Show a bit more faith mate, I expect a win with a bit to spare tomorrow. Palace may have upped their game a bit lately, but then so have Spurs. Very negative to think anything other than a Spurs win. I know nothing should be taken for granted, but frankly if you are thinking Palace at home will be trickey, then every other match we play for this rest of the season will be worse.
Treading on the article below's toes a bit this.
However I dont think it will be a banana skin at all. In fact, I am confident for only the third time this season that we will record a good score (previous two were WHU and Liverpool lol)
The players must be fully focused, and the fans be up for the game and behind us. It’s a big game – first home game of the year, and if we win it sends us above media darlings, title contenders, top 4 certainties and totally world class outfit, Liverpool.

Uh oh you have set off the Bat signal and mentioned the word Liverpool - Llori and his team of many men will be here in seconds
Sorry didn't see the article below. Must have been posted barely a minute apart
Totally agree with the article and I think Pulis must have a decent record at WHL if I'm not mistaken?
Like spurs ever have any easy games
Another day at the torture chamber that is WHL me thinks...

De Niro and Stallone have Palace to win.
So we are facked then.
PS Can't understand why people would want to see 2 DMs line up against crystal palace
Smeg you have summed up how I feel.
The only positive I can draw is that we are still in the mix for top 4 and I hope our 107 million signings start settling and start coming together as a team and a real prospect.
Hope and blind faith I think
Any news on Paulinho?
Will he be back for the City game?
Sizzle, Jesus your positive
Look we actually turn up tommorow we will beat palace no problem. If we can't beat palace at home then frankly we dint deserve to be top 4. Near enough all the top sides have beaten palace at home and we can't drop points tommorow. This would also be a great confidence booster if we can go 4th even if it's for only a day. Tommorow I will be livid if we don't win.
Not that I want to try and tell you how to support the team smegs, cos I hate it when people do that.
However I cant say I agree with any of that, despite all the negatives that have come our way in recent months. We are still 2 points off top 4, and so much easier to watch than we were under Ramos or Santini.
Great squad with some class players. I dont understand why some people want to miss it.

My team has 1 dm - capoue.
Hello spur club fans
I hope you make 4th. But I have my doubts you will get 6th even.
Keep trying. God loves a trier.

Some people believe Dembele is a DM
When In reality if he's playing alongside capoue / Sandro he has a licence to get forward so is a CM
Dembele is a DM! Don't know how you guys watch him and think he's anything more than that...
You can push him forward a little but that doesn't change the fact he's a DM who breaks up play but can't create squat
Dembele is a weird one. Its like when a compass is pointing between North East, and East, its North East East.
Dembele is a CMDM

Would you call Jenas a DM?
Not really edin
He's not a defensive midfielder and he's not a attacking midfielder
He's a central midfielder who can play however the tactics want him too
Great minds Chronic
Our teams are similar. I wanted to force Lamela in and dropped Lennon for him (admittedly harsh), but I think Soldado is coming good now and would definitely start him even ahead of my beloved Lamela :'(
Chronic, I really thought you were on my level when it comes to spurs but judging by your line up you can't be. How can you want 2 defensive midfield players against palace at home mate? Sorry mate but I don't want to see that formation ever at home. I would have Paulinho or Dembele in the centre with Eriksen as the attacking midfielder.

But that is why he is a CMDM, as he can play both positions to a similarly high standard
How can people criticise a 442 team as being too defensive?!
Dembele will get forward with Capoue playing.
A front 6 such as
Lennon Bentaleb Eriksen Lamela
Ade Soldado
is madness! If you don't believe me. Rewatch the West Brom game, they could have scored 4/5 whilst we didn't offer too much go forward. You need a BALANCE!
Would you call Jenas a DM?
-------
Did Jenas have any physicality? Could he win the ball back in the middle?
No and No... So Jenas was never a DM.
On the other hand. Jenas created chances. Jenas got in the oppo box. Jenas scored goals
So Jenas was a CM.
Does Dembele do any of that??
No and no... So Dembele is not a CM. He's a DM imo.
