Snoozer at Selhurst so far.
Spurs’ front line depth is pretty shit. It’s strange they didn’t replace either Bale or Vinicius.

Match Week Four
- Thread starter Morgan's Magic Snowplow
- Start date
He's consistently at or near the top of the most fouled players in the league. I'm sure that gets old.
And a diver to boot. I realize you’re a Palace fan, but his act of bitching to the ref and showing up his teammates all the time is pretty old.
No Son, no Bergwijn, Moura’s the only outlet with real speed and he’s having a Bad Moura game so far.
They’re gonna need Gil as he’s pretty much the only other player like that.
Maybe bring Alli back into the midfield, then put Gil on for Skipp, who’s been brutally slack with passing today.

He has the reputation of a diver, but he really isn't. I know I'm not going to change your mind on this, but I've seen pretty much every game of his since he's been back at Palace, and he's consistently attacked, hacked and harassed. He's been Palace's sole source of offense so often, that teams' gameplay often is to just beat the shit out of him. Watford is the worst -- they would pick up like 7 yellows as they rotate fouling Zaha.
I'm not going to suggest that some of his gestures don't look attractive to some people, but what's he supposed to do? His teammates don't seem to dislike him either, so I'm not sure about him showing up his teammates.
Spurs desperately need to tweak anything other than the back line personnel and keep being forced into subbing on CBs
In the Hodgson days (and before, to be fair), having a man advantage would always freeze Palace up. Hopefully that won't be the case with Vieira.
Oof rare handball so blatant that even as a fan of the team committing it I can have no complaint.
A cross into the box with other defenders in position is not a goal- scoring opportunity for the purposes of the rule.
Worse honestly. I imagine Nuno would’ve at least tried to fix it but then the opportunity was taken out of his hands, which must be irritating.
His lack of involvement had less to do with mentality and more to do with the slack midfield and unthreatening wingers I think, though he did nothing to elevate himself above that morass.
Hooray for international football taking out both starting wingers and CBs number two and three.
I think that the scoreline fairly reflects the teams' performances. It was as good as I've seen Palace look in a long, long time, and as poor as I've seen Spurs.
After 4 years of Roy Hodgson (and no disrespect to Roy at all because he did his job and did it well) this game was also a delight to watch. It was attractive football. I'd rather stay in the league and see unattractive play, but if they can get results and be fun to watch, so much the better.
i disagree with others. No red card and it’s a 1-0 game (or 0-0) one way or the other.
There was a comment in the second half before the red card that Spurs had 3 touches in the Palace box and the last was in the 14th minute. Palace had dominated possession and looked far livelier. I highly disagree that the game was determined by the red- it was coming for Palace regardless.
Anyone else getting error messages across the board on Peacock trying to stream the 10a ET games? I'm seeing "Content request not recognized" for all of them.
Whoever these guys are calling the Brighton game have no idea how to pronouce the new Spanish winger's name. Cucarella. Cucarellia?
Yup, only one game (Brighton/Brentford) is playable, same error message on the rest. Switched to the NBCSN app to get the Man City/Leicester City game.
Brilliant - I'll be totally honest, I thought the NBCSN app had been subsumed by the Peacock rollout.
I feel for the folks trying to watch something on Peacock. Someday we’ll live in 2018 again where you could reliably see all the matches on a functional and featured app.
