Roy Hodgson is confident Crystal Palace’s frontline will soon be firing on all cylinders again as they prepare to tackle Tottenham.
The Eagles remain without injured Belgium forward Christian Benteke, while Wilfried Zaha, Alexander Sorloth and Jordan Ayew have all struggled for goals in recent Premier League matches.
Hodgson, though, sees no reason not to be positive, with his side having battled back to draw 2-2 against Arsenal before another encouraging display despite eventually losing 3-1 at Chelsea.
“We have Benteke injured, but he’ll soon be back. We have Sorloth, we have Ayew, we have Wilf, and we have Andros Townsend so we have forwards at the club,” Hodgson said at a press conference reported by the club.
“I can’t in any way criticise or complain about what the players are trying to do either in training or in matches.
“I’m sure that they (goals) will come when the ball goes in for us – but, as I say, we’ve scored three in the last two games against Arsenal and Chelsea away.”
