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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No one to blame but ourselves today. You don't sit on a 1-0 lead .. you just feed them confidence and ultimately get what you deserve.

We created so many chances when we attacked, there was just no reason not to try and kill them off.
I assumed the plan was that Palace would attack and leave space - our ball out wasn’t good enough, tho, as Tanguy had lost his puff in the second half. Disappointing but, like against WH, Jose will learn from this and it won’t happen again.
 
All 2000 of them... fuck me... gawd help us when the vaccine kicks in, and we have to face 25,000+ fans!

Awww, i've missed that feeling the non-entity nobody GK suddenly deciding he's International/World class when we come to town... to be fair, it's been a while!
Important we didn't lose.

We rode it and took a point.

Will help re-acclimatise us to away fans.
 
Crystal Palace did not earn that point at all. During the parts of the game we tried we dominated them, even in the middle when we shut down they barely threatened us, they dominated the ball and got close but nothing really dangerous. They then needed a terrible play from Lloris to get their fluke chance.

They got a point because of how awful we were not because they did a single thing to earn anything.
Mate

you have to give credit to Palace - an inferior team who didn’t let their heads go down, battled for everything and got a deserved equaliser from a set piece - something they rely heavily on.
 
Hard to argue we didn't get what we deserved today.. Invited too much pressure from a mid table team who's major assets is set pieces. We had a few let offs and got away with it till goal.

Response after goal was impressive, couple of wonder saves by keeper. Unfortunately too little too late. Dier missed free header was huge.

We got what we deserved.. we created nothing and let them gain confidence.

Against Woolwich, Man City and the Chavs, we dictated the pace of the game but Palace dictated to us today.
We learned a lesson today and luckily, we have the right manager to help us learn from our mistakes.
 
We never looked for that 2nd goal until they equalised. Totally different from the Woolwich game. Slender 1-0 lead, trying to absorb cross after cross, corners, set plays. Should have gone to kill them off.

Lesson to be learned.
 
Well Palace's 2000 'hardcore' fans managed to unsettle us.... let's see if Fulham's Family Friendly 2000 can instil the fear of God into Liverpool...
it will be interesting viewing!

Come on Fulham... just for a fucking laugh... go on, I dare ya

They were only able to do anything when we stopped. Even then they needed a mistake from us, not a good play by them to get a lucky goal. Then when we turned it back on they were brutal.

No reason to give them credit because they did nothing to deserve it.
 
After Woolwich I said that we need at least one more player who will give us 10 or more goals. It's ok Kane playing deeper but then he is not in the box !
Overall we are doing well but our midfield must score more to give the defence
a chance
Either Dele steps up, or we get Sabitzer. This is an urgent issue, we've just managed to make do as is for this long.
