Thank you Hugo.

To me it just seems like usual Spurs, turn up against an inferior team and think you will win. More effort required

Kane behind Soldado? Not blaming Poch for picking him given the very few options; just saying that Townsend is having a mare

Kane behind Soldado would work

lloris :ross:

best player by a country mile. its not even close.

is it possible that he might stay?

very slow paced game. i get the feeling we are managing to set the tempo but are lacking the ability to really impose ourselves and start creating.

Yes, look at our CM pairing and you'll see why

Count Dembele's touches. Never two touch; always far too slow to pass it

Exactly, and he is trying today to be faster, but those two in the middle will slow us way down. Be great if Mason can get fit quick!

 

[Huddy]

Lloris so quick of his line.

He's released it well enough. Saying you have to always release it after 2 touches is a bit silly

 

[shaney]

This is all verrrrrrrrry slowwwww !

Not always but he never does

Way too many touches appparently

 

[Huddy]

I've missed Walkers surges forward.

But that is such a lazy view mate. Such a cliche. Look at the game we are watching. Palace defending in massive numbers and showing little interest in doing anything other than springing a break, our first choice CMs out...we need a flash of inspiration but this is not the worst performance all things given...

not really, gives it away, then twice risks a drag back in double coverage when he has an open pass on

get it, give it, move

 

[Baleforce]

exactly, it's 1 touch ;-)

 

[Rorschach]

Cynical foul that

 

[Armchair Expert]

hope lamela is fit soon. i reckon he's going to come good. he'd be more useful here than townsend.

 

[DHSF]

Uneventful and mundane first half.

I am pretty sure it will pick up - but we do need to score first...
