Match Crystal Palace v. Tottenham Hotspur - Sunday, December 13, 2:15 PM GMT

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Very similar to our last visit there in last season´s final round. We scored first, but then we couldn´t handle their pressure - conceded from a set piece as well. At that stage, I could understand. If we want to be champions, it´s not acceptable.

Two points terribly lost.

was that a masterclass?

becaused, correct me if I'm wrong, we spent the first half dominating possession, and scored (go out and beat them)

In the second half we stopped running the show and went into "masterclass" mode (wait for them to die of boredom) until we conceded

and then we switched back to lets make them look shit mode (go out and beat them) - but left it too late to go back to masterclass (wait for them to die of boredom)mode.

Is that right?

No what’s right is people don’t like parking the bus, and when we don’t and get over run, they cry anyway
 
These first games back with fans are really difficult for the opposing team. So much energy in the ground.

Goalkeeping was the difference today. On another day this one ends 0-3 for us.

Would have been nice to win but we'll be at most 2 points behind Liverpool heading to Anfield on Wednesday.

Yes Mick. You watched the game like the rest of us. That is clear
 
Longtime lurker, and first time poster. This shit was so frustrating and the reason we are never taken seriously. Such negative football until the equalizer. Ridiculous
 
I'd agree that most of the 2nd half was poor but it's still really fine margins.

On another day one or two of the chances we have at the end go in and the atmosphere here is completely different.

Yeah but isn't that more concerning? That we offered next to nothing until we conceded, then they realised they needed another goal? Why can't we just play football, instead of relying on a counter?

Counter attacking is football. There’s nothing wrong with it, Leicester and Liverpool have done it to great success.

We just didn’t play well in the second half. Tanguy disappeared and Reguilon seemed to give every ball away. We couldn’t get Kane on the ball at all because were were just shanking the ball forward. I don’t believe that is what Mourinho wants.

And I don't believe Mourinho said to our players to just give the ball to Palace, that are on them, we lack a lot of creativity and our players doesn't know what to do with the ball when we have it.
