Actually them pull backs and blocks are to stop counter attacks. Rodri doing it for years gets away constantly. We get punished.

Yeah i thought it was PEH for both then rewatched and saw it was VDV.
I agree.
I worry about Palace countering down that side if he was out as he so often runs the left but I trust Van de Ven to cover well (as well as Davies to do a job) and we should dominate so much of the ball that by making it count shouldn't hinder us too much.
Well he did say:Even if he was would you really expect him to answer that???
"It is good to have Biss; it is gong to be a tough game and he'll be important for us."
So unless he's making the tea it sounds very much like he'll be involved.
that will be a big loss
That's as much of a non-answer as you can find, he could be seen as important by cheering on from the sidelines in a gaudy tracksuit for all we know there...
He's never going to state in a pre-match presser who will start, won't start, or will come on later in the game. If Bissouma had been out injured then the question of whether he was back or not might be given a straight answer, but he wasn't, he was suspended, and now he's available, that's it.
Palace won't have Olise or Eze, their 2 main attacking outputs. Schlupp is back, who has loved a goal vs Spurs in the past.
I think they'll sit in, play for the point and hope for a set piece, especially off the back of a 4-0 drubbing from Newcastle.
We need to take our chances and not be so wasteful.

But better to have him fit than risk injuring him for a long time.
We play fucking intense football
I really like Eze... and am SO glad he's out tomorrow...
I could GENUINELY see us going for him in the Summer (if not January, if Ange wants genuine competition for that AM role)
I reckon it sounds like Udogie may start on the bench - if at all - but I trust Davies to come in, the same way that PEH did a job on Monday.
It's pointing to this kinda line-up:
Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Davies(?)
Bissouma Sarr
Kulu Maddison Johnson/Richie?
Son

Looks like we are the only top 4 team that hasnt at least had a penalty this season! Wonder how long it is before we find out who our penalty taker is!
I like this, he knows he is coming here in Jan and wants to win the league , so he has decided not to play!
No idea why I can’t see this thread in the forum index.
I’m not ignoring the thread starter, and I’m not ignoring the thread.
Very odd
Maybe both are ignoring you?
What have you done?
Wow... Amazing stat;
