The difference between Palace and Pool is all on Jose. He got them all wrong vs Palace and Spurs deserved no more than a point. Tonight though Masterclass by Jose and Spurs really really unlucky not at the very least leave w/ a point.

We had two great chances tbf. But let's be honest, they were in a lot of dangerous areas and could have had a penalty as well.
We didn't play poorly but aside from a 10 minute window, they controlled the game imo.
Lastly, I dumped the L on Aurier. I re-watched the play leading up to the corner kick and his hand was forced to kick the ball out over the end-line . Apologies serge.
They hit the post too since you people keep barking about Bergwijn’s clear cut chance.
So that 20 mins after half-time was an illusion then? We could have beaten them tonight which few teams will even come close to this season at Anfield
But based on the reaction, you'd assume the opposite happened. To me, we dropped two points at Palace. Tonight, we dropped one as I think a draw was a fair result.
Masterclass in what way?
Jose got it wrong on many levels today - but he was nearly bailed out.
Yeah, I'm ultimately way more annoyed by Palace than here. There are a lot of midtable sides like Palace who we really need to show we can do better against, there are very few like Liverpool at Anfield. It always sucks to lose in the last minute, but I imagine a lot of the clubs around us will be dropping silly points to bottom-14 sides and if we want to get anywhere, we need to edge ahead of them in that table. Some sort of attacking threat outside of Son and Kane, better set piece defending, learning to be less sloppy on the ball. January reinforcements would be very welcome, maybe this helps Mourinho prove to Levy we are not so far off.
The most important stat is the scoreline, however.....
Agree - the set piece goal was their best chance by far. Liverpool created a bunch of low quality chances. I don't think Jose will be displeased with our final third defending.
We are absolutely screwed if Son gets injured or if South Korea decides to change their minds and call him back for military service. There is no one that can do what he does on this team and I'm afraid we'd struggle to score any goals.
Salad had one which started from Kane’s mistake. And Mane hit the side net around 75-80 minute if I recall correctly.
We looked dangerous in the second half and if I was a Liverpool fan I would have been worried we'd nick it.
The tactics were genius. We were never going to be able to bring it to Liverpool at theirs. No one has in 3 years. Had the bergwin or Kane header gone in we'd all be here celebrating tonight. Unfortunately sometimes this is just the way it goes.

Agree, and so am I in a way, but Palace was a much worse performance. We've played well against the big sides. It's the rest of the table where we seem to have problems.
Don't be daft. Look who they had at centre half.
Fabinio was taken from his defensive midfield role and put in defence which greatly weakened their centre midfield. So that's a big hole at centre half and also in front of them
No Jota who was literally scoring every game before injury.
It was a great chance to go there and win
Bale would have slotted home that Bergwijn chance.
Good performance by our Spurs today, just a bad result in the end.
