Big Sam thinks Tompkins will be back next week which is a massive plus for us.

Btw Liverpool have only won once without Mane in their side and his out for the season.

COYP.

Spurs is clearly the hardest of the games we still have to play in the run in with the form they're in. Still Swansea ran them close before collapsing in a heap at the end so you never know. Think it's more important to stuff Burnley because we can finish above them if we do.

Liverpool are very beatable. Will suit Palace to a tee. I predict 1-3 win for Palace. Us having to play against Leicester was very hard but Liverpool's attacking style will suit us. Hennessey needs to be awake though (he should have stopped that Vardy goal). That's the issue with Hennessey I'm afraid: a very competent keeper but it take's enormous amounts of concentration for him to keep that up as he's naturally lazy. Sorry.

Strangely I think the Burnley game is the hardest one. We know about Pool and the Yids and whatever the result, we'll accept it whatever. But the pressure is v Burnley, a good team who have played the big boys off th3 park more than once. Something we'd all like Palace to be, a side full of young British fighters against the cocky millionaires from abroad.
Liverpool at Anfield, they need, should do the job, but Palace are no longer 9-0 merchants. Clyne going forward, not really a defender these days, so a harassing Wilf may help keep him back. And Palace play well on the break, a scenario offered by both Pool and Spurs. Burnley won't though, like the Foxes.
Anyway, Palace should get at least one point, which, the way way the others in bargain basement are playing, is like gold. Just don't expect too much and Palace, as usual, wil, surprise.

1 point at Anfield would be great.
chip away at that points total.
cant see a win & also nowt against spurs, but again 1 point at the Lane would be great also.
would set us up for sealing the deal vs Burnley (hopefully)
Don't want to play Hull with points needed.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

I don't think we could play Damo Vs Liverpool. As much as I love the guy, playing him would play into Liverpool's game plan. Playing Liverpool's style, you'll need to play defenders who are competent and calm on the ball, and won't just hoof it all game.
