Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Spurs

1,206 Comments
Share

Gameweek 28 continues with a midday kick-off at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace host top-four hopefuls Spurs.

All eyes will be on Harry Kane in this early clash, as he bids to go back ahead of Mohamed Salah in the race for the Golden Boot.

Salah’s 23rd goal of the season helped him to a 10-point return in Liverpool’s 4-1 win over West Ham United. Some 1.2 million Fantasy Premier League managers who have backed Kane with the Gameweek captaincy will be hoping that he can do better today against an injury-ravaged Palace side.

Son Heung-min’s remaining 697,000 owners will be less optimistic after seeing the South Korean’s run of 13 successive Gameweek starts ended today. Son is on the bench with Erik Lamela handed just a third league start of the season in midfield.

Meanwhile, Jan Vertonghen misses out altogether – he’s sidelined by an ankle injury sustained in training as Eric Dier shifts to the defence and Victor Wanyama comes into the engine room. Toby Alderweireld is also sidelined with a “minor” hamstring injury.

Spurs’ injury worries are insignificant compared with the Eagles’ list of casualties. They have 12 first-team players ruled out and are forced to hand a debut to 20-year-old Aaron Wan-Bissaka at right-back today in a makeshift back four. Jairo Riedewald is also drafted into the midfield to help screen the defence.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Surely Palace should adopt rugby tactics here. Punt to touch on Spurs right side. Aurier foul throw gives Palace possession deep in Spurs half.

      Which one? The Van Aanholt foul was a clear penalty. But Hennessey didn't foul Alli. He just went down to save, not tackling Alli at all, while Alli lost the ball and ran to Hennessey.

      Yep. But the thing with Spurs is they do try to help Kane score. At Liverpool they don't try to feed everything to Salah. Look at last season against Leicester - all about feeding Kane. Would Liverpool do the same for Salah?

        Of course not. A main reason why they score is that Firmino, Mané, and Salah are all major goal threats. Start playing goals only for one of them, and the goals will dry up.

          That was kind of what happened earlier in the season when Salah had in around 50% of Liverpool's collective goals. They changed tack and stopped making him the focal point and it has worked very well.

    PvA is ridiculously attacking. Even in this game with how deep they are playing he is up by the penalty box whenever Palace are attacking. Too bad they have so many players out or he could be a good option.
