**OFFICIAL OMT Crystal Palace V Spurs FA CUP**

[NaijaSpurs]

I’m not sure the players ever read this message board but I’m pretty sure they don’t read it during the games.

Go with whatever makes you feel good about yourself

GKN from the free kick with only the keeper to beat. Twice.

An old keeper playing his second game in 2 1/2 years.

 

[StephenH]

This is the fifth game in a row I think where we have been terrible in the first half.

We could be heading for a pair here?

 

[mudshark]

Sanchez looks lost in this three man back three. KWP is muted on the left as he is all right foot. George is useless, no movement from Fernando. Trips cannot get a decent cross in. Only Moura has had any little affect.

Rose on please, N' koudou off for Lamela at least.

80th minute. Can't you wait?

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

What was the first gift?
(I missed the 1st 20mins or so)

The free kick passed to GKN and he missed twice from 6 yards and the penalty, I’m guessing!

 

[Gilzeantoscore]

What 'clever' people like Poch seem to discount is the damage performances like today's, do to the belief of the team. It bricks me to tears seeing managers being flirty with the side's form. Who could not see this coming? BTW, if this is the club's new attitude to the cups, they can offer free admission to home ties. Do they seriously expect fans to pay to watch this crap?

 

[MKSpur]

It’s like neither team wants to go through except we haven’t taken the two gifts from Palace.

2-1 would have given us a platform but I don’t see us turning this around.

Lamela for GKN, I would rather a youth player on the bench than him in future, let alone start him in a game. Winks for Skipp, would like to see him in a more attacking role with Dier anchoring.

Llorente hasn’t had much to work with but he’s shown his balls by not stepping up for that pen.

No one outside the usual first x1 has improved their case for a place in the team.

You're right. Filthy abuse doesn't matter if the recipient doesn't hear it.

 

[djp82]

It quite obvious to anyone with a brain we need an incoming transfer.

Exactly my fear is we will not go into the market at all. If a signing pays off or not is questionable but we must try something.

 

[The Fatman]

Way to support your team

I am supporting them, but saying how I think they are playing, does not mean I am not supporting them.

 

[Spursman]

How pathetic again. No wonder he doesn't pick Gkn. What the hell was Peter's doing!

Trippier terrible pen. Knew he would miss when the wind fudged about.

Poch picked a crap team. Cant play no left footers on the left hand side. What's the point of playing llorente if you're not going to use him.

Chances or trophies all but gone now. What's to bet we don't even beat Watford midweek even after resting a few.

 

[Sandman]

What’s he supposed to do? With the injuries we have he has to protect at least some of the important players.

And like it or not, the FA Cup is objectively less important than finishing top four at this stage in the club’s development.

I don't care. Use what you have. The injured players will come back with a rest for the end of the season. Not even having them on the bench is the mistake.

 

[90291Spur]

It quite obvious to anyone with a brain we need an incoming transfer.

So one player will make up for the absence of son, Kane and Dele? Sure.

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Presumably when they practised that free kick routine it was going to be picked up by Son.

 

[MKSpur]

Do we actually practice crosses!? We are 50% at best to get them into the box.

We don’t have time with all the penalty practice we do

 

[markysimmo]

Im starting to lose patience with Pochettino and his take a brick on the domestic cups attitude

 

[Mikey10]

I’ve been critical of Poch at times, but he’s absolutely nailed this today, he’s clearly instructed them to get knocked out whatever happens.

Can’t see it. He looks furious.

I understand we are without our best four players but I really don’t get the tactics. Our only option without any creative players is to get it wide and then ping it in for Llampostorente, but no. Sideways - backwards - sideways - backwards ad infinitum.

 

[Legohamster]

So one player will make up for the absence of son, Kane and Dele? Sure.

LOL

The strikers are the least of the problem.

There is a huge gap in the middle of the park.

Keep believing the squad is perfect if you want, its not we need a player or two.

 

[ShipOfTheseus]

Sound just like a Gooner

Sounds like a sane, rational pragmatist. Don’t get many of them on bludfamvision.

 

[DeanoAustin]

You're right. Filthy abuse doesn't matter if the recipient doesn't hear it.

That’s not what I said is it?
