Match Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace - Sat. 2nd March 3pm

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Good result in the end.

Our play is so good when the ball is passed around quicker as we saw in the 2nd half. The first half was frustrating but I think alot of that comes down to the opposition and their tactics. No matter what people say, when you have 10 players pretty much camped in their own half it's not gonna be easy and at times it's hard work. The 2nd half just goes to show you have to trust the plan because eventually teams will tire hence why we do seem to score alot of goals in the 2nd half.

Credit to Werner and Johnson, I thought they played well. Werner despite his miss one on one looked like he was gonna cause problems for Palace all game and he did and Johnson always has an impact when starting on more recently off the bench.

I thought we defended the counter attack better today, wasn't perfect but we didn't seem quite as gung ho.

Palace goal was a great free kick but they never really deserved to be 1 up.

Nice 3 points, onwards and upwards. COYS!

Also, Micky van de Ven, what a player!!!
 
Am I the only one who liked how Palace played today? It helped I suppose that I was was watching with a CP fan but I appreciated their football.
It's alright Bill. We know he's holding you hostage and forcing you to type this shit. I've phoned the Madrid Policios and they're on their way. Stay strong mate - we'll get you out of there in one piece.
 
Games like today show why we need a strong bench, sometimes you simply have to grind them down. Liverpool use their bench to get over the line with the likes of Darwin Nunez and so do others. Johnson good when he came on.

Johnson should start.

Kulu for me did nothing and Bentancur almost cost us the game. He gave the ball away outside their are then fouled their player outside our box for their goal.

He's not up to speed and was wasteful today.
 
No we didn't. We only had it easier after they gift-wrapped us our first, then second & third by switching off defensively. Til then we never looked like scoring.

7 disagrees but yeah .. I think you're right?

We did start to play a bit better at 0-1 but it all felt very passive. Then Joachim Andersen basically ran his way in to trouble and the first goal was just ludicrous .. I bet the Palace fans are raging at him for it, so stupid.

At 1-1 they fell apart and we did play well. But again - if that was a Wolves again it feels like another loss because they don't throw away control like that.

We capitalised well after 1-1 though. Intensity was there.

We we're camping in there half the whole game their free kick was against the run of play and Vicario in my opinion should have possibly done better as the wall seemed too far to one side and wasn't exactly top bins if I remember correctly.

Only one team was going to win today. We just didn't have enough chances in the first half which in turn made it a bit more desperate that it needed to be
