Thanks Uncle Scott. I’ll play some Spandau tonight and get the ellnett out.
Peripheral vision - nice attention grabbing buzz words.OK, so people need to develop some peripheral vision.
It's a disaster! Spurs drew away to a pretty good mid-table side! The title is gone! Top 4 is but a dream!
Out of the notional "top six this weekend", not one of them won.
The Manchester derby was a draw.
Chelsea lost.
Arsenal lost.
Liverpool drew.
We drew.
You don't win all your games. Palace are a much more balanced team than last season and an away point at Palace is now a reasonable result in context.
No goals in Manchester. Arsenal lost at home to Burnley, FFS. Liverpool relied upon a penalty to draw at a side well below Palace in the table. Chelsea lost at Everton.
So who did best? Us.
NO! Just don't give away a lead stupidly by 65% performance for 80% of the match.What Spurs Community expects

I beg to differ as at one point we had 27 points but ended with 25. So we may not have lost the match but we did lose 2 points.We didn't lose though
You've missed the point entirely. We had 4 chances that would have gone in on another day. We can't stop a keeper from having a blinder, and that's what happened tonight. End of story. We could have had 2 in the final 10 minutes alone. What more do you want? These aren't robots that can maintain a high tempo 3 games in a week. It's simply not doable.Well, not by seizing attempts at 1-0 and sitting still while your players grow restless soaking pressure.
But we won, that's the pointSecondly, we've never really comfortably won away at Palace...
You do not seem not have grasped what I was trying to say, so lets just leave it at that.Are we still top? Are we still unbeaten since the first game? Do you seriously EXPECT to win all our games? No wonder Spurs fans are so difficult to please. The sistine chapel ceiling has got nothing on the ceiling the fans set for this team. Ridiculous.
Exactly!I believe in killing teams off and many Premier League teams are dangerous. Palace are in that group with the likes of Zaha and Eze they can produce goals from nothing. I was at the home game against them in September 2019 and we won 4-0. We killed them off in the first 25 minutes with relentless attacking football and then were able to sit back in the second half. We have the players to play more expansively yet defend when we have to but it ain’t going to happen now except by accident.
No, you are missing the point. Don't energy save over long period at 1-0, and in addition when you've already played out an identical match scenario earlier in the season. They clearly had enough to give to swith-on the attack before the equaliser came.You've missed the point entirely. We had 4 chances that would have gone in on another day.

Exactly!
They didn't "energy-save". They got outplayed by a motivated and well-coached Palace team.No, you are missing the point.

Not a member of "the notional top six", which is what I wrote. That is widely agreed to consist of Liverpool, us, both Manchester clubs, Chelsea and Arsenal.Leicester.
