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

[JerusalemMan]

No problem at all with this, good use of squad. Few complaints with the last few weeks, the attitude and application of all, from Jose to even Doherty, since half-time against West Ham has been really good. This will be an uncomfortable afternoon but we'll win.

I like your blend of realism and optimism here

Was always going to be a few changes after a game on Thursday and three big games this week.

Ndombele needed a rest, Alli will be needed Thursday/Sunday as will Serge.

I can't see Mourinho starting Dele against Arsenal but that's a discussion for another day

 

[JerusalemMan]

Schlupp has played well against us in recent games so seeing him and Zaha on the bench raises a caution for action late in the game if we aren't well out of sight

 

[billyiddo]

Line ups fine - Palace are terrible lately so should be able to rotate a couple ahead of more important games

Maybe not, but I imagine he will Thursday - which is arguably more important given the league table.

is he the fudger that keeps scoring against us but has never scored any other goals in his career?

Rest Ndombele today and Hojbjerg on Thursday and have both fit and ready for next Sunday

Agreed, and perhaps Bergwijn, Dele and Lamela behind Kane on Thurs. Sonny needs a break at some point

Win today and we're two points off 4th, so a win today and they are equally important

Ooooooh, that's done it.

Yes, agreed. The Croats won't be a push over and there's still some useful teams (esp Man U) left in

 

[Bullet]

Doherty seems to be a case of no alternative.

Tanganga is a much better player than this Doherty guy, he's an absolute fraud on the ball. Scared of his own shadow.

They gave United a game!

Doherty gets a lot of stick on here. Agreed that he's been crap this year, but all players have poor seasons especially at a new club. He was a bit of an odd signing but could feel like a new signing next year if he improves

He should start against Zagreb though

Surprised at Winks starting

I hope he does but he’s shown nothing up to now

With him and Sanchez starting it’s like having 9 men

We're more likely to qualify for Europe from the league than the Europa. We get a second go at Zagreb too. He'll be prioritising league games still at the moment.

Good timing with the comment on Sanchez after two man of the match performances in the last two games

 

[paxtonwolf]

Struggling to get any praise out of those 3 muppets in the Sky Studio.

Please Spurs put in a performance that proves them wrong

Yes. Even scored a few against us when he was at Leiceter. He is rather annoying
