Originally posted by Uphill Milivojevic, Kouyate - holding midfielders ?? Both can break up play but neither can hold the ball for more than a second.

If Brighton can beat Spurs on Saturday it will say much about our defensive tactics. The idea is that they would win the ball back and give it to the creative 3 in front of them.

If Brighton can beat Spurs on Saturday it will say much about our defensive tactics. Such a negatively selective viewpoint. We have conceded 7 goals this season -- joint second and only two more than Liverpool. But you pick as your yardstick the one game in which things went wrong against a side that shredded many in Europe last year. Also, remember we had a notoriously slow-to-get-match-sharp Sakho coming back. And then you say if Brighton beat them that it defines our defence? What if it's 8-7? C'mon. No. Our defence isn't second best in the league but I'll wager we'll have fewer goals against come May than Brighton and many other sides. And that is what defines our defence. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Are you calling foul the clearly logical equation (that I first came up with whilst at school) that because we were beaten 4-0 by Spurs and Spurs were beaten 7-2 by Bayern, that we would lose by at least nine goals to Bayern if we played them. I don't understand why a game we're not involved in can't define us. If only RH were here to clarify. So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet.

He had one game against Colchester and didn't impress, what makes people think he can produce in the Premier. Being foreign doesn't make you a superstar. Roy has found a use for Meyer, coming on in the last 10 mins, when opposition getting tired, then he has more space to perform.
