I dislike Fat Sam immensely. But the fat man usually gets his tactics right against us. Need to secure 2nd spot.

GS11 · 26-04-2017 1:02pm

Getting it big time from the chelsi fan that Palace are going to do us, really hope we win this and shut him and fat sam up.

Kiith · 26-04-2017 4:13pm

They are quite weak defensively at the moment, so i'm quite confident about this. They beat an awful Liverpool at the weekend, but we are stronger then they are in almost every area (especially without Mane).

prodsc · 26-04-2017 7:06pm

Lloris (C), Walker, Dier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.

Subs: Lopez, Trippier, Wimmer, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Son, Janssen.

Just do it! ...(please)

tom1ie · 26-04-2017 7:36pm

I hope we get a good result tonight against these. Tonight will tell a lot about our mental strength. I predict a 0-3 win Kane Ali and eriksen.

2nd Row Donkey · 26-04-2017 8:09pm

Townsend well up for this.

Need an early goal to settle us.

Kiith · 26-04-2017 8:29pm

We've been absolutely woeful so far. Palace look far more lively, and likely to score.

Kiith · 26-04-2017 8:44pm

Dembele has been really poor, but we should take Wanyama off before he gets booked again.

Eriksen and Dele poor also. Terrible performance

Ormus · 26-04-2017 8:53pm

I think Eriksen has been our best player.
Mousa looks hobbled and Viktor on last warning. Not good. Hard to see a goal here. Maybe bring on Sonny? Wish we had Winks on the bench.

2nd Row Donkey · 26-04-2017 9:04pm

Woah.

Big substitutions.

Dembele and Wanyama work great as a pair breaking down attacks and starting new ones. Son and Sissoko are the polar opposite.

Gone to a back 4.

Dier in CM with Alli.

Son and Sissoko (useless) out wide with Eriksen behind Barry

Absolute madness. The pressure seems to be getting to him.

It's not madness. Dembele was injured and Wanyama was one foul away from red, making him useless.

2nd Row Donkey · 26-04-2017 9:33pm

Walker has been stone useless tonight.

Kiith · 26-04-2017 9:34pm

What a hit!! Fantastic from Eriksen!!

The high horse brigade · 26-04-2017 9:35pm

Lovely

Glebee · 26-04-2017 9:36pm

Thank fcuk for that

Armchair Andy · 26-04-2017 9:38pm

Harry don't be so greedy.

Kiith · 26-04-2017 9:54pm

Way tighter than i'd have liked, but we were far better in the 2nd half.

The high horse brigade · 26-04-2017 9:55pm

A hard earnd 3 pts. I'm surprised, Sissoko played well

2nd Row Donkey · 26-04-2017 9:55pm

Great result. Great determination.

On nights like this you need a moment of magic to turn a win into a draw, great stuff from Eriksen.

Embarrassed yourself there asshole,

2nd Row Donkey · 26-04-2017 10:05pm

I thought Sissoko was as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike.

Couldn't beat this man any time he took him on which as rarely, crosses never got beyond the first defender and first touch terrible. Can't warm to him.

Walker was poor, and Alli had a quiet one.

I actually thought he was as bad as ever... I even think the players look up see it's sissoko and try and keep it themselves. Great win though

You never post in a Spurs thread, or even in the soccer forum....go back to Ann summers and shove your wife's instruments up your arsenal!

Lads, we need way more belief....we will win the rest of our games and Chelsea will draw 2, putting us up top. Also we need less talk of selling our best players....best team spirit in the league....why would any of our best players leave to inferior teams like Utd....keep the faith and wait for us to be crowned prem champions....and I reckon we will beat arsenal 4-1!

Hope your right but gooners n hammers will be really pumped up against us.

Sugarlumps · 27-04-2017 7:20am

What a f?cking win, had stalemate written all over it. Absolute battle. Only a spectacular hit divided the sides. A scrappy 1-0 is far more enjoyable than a 4-0 romp.

Pochettino was brave and got his tactics spot on.

Robxxx7 · 27-04-2017 8:28am

Potential Banana skin last night against an inform team ... after the changes at half time we controlled the game far better and looked dangerous ... Palace was doing the Park the bus formation and hoping a ball out to either Townsend or Zaha would catch us out ... we stuck at it and a wonder strike from Eriksen got us the 3 points ... Dont think Lloris had to do too much either last night .. very good gritty performance ... we have moved a step up from last season without a doubt ...

Hopefully Dembele will be fit for Sunday and we can keep putting the pressure on the Chavs

2nd Row Donkey · 27-04-2017 8:31am

I hope we follow up our rumoured interest in Zaha. I think he could do well under Poch. Would add some much needed pace to our attack. Definitely an improvement on Sissoko

I have the same thought .. premiership experience, bit of pace and tracks back .. just wish he would stay on his feet a bit more .. gets pushed off far too easily ..although he does often end up with a free kick ..

Definitely a major improvement on Sissoko. I think he'd be a good squad player. Is he much improvement on Son though? I suppose no harm if he at least provided genuine competition. Would be pricey though, we're talkin £25-30m for a squad player, English premium.

GS11 · 27-04-2017 10:10am

Great result, very good second half.

How good is eriksen, as good as Luka now imo, also thought Sissoko was useful when he came on, added some physicality which helped.

Wouldn't mind Zaha, Lamela will prob leave so it would be like for like.

SuprSi · 27-04-2017 10:11am

I dunno, all he seemed to have were a few fancy tricks, some pace and the ability to draw a foul out of every player that went near him. Is he worth £25 - 30m , considering what options could be available on the continent?

I thought he looked their most dangerous player throughout. We had to double mark him most of game

Mr. Guappa · 27-04-2017 2:12pm

Great result.

Whatever the rest of this season brings, Poch has achieved miracles with such a thin squad. We have excellent cover at both FB positions, but aside from that we're light. The versatility of Son and Dier has been key in our recent run as they mask the lack of quality options. Lamela and Winks are our only injured players, and you're always going to have some injuries.

Last summers recruitment was poor, with only Wanyama having an immediate impact. I think this summer we need to have a better transfer window as our luck with injuries can't continue.

Ormus · 27-04-2017 2:24pm

Agreed. On the bright side, I don't think our summer recruitment can get much worse.

Still wish we could give Janssen a bit more time, but we need to buy more cover for Harry and if we do, Vincent probably won't get a look in. I wonder would he go on loan to a lower Premiership team.

Sissoko has gotta go. Even when he does try his ball control is shockingly bad.

Nkoudou could come good but probably won't, so we should let him go. It's kinda funny how similar a season he's had to N'jie.

Kiith · 27-04-2017 4:44pm

It's hard for any fringe players to get time with how important these games are. If we go 2-3 goals up in any of our remaining games, i'd like to see Jansen and N'koudou getting more than 30 minutes in a few games.
