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

[paxtonwolf]

Mr Coleman, sometimes the ref wont let you take a quick free-kick....

 

[JerusalemMan]

Winks should have picked out Doherty's run there

 

[Baleforce]

I'm still tinkled off about that Cahill tackle on Bale when he was at Bolton.

 

[djp82]

This is going to be a tough night . Palace got a lot of body’s in the box.

 

[StephenH]

Move the ball quicker guys

 

[Bedfordspurs]

This is going to be a tough night . Palace got a lot of body’s in the box.

It’s what they always do
So you have to assume our players know what to do to deal with it

 

[Kandi1977]

We go to Leicester last game of the season. Could be an interesting finish! Think we want 7 points from the 3 games before the international break

No, we want 9

 

[AdamB]

Bale looking infinitely more interested in getting involved than he has been in pretty much all his games. Makes us so much more dangerous

 

[djp82]

Move the ball quicker guys

Exactly . This only way you hurt palace . Move them about quickly.

Really want to understand something - is Kane our target man. Why is he not in the box. That passage of play needed him in the box not outside. Palace can defend for ages like this.

He isn't our 'target man'

 

[AdamB]

No, we want 9

ok, 'at least' 7. All 3 games are tough - I'd take 7 points now!

 

[djp82]

It’s what they always do

I don’t assume anything after watching us this season.

 

[Bishop]

Winks needs to pass the ball quicker and between the lines more. It's a little bit too safe and slow from midfield today.

 

[Legohamster]

I’d forgotten just how ponderous winks is

 

[SteveAWOL]

Winks should have picked out Doherty's run there

What with Winks through-ball ability he might’ve ended up scoring!

 

[Briddo1882]

The only way we will score will be on the break - defensively they are very organised

 

[Jurgen the German]

You can say that about every team from mid-table up to 3rd

Of course but at the same time we are 8th. If we were 5th and had to overtake one team it would be a lot more straightforward. We have to be better than 4 other teams. Again, not out of the question but you’d always back the team in 4th or 5th rather than the team who sits 7th/8th. Same goes for Liverpool. They’ve got to overtake 3 teams.

 

[billyiddo]

Lacking some guile through the middle with Winks & Moura in the 8 and 10 positions

 

[Kandi1977]

ok, 'at least' 7. All 3 games are tough - I'd take 7 points now!

I'd still take 9, whether they are tough or not.

 

[Baleforce]

our mid range passing has been brick
