Palace (A) - PL 4 January 2023

[The Cryptkeeper]

I am very nearly at the point of not being bothered to watch.

Actually, fuck it…I will catch a replay when it suits me later on and go to a show instead.

I need to be entertained.

Palace 1-0. I just can’t see us winning.

 

[Don Diaz]

We need Mr Bentancur back asap and Kulu on the wing.

We'll win tonight. 2-1

 

[BrooklynYid]

Lose this and things will start to get real ugly. Hopefully we pull it out, because I could see Conte burning the place to the ground if things go bad. Levy should either back him or let him walk. There's really no in between. I am predicting that we'll grind out a win because I am a delusional optimist.

 

[ClemFandango]

Everything at the moment feels like the usual death spiral we've seen one too many times with managers so I can almost inevitably see Palace taking the lead at some point.

Whether or not we can turn that around and grind out a win, I don't know. One thing that won't change is that Zaha will still be a cunt.

 

[Yid]

Palace will take the lead with us failing to turn up for at least 45 mins...

On us to then do 90 mins work in 45 again...

Fuck watching this shit...

 

[J.spurs]

Hard to see which way this one will go. My gut feeling is that we will win like @Yid is talking about--shit first half, second half rally--and we'll know even less about the team after the game than we do now.

 

[ClemFandango]

Lloris; Romero, Lenglet, Dier; Doherty, Højbjerg, Skipp, Perišić, Bryan, Son, Kane

 

[BrooklynYid]

At least there's no Emerson! Small victories.

 

[Havocc]

Good luck everyone

 

[Havocc]

However, if we win, we are 3 points off 2nd place which is mad

 

[Style And Glory]

However, if we win, we are 3 points off 2nd place which is mad

If we win.
That's like a Mammoth, Magic Mountain to climb for us at this stage the way we are going.
Definitely not a given by a long way.

But yes, crazy that a win puts us that close to 2nd.

 

[Havocc]

Son has forgotten how to football.

 

[ClemFandango]

Gil putting in a good shift so far. Palace offering nothing

 

[ClemFandango]

That was a “shot” reminiscent of Andros Townsend ..

 

[ClemFandango]

Not the best half of football I’ve ever seen but decent enough compared to the last few games. Here’s hoping for the usual second half improvement

 

[BrooklynYid]

Quick recap: Palace starts out letting us have the ball, after several minutes they realize we are crap and start attacking without thought. We stagger and randomly launch balls forward. And Son had a look but it may have cleared the top of the stadium. That's all I got.

 

[J.spurs]

A bit more energy in the first 10-15 minutes. But we have no plan at all going forward.

 

[ClemFandango]

There you go ..

 

[Havocc]

WE HAVE OUR TOTTENHAM BACK

 

[ClemFandango]

Wait, we’re 2-0 up? I am confused and scared

 

[ClemFandango]

Gil has been excellent tonight. Definitely deserves to keep his place.

 

[BrooklynYid]

Should've been 3. CONTE OUT!

 

[J.spurs]

Didn’t see that coming.

 

[BrooklynYid]

OK fine, he can stay.

 

[ClemFandango]

Now Antonio, that’s how a RWB should play. Not fucking Captain Calamity Emerson fucking Royal ..

 

[ClemFandango]

Cricket score ..

 

[BrooklynYid]

Who knew attacking football could produce goals?

 

[BrooklynYid]

Why not give Spence a run? WHY??????

 

[J.spurs]

Gil was a bright spot in the 1st half, and has been excellent in the 2nd. I like the look of Sarr as well. His movement stands out and he looks very composed on the ball.

 

[ClemFandango]

Can we just acknowledge our fans singing “You’re just a shit Aaron Lennon” at Zaha ?
