The Eagles were thrashed 4-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Sakho coming under fire for not looking at all fit.

Chris doesn’t think blame can just be with Sakho for the performance.

@zippypooz reckons the defender was nowhere near match fit.
Twitter: I’m surprised Sakho played today, was nowhere near match fit, especially against a team like spurs. Very disappoint…https://t.co/mGC1f1UIU1 (@zippypooz)
George thinks that Palace’s injury problems are the reason Sakho was playing, and neither him or Roy was at fault.

Read Crystal Palace’s verdict
Sakho had to play against Spurs, with injuries really causing issues for Palace.
It was a horrible performance, in truth, but you can’t really fault after only recently coming back from injury.
Sakho will get better, but he will have to play better than he did in North London on Saturday.
