So Palace faced up to reality on Sunday as Tottenham
Hotspurs controlled large swathes of the game against Palace as the eagles
lacked a fulcrum upfront with Bolasie taking the role on in the absence of a
recognised striker since Glenn Murrays sale and Conner Wickhams injury.
Tottenham’s goal came from Korean Son Hueng Min who has now
scored four goals for Tottenham in 5 games Palace played very well and Cabaye
hit the post twice. Indeed Palace’s performance was mediocre and lacklustre
going forward as spurs made sure of the victory via collective attacking and
Palace looked off the pace despite Pardew bringing on Frazier Campbell to give
more bite to the Palace attack.
Yet Tottenham controlled large parts of the
game with Eric Lamela and substitution Erikson who came on for Chadli were very
effective for spurs. A reality check for Crystal Palace due to a poor
performance and the punters expecting Palace to make Europe definitely need a
reality check as it is a long way off given the experience of other Premier
league teams.
So we move on to a London Derby against Charlton which
should be spicy. Then Palace travel to Vicarage road to play Watford.
