Dugout Discussion – Spurs vs Crystal Palace

A busy Sunday treats us to four fixtures before the final international break of 2017 is upon us.

Up first, we make our way to Wembley as Spurs entertain Crystal Palace in the 12pm kick-off.

With four of the top five squaring up later in the day, all eyes are on Harry Kane against the Eagles.

The Tottenham striker is the number one captain choice for Gameweek 11, selected by 27.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers after bagging a brace in four of his last six league outings.

Dele Alli owners are left frustrated, though, as he misses out through a hamstring injury, while at the back, Ben Davies drops to the bench as Danny Rose is handed a first league start of the season.

Still sitting in 20% of FPL sides, Davies looks set for an exodus over the break – he’s failed to start Tottenham’s last four home league encounters at Wembley.

For the visitors, we get another chance to scout Wilfried Zaha as Roy Hodgson’s side prepare for a fine run of fixtures.

The Ivorian international has scored in two of three appearances since being handed a central role up front upon his return from injury.

Over the next six Gameweeks, Palace have four favourable home matches (EVE STO BOU WAT) allied with trips to Brighton and West Brom.

    If only we knew the team sheet before hand. I'd never have captained kane in this side. It's rubbish

    2 Kane goals & 2 Bavies assists had Bavies been playing, has Rose even got a single cross in yet ?

    Get sissoko off and Dembele on.

    Push Eriksen further forward!

      i'll tell him.

    Game lasts 90 minutes people.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not for Kane

    2. Rover
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Does Kane? That's the question!

  10. Differentiator

    Spurs are certainly overdue on getting a penalty.....

    😉

  11. some witty pun
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Eriksen looks Dier

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      World class banter

  12. Chirsbom

    Got to love and hate this game. A team that absolutely smashed the giant Real Madrid is struggling against the bottom team just days later...

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Struggling would imply losing

    2. diesel001

      Different type of skill required. Playing against an open team vs a defensive team.

    3. Sif
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      the " just days later..." bit doesn't help Spurs tbf.

    4. Steinburg FC
      • 9 Years

      only half the team playing that played madrid

  13. pakornk

    Can Spurs' wing backs not play 2 games in a row? Why Pochettino keeps rotating them?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The can play 2 games in a row, but Poch doesn’t need them to play 2 games ... similar quality so makes sense to keep all 4 game sharp and happy

    Unbelievable this beat the best team in the world 3-1 real Madrid and can't even score past shity palace bottom of the league

      Have you ever played football?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. Not gotten paid millions to do it however. What about you?

  19. diesel001

    Kane - shot off target

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      like he's going to get baps without a goal 😆

  20. Rainer

  21. Kuneshwar
    • 6 Years

    Kane.. Klose..

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Klose surely must be too old to play

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Kane first chance!

  23. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Vdier has been great

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Dier

  26. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Why is the roof half closed?

    1. evilfish
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pessimist, it is half open.

  27. Egyptian Giza
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Boring game

  28. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If not for Dier, Palace would be leading now

  29. Sailboats
    • 8 Years

    Ben Mee for England

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They should start all of Pope-Mee-Tarkoski-Lowton

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        They should...works for Northern Ireland which is basically the West Brom back line

    2. Sif
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Should put him alongside Keane again. Great partnership.

    Sneaky elbow in back from Slupp
