During Pochs time we'd be amazing most of the season. But it was moments like these when we'd have the chance to pull away from our rivals or catch up to a rival after they lost that we would then go on to miss that opportunity. Lets hope we make it count this time and go 5 points ahead of the chavs.

Fair points.
And we don't need to rest players with Liverpool playing after us.
A win puts a bit of pressure on them against Fulham as well.
You know Woy is going to set out a team to frustrate us. He's got some Warhammer plan to hit us on the counter with orks! Can never underestimate Palace.
I love that we are in a position to take advantage of the results around us this weekend but absolutely hate the feeling leading up to the game. We have very seldom taken advantage of results around us. I hope Jose has done his magic with our players and our players have the believe and mentality to go on and take the opportunity!!!
COYS!!!
COYS!!!
Forget Chelsea for a minute.
Your post is spot on and the issue is mentality.
We have largely dispelled the theory but tomorrow is another test.
I'm confident we'll do a job on them, Palace haven't even been defensively sound this year. They've barely kept a clean sheet.
it’s a Tottenham trait we have to get rid of. I have every bit of confidence Mourinho is slowly building us into serial winners. It’s games like tomorrow we have to win, then get a draw at Anfield would be a superb return. Can’t expect to win every game.
It'll be interesting to see how long we can keep this excellent defensive run going: 4 league matches in a row keeping clean sheets (with Man City, Chelsea, and Woolwich included of course).
If you remove the mad Lask 3-3 we've also kept two more clean sheets in the Europa League in between those games.
2-0 masterclass incoming.
God, I'd take that in a heartbeat.
Real test of the apparent 'we only think about the next game' mentality that José and the players have repeated as a mantra.
Yes - it's Liverpool at Anfield midweek, but that game has to be firmly out of their minds and beating Palace is paramount.
One step at a time fella... Winning something is the first frontier.

Then you are unduly confident.
Aurier unsure.
I agree with you about Palace, but we have also have 7 games in the next 18 days, including two six pointers this week. We’re not going to be able to just trot out the same team every game. A successful season relies on a successful squad, not just an 11.
Since Everton, no-one has outplayed us. But we have had to grind it out against some of the lesser teams. For these games, where teams sit deep, I like Doherty. He gives us width and combines with the forwards better than Aurier. We're solid enough defensively, we can keep Aurier fresh for Liverpool.
think Jose said he's okay for tomo if I recall.
