With about 8 minutes to go, you could see Kane really upping the ante for us, taking throw ins rather than wait, cajoling our players out of complacency. He's priceless. With some of the misses and miscues, it never looked like we'd catch a break in that game.
We're in a run of 3-4 games now where rivals play each other and we can take advantage. That three points was massive. Next week it's City vs Chelsea, the week after it's United and Liverpool, the following week United & Chelsea don't play. In a run against Palace, Huddersfield, Bournemouth & Newcastle we have an opportunity to gain on rivals each week. Let's hope the next three matches are a bit less nervy with a bit more luck

Perhaps, you may wish to consider that they didn't allow us to play well. Our final passes did let us down and that is needed when trying to break down these teams.

I think it was the amount of unforced errors that made this different from other games against bus parkers, that wasn't down to palace.
It was a very sloppy performance irrespective of how the opposition set up IMO.

Putting in an excellent performance against one of the best teams in Europe probably didn’t harm his claim...

He didn't even appeal for it. Obviously he should have just booted Hennessey in the face but then it would be "showing his nasty side". He literally can't win

Bean pole? He looked like a 6ft3 powerful runner to me.

Lost count of the times Davies and Aurier get in good positions only to screw up the final ball. Hodgson got his tactics spot on by allowing us space out wide and blocking the middle.
We need a paid of full backs that can deliver a ball. Trippier is the nearest thing we have but lacks pace.
Sessengon would be ideal.

Possession doesnt win matches, goals do. I have seen us concede much less possession and play and win much better. A very simplistic view to voice.

Really disappointed with Aurier. Hoped he’d bring pace + a final ball. If he had that final ball the brain farts would be easier to take. So far his crossing has been rubbish and way too many brain farts. He needs to sort his shit out.

Bit harsh on Davies. He's played some quality balls in this season.
5 assists in 22 prem appearances, and of course chances created to factor in on top.
Lads stepped in and is doing all that is asked of him. Off form today, maybe. But on the whole it's a big fat...good on yer son from me.

The comment was that we'd put in a shite performance. That level of possession is not indicative of a shite performance, win or otherwise.
