than displaying a lengthy series of scintillating virtuoso moments from our star players.

I think Poch prefers Wanyama to Dier. That is why he is forcing him in the team when we do not need to holding midfielders. When Dembele is back im pretty sure it will Dier that makes way.
If he continues to play Janssen I also see it affecting HArry's game. Yes he can play deep and has a decent pass. But he is at his most effective at the point of the attack. We are negating what he brings to the team to force Janssen in.
When Dembele comes back where is one of Dele, Eriksen and Lamela going to go if Kane is back in those positions.
I think its no co-incidence that Kane and Dier have looked average so far this season out of position. Whilst Wanyam and Janssen have had good starts.
I feel it has to be one or the other with both of them. Dier or Wanyama, Kane or Janssen. But not for the formation all over to get them all in.
