***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v Crystal Palace OMT***

I was really surprised Kane put that over the bar... then realised it was Soldado, hardly surprising
 
Sounds like we have got no width.
And they are all over our right/their left.

Predictable, when we play two central midfielders as RM/LM.
If Eriksen is going to play LM -- although I think he should be deeper and central - we have to shore up the right side with someone who will give us width and defensive cover.
 
Diagonal long balls are not going to work unless players are in lots of space, we're a little desperate with our distribution. I can't see Palace keeping this intensity up for 90 minutes.
 
Whats with the Dawson diagonal?

Palace, like every team with no ambition of a top half finish that comes here, will sit back and leave absolutely no space to play through the middle. We need to go direct.

I think when at home, we also need Lennon on the right, or Townsend on the left. I think we are well coached, but players are naturally turning inside, have no space to operate, losing the ball and frustrating the crowd. We need players that will naturally move away from the congested areas and take advantage of the fact that there isn't much distance to cover before arriving at the opposition goal.

We need Lennon on at half time, because otherwise Palace will win this. They have pace and will continue to look like a threat on our pitch. I'm convinced this is it. Tony Gale is on about us needing to quicker, but we can't be when there's no space.
 
Really like Bentaleb. Hope he's here for the rest of his career. Star.

good player with a nice pass but today he is just running into people I hope that as Palace tire second half we will be better, I would take the option to rest Bentaleb and Mason both look a little off the pace.
