John Wenham, a Tottenham expert, remains unconvinced by Crystal Palace’s abilities despite their recent victory in the Premier League under new manager Oliver Glasner. Following Roy Hodgson’s departure, Glasner took charge at Selhurst Park, overseeing a promising 3-0 win against Burnley on February 24.
Despite Palace’s positive start under Glasner, Wenham asserts that Tottenham should still be favorites when they host Palace at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on March 2. Wenham doubts Palace’s ability to replicate their success against Burnley, citing their lack of quality and goal-scoring prowess, especially in the absence of key players like Eberechi Eze.
While acknowledging the potential of young talent like Adam Wharton, Wenham believes it’s unrealistic to expect them to transform the team single-handedly. He criticizes Palace’s striking options, suggesting that neither Jordan Ayew nor Odsonne Edouard meet the standard required for success.
Tottenham, despite feeling unlucky with the timing of Glasner’s arrival, must now focus on overcoming Palace’s newfound confidence. With recent disappointing results against Wolves, Tottenham’s priority is to regain momentum in their pursuit of UEFA Champions League qualification.
