Match Crystal Palace v. Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday, December 13, 2:15 PM GMT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The issue is that he has an insanely bad first touch and no close control whatsoever, he can only play with huge amounts of space. He's even worse than Moura in that regard and unless he improves drastically in close spaces, he won't make it.

Which is odd - because last season, those were his best attributes.

No idea what's going on.

And no one has said he was Messi.

Messi would have been an absolute passenger in our last 3.
 
I hope you don't mind me saying "I told you so" but... I told you so.

Add another 10m to Bale's wage costs and we could have got Eze

Told us what???

....Eze was a known quantity... No-one's suprised that he's decent.

It wasn't a matter of money that saw him go to Palace. He's obviously there because it guarantees him more gametime.
 
Reguilon - found himself in very good positions at least 4 times and made wrong decisions

Dire - he's just rubbish, nothing player that benefited from playing next to great players like Jan, Toby and Mousa in systems that masked his clear weaknesses

Bergwijn - not his best game, he's a much better player than we saw in the 1st half

Hugo, Toby, Pierre, Tanguy, Harry, Sonny - excellent as usual
 
There is a reason Jose has 3 defender on the bench and 3 subs!

Palace definitely have a goal in them but as they push on we probably do them on the counter.

Rggie been a bit unproductive and caught out of position a couple of times.
Bergwien doing what SB does - sorry i just dont see it. Hook him for Gio or Moura.
Sissoko - tremendous, please no red, please.
Dier and Toby - really solid against a tricky attack

FT 1-3

Reggie certainly has not been unproductive.

He's been a massive threat down our left hand side. Made a number of dribbles, few good crosses and a great shot at goal.

He has been caught out a couple times, but certainly not unproductive.
 
Agree with most people berg has been poor. No threat going forward and not really helping down the palace left in defence. Choice of either GLC, Lucas or Dele I’m his place I think. Bolster midfield and play Kane and Son up top.
