Can someone who knows more than me tell me about the Brighton/Palace rivalry?

[hatterson]

Stories like that are why I love English football. They make Habs v Leafs or other rivalries we have over here look silly.

Really wish that game was televised instead of the alternatives, (but obviously know why it isn’t).

But can Mo Salah do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?

But can Mo Salah do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?

Hughes has been playing Kevin Wimmer as his left most centre-half in a back three lately, and man is he awful. Salah should have no issue exploiting him if he plays. Happy that Spurs sold him.

 

[chasespace]

And here comes the winter schedule crunch.

Also, Salah will have no problems dealing with Wimmer. Have to imagine they'll roll Indi-Shawcross-Zouma as their backline

Don’t think it’s supposed to rain. We may never know.

 

[YNWA14]

Also I wouldn't be surprised if Salah is rested; he certainly could use it. I don't want him burnt out before the stretch or important CL/EL games.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Lamela is on the bench tonight for the first time in over a year.

As long as Stoke avoid trying to injure him.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Lamela is on the bench tonight for the first time in over a year.

There should be a multi like button or a hear button.

COCO is back. I just hope he can enjoy himself and then settle in slowly before forcing his way on to WC! LETS GO!

 

[Baxterman]

Jesus that's brutal.

This EPL season is quickly turning into crap.

 

[Baxterman]

Flukes at both ends of the pitch this is looking like Leicester from two seasons ago.

If Tottenham hadn't looked like dog crap for the past month I might just pass it off as bad luck since they are clearly playing much better than Leicester but it is starting to be concerning just how awful they've been in the EPL this year.

No wonder. Eriksen has been a ghost of himself for 80% of the season. Wanyama's absence is notable too.

 

[Cassano]

I must be watching a different game entirely. Leicester clearly the better side at the moment.

I missed the 1st 4 minutes but since then Leicester had the one "chance" that they scored and other than that have been 10 guys back with no control or threat at all.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Get Sissoko off the pitch please.

 

[Baxterman]

Danny Rose has been the best Leicester player so far.

Danny Rose has been the best Leicester player so far.

You mean the player who bailed out Hugo on a sure goal?

 

[Baxterman]

Jesus that's two gimmees that they missed, Sissoko I understand but how did Alli not score?

 

[YNWA14]

I think I commented on this before (a few weeks ago, when people were claiming Watford were playing better than Liverpool) but you could see this coming for Spurs. They've been punching above their play this season. Even against Liverpool aside from capitalizing on brutal defensive mistakes they didn't look great in the overall run of play.

They should still beat Leicester though. They're not very good.

 

[Baxterman]

I think Alli could have got it if Rose wasn't there but I was talking more about the Rose that has wasted three or four crosses where he had zero pressure from a Leicester player.
