What do you mean? We essentially continued where we left off last season under Tuchel. Goals from everyone in the big games. 7 points from Liverpool, Arsenal, and Spurs. All away. Last season we drop points against Zenit and Villa without Lukaku. Without a shadow of a doubt. That is my point. These are the matches we really need Lukaku.

Save Kante for City. Saul and Kovacic here

Tbh, we don’t need Lukaku for the big games. We always do well. We need Lukaku against the Brentfords, Watfords, Newcastle’s, Leeds, etc.

Champions League final?

Wow. Hadn’t realise that. 3 points next week and we could genuinely break away.

A win next weekend will definitely give that feeling.

352 a definite option against clubs with physical midfielders.

He practically plays as a CF/CAM when he does. When Kante came on and we played a 352, Kovacic operated as a box to box. Mpunt would strive there IMO.

If Mount is to have any success here it would be in that Kovacic role we saw the 2nd half.

Put Bruno where Mount was we’d be 1 or 2-0 up.

I thought James was bloody suspended. Why the fuck isn’t he starting?

And a complete waste of an opportunity to finish the half. Horrid, horrid attacking display once again.

Mount completely ignoring Lukaku’s run

Need pace in our attack.

Kepa being Kepa

No defending him this season.

Awful yet again. When will it end?

Surprised by that Spurs lineup. Lot of players looking like they are forced in after recent injuries.

He most certainly will unless we miraculously close down every shot from midfield.

That Greek left back and Milner battered Zaha and Ayew all match, no yellow cards. Ward makes a 50/50 challenge, instant yellow card. Let’s not ignore Palace’s missed penalty call. Normally this wouldn’t bother me but the amount of shit decisions that have gone our way recently has me fuming.

Least Saints did us a solid. Score line flattered Liverpool and the official made no secret who he was favoring that entire 90. He needs looking at. Can Burnley just fuck off already?

Twice now Palace fall asleep on corners.

Also doubts the South Americans for Spurs will feature given they’ve had only one training session. If that’s the case we need to take full advantage.

Palace need to continue with the long balls

Son, Moira, and Berwijn likely out.
