Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace match thread

[palace72]

As they had four men around the back post someone at Tottenham has noticed.

Just had to watch the Ipswich home game when 3 corners in a row went to the back post ,awful centre backs who cant spot this in play then the coaching staff dont seem to pick it up after the game.But hey there all learning /work in progress should be a lot more easy to do this next year in the championship.

Anyone like to explain why our big strapping centre half is wearing gloves 🤦‍♂️

Got horseshoes in them. Hopefully will lay one on Van de Ven

Have we had a touch in their box yet?
Turgid

I thought Mingey was doing ok against their star signing. So off he goes.

 

[JHB]

A couple of things I keep hearing are that our attacking play has been better under Sage and we’ve been defensively better recently.

I have to say I am struggling to square those assertions with conceding 8 goals in our last three league games (so far) while scoring zero. Also with scoring a goal a game in the league on average and being on pace to score 38 goals which is 3 fewer than last season.

Let’s face it we are awful

I’d actually read it’s quite a damning indictment of Sage, that we now look better down to ten men.

We’re only having to defend what is practically a 40 yard area.

The issue comes when behind 1-0 is the same as 5-0. A loss is a loss.

When it’s 11 against 11 and we are expected to attack, we look like we’ve got more holes than Prince Andrew’s defences.

Randy is innocent

In the hope of disproving the critisism that he never lays a glove on anyone?

I wonder whether Sage felt he could get a 2nd yellow ..

 

[Eden Eagle]

McNeil should score..

 

[Nicholas91]

Awful from McNeil. FFS honestly the quality in show in this game is abysmal.

Tbf I can see a back line which I could not see until the last few games, the midfield line is harder to spot

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

Parish looked angry I felt.

Don’t know why a lot of this is in him..!!

Best league in the world ! Lol

 

[Palace Old Geezer]

How much more time are you thinking?

Maybe till the end of this game?

 

[TheBigToePunt]

Porro there, leaving Canvot for dead by using the old pro's trick of changing direction.

 

[edskan]

Stop saying sack Sage, the players have not thrown in the towel. Get behind your team,we are playing well and very unlucky to be down to ten.I think we look much better going forward than under OG, yes we are more vulnerable at the back but I believe PS deserves more time to get it right!!

Can I please have whatever you're on.

 

[PalazioVecchio]

Gallagher knows all our defenders. Fantastic

So...cheating?

 

[JHB]

Aye. Much better going forward under Sage apparently but on pace to score fewer goals than last season under Glasner. One of those things is a fact
