Tottenham Hotspur v Crystal Palace (14 September @ 15.00)

[Nutter-Naylor]

Thanks!
I bought a Fish and Chip shop locally so it has been a steep learning curve for me and hard work. But I am getting to grips with it and loving being my own boss again, without any family interference. Usually I can have time off to get to games but not this week unfortunately.

I opened a fish and chip shop just for the Halibut.....

What are you wearing??

Blue T. Blue Shorts. Puma Navy blue suede trainers. Got a THFC tat on lower leg. Pink carnation behind my ear.

Haddock erred to me that you might have done

 

[Larry David]

Fair enough.
That said, being born and raised south of the river I have a quite rampant hatred for tomorrow’s rivals so turning a discussion about those shit-houses into a debate about the head coaches future does not sit well with me old chap!

I was born and have lived in south London all my life and these absolute fringes have never had my attention

Palace is always a tough game, and they have the best defensive record so far this season. Anyone who thinks this’ll be a walk in the park is mistaken.

 

[Totti]

Ndombele on the bench

I was born in Germany - and am proud to say that I have never invaded Poland or attempted to annex the sudetenland

v

Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Cahill, Sakho, Van Aanholt, Schlupp, Milivojevic, Kouyate, Townsend, Zaha, Ayew.

Midfield is a worry. Winks and Sissoko means Eriksen is going to have to drop deeper to get the ball. Ndombele should have started. Lamela as well, good against the the top teams, but slows it down so much against lesser teams.

Anyway.. I trust Poch so we’ll see.

 

[kingdawson]

Lamela again??? What the actual fuck. This is becoming a joke.

Damn I know Poch loves him but this is silly now. He does the square root of fuck all against these type of teams at home but still gets played.

 

[hiatus]

Aurier exists!

With Lo Celso out for another 6 weeks looks like Poch is wrapping Ndombele in bubble wrap. Can’t say I blame him.

Either 4-2-3-1 with Lamela as the 10 or a 4-4-2 diamond.

 

[Clynelish]

A shame that Ndombele apparently isn't fit enough to start, some good options from the bench though - Ndombele, Dele, possibly Lucas.

So Wanyama has replaced Skipp on the subs bench. Brave New World my fucking arse.

 

[Doom Funk]

Poor team

This is gonna be yet another struggle

Eriksen starting next to him allows Lamela to do Lamela things as secondary creator. It’s a big difference when he’s not trying to be the primary creator.

 

[AndriusTH]

Solid team. And again, so many fucking melters in this forum.

 

[hiatus]

So Wanyama has replaced Skipp on the subs bench. Brave New World my fucking arse.

A theoretically healthy and fit Wanyama is far better than Skipp.

 

[Jenny Talia]

Come on people, are you really going to make me go looking for the Palace team?

 

[OffTheBench]

Jan and Toby at the back, Aurier finally back. Happy about that.
