tbf you could say that of all bar maybe 3 or 4 clubs in europe. (AmI going OTT about this lad ?) I don't think so. IMO he's a couple of seasons away from being the complete midfielder. He's already very good.

Winj would walk into that midfield.

He's got a winger at right back, a midfielder as a Cd and Lindergaard starting who wouldn't even get in our side.

It's almost like VanG is putting million into the Dutch league.

Two expensively assembled mediocre sides. No shots on target for either in 45min of midfield interchanging tedium.

Palace fans can get nasty if they turn.

Just right for the PL and comes forward at times like a sweeper. Mistakes will decline as he gets used to the league.

Cabaye used to get moody and petulant like his bum chum Debuchy.

They'll finish mid table. Forget about it.

Pair of donkeys. Wham are a decent hard working side with a couple of stand out players.

Totally agree. It's going to be a long nervy season unless we get a 1/3 type striker in.

Worth 30m already I reckon.

The bloke is a total shambles as everyone in here said once he loses Bolasie or Punch for any length of time it will fall apart.

He'll crack soon and start blaming everyone but himself.

You can see he's really green in certain situation and needs time on the ball. There's a player in there but it looks like it will take time. Could really do with another striker right now.

Masterclass from Shelvey for about 70min till he tired. First signs of a balanced midfield at last. Mitro needs to start putting the ball in the net.

Shelvey bringing calm and vision to the mf is a revelation. Should really be 4 up.

Shelvey started well.

He's one of those players that make it look like they're getting through a lot of work.

6 would be nice.

3-2

Run of easier games. Just looked them up... Pochetinno has been more defensive this season especially in Nov and Dec it has been one constant criticism of Spurs who made a bright start and have credentials for a top 4 side - a squad packed with talent. 5 draws against bottom 6 sides. 2 goals at home in the last 5 PL games if you take Norwich out of the equation. If you want expert insight just ask. The main reason we won there is they bunch up in the middle and are over intricate with little width my original point reg Townsend and Chadli rarely getting a start.

Lamela comes inside the whole time Hoddle is going nuts about it.

He's not had a chance in the Spurs side because Poch as being demonstrated now is obsessive about playing through the middle. Hence why they have been struggling to score goals lately. Jabba has packed the middle and the Spurs players are tinkering around the edges of it with no penetration.
