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

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So not getting into that situation for 16 games means we didn’t learn?

Killing off games with 38 goals in 16 games mean we didn’t learn a thing?
Because today the keeper fucked up?

Blimey. Really need it explaining don't you. Defending 2 goal leads is fine. We can sit on those even if goals come in the first half. Even games where the other team equalise and we go back in front like Brighton. But today it was 1-0 for a long time. We sat on it and it cost us.. Against Newcastle it was also 1-0 for a long time. We've had a lot of games and worked hard so it was always going to concede eventually in this game.

TO DEFEND TWO GOALS YOU HAVE TI SCORE TWO GOALS.
SCORING 38 GOALS IN 16 GAMES SUGGESTS WE ADDRESSED A PROBLEM
 
When Rachel Riley is calling us out, you know we're in trouble...

It's the old 99 out of 100 story: a teacher writes 100 sums on the board, but (deliberately) writes one incorrect answer... the students howl at the stupidity of the teacher for getting one wrong... whilst failing to notice that 99 were correct...
that's the problem... we're so quick (s a nation) to chastise and ridicule one mistake, whilst ignoring everything else that is right!
If Rachel Riley was bouncing up and down on my old chap she could call me a bottle job, spursey or gooner as many times as she wanted. :tobyarm:
 
I am sick of people gunning for Sissoko or Lucas or Bergy.

Don't you realise that they are doing the job asked of them !

Main reason we lost today was because Rodon didn't cone on and head away that cross. Also we missed his pointing that tells everyone else what to do!

Plenty of our players in the box to get that away. Hugo could even come out and punch that. Aurier should not be going into his man that's going away from goal. Just a silly free kick to give away. When we already looked battered. Maybe the Dele sub or a defensive one had to happen earlier.
 
Thanks for the kisses Don Giovanni Don Giovanni you insipid fucking hypocrite!

Blow me another one you cunt. 💋💋💋

You don’t get more points for losing though
it's one thing to lose a game outright cos you didn't play well, the opponent just really turned it up several levels. Another to needlessly invite pressure with a flimsy lead, and then show that actually you can play, you didn't have to sit back.
 
No he didn't he gave the ball away on simple plays like he always does. Didn't stop anyone on defense either.
Of course he did. Him and hojbjerg did that for ages. Lots of games and lots of hard work they can't keep going non stop. We didn't really have anyone to come on for either of them so had to go more attacking with Dele earlier then the equaliser.

But at the end of the season, our 1pt is more than their 0pt.

The table doesn’t give a fuck.

An off day doesn’t include shipping 7 to Villa.
They were exposed by their one tactic flaw. Just like today.
 
We need a 3rd for back-up / re-fresh sub purposes.

If we want to toughen up to see out a game the only option we have is an extra CB which just equals backs to the wall.
Exactly. GLC and Ndombele can not play that role and Dier might have been able to (albeit worse since he lacks the agility/speed imo) and we definitely need another capable CM. I guess Mourinho counted on Winks to be one but he seems out of favour now.

Lo Celso is a much better option out there then Sissoko, better player defensively and obviously offers so much more going forward, but so would you or I.
 
Dunno why some people are blaming the result on this alleged world class performance by Palace's keeper. In most matches, you don't get a goalkeeping error on the scale of Kane's goal. If their keeper had really had a world class game, Spurs would've lost all three points.
That Dier save was either luck or pure class. On another day, we would have scored there. Wasn't our day.
