Match Crystal Palace v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League - 10.11.18

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Fuck that

International managers don't give a fuck - they'll play 'em and Poch knows that.

If Poch feels we could get away with points without Eriksen and Dele, I'll trust him. They do need a rest.

If Poch deems them not fit to play for us then they should be declared not fit for int. duty too.

Other teams do it, don't see why we shouldn't play the system too!

I entirely agree, but I fear where as some clubs/managers impose this on their players (e.g. Fergie's United, modern-day City) and promote a club > country mentality, we (Poch?) would appear to encourage the opposite and cater to the notion of what the player wants.

I guess one can't cherry pick when it comes to integrity and taking a non-selfish view, but still... Frustrating as fuck.

We should be able to beat Palace without Dele or/and Eriksen.

It's Palace, ffs.

We play before every single top 6 team. Go in there and get out of there with an important 3 points and sit back and wait for at least one of them to drop points tomorrow.

Lloris

Trippier---------Sanchez----------TA----------Davies

Winks----------Skipp----------Eriksen

Lamela--------Kane----------Alli​

I just can’t see Poch going with Skipp any more than he went with your suggestions to go with Winks and Onomah a couple of years ago. Arguably holding a Winks back until Poch judged he was ready helped him in the long run. I would however like to see Skipp come off the bench from time to time and get some starts if we end up playing in the Europa.
