Players fought for him tonight, almost like he told them half time if you want me here go out there and prove it for me or I’m gone.

When we play with confidence as we did after scoring, we're another level. A lot of fun to watch. That win was a massive sigh of relief.

Sonny broke his duck, early introduction of Sarr who is arguably up there for best ratings tonight and we genuinely smashed them second half.

We didn’t even start the first half as slow as usual, hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Don’t wanna get ahead of ourselves but it was a brilliant game.

Brilliant half .

I thought we were atrocious first half.

I have been pretty pro-Conte, but even I recognized that we needed a different approach - more aggressive until we had a lead.

So, I was pleased to see how we started the game - very much on the front foot and the aggressor. Yes, we faded in the first half, but then to come out and start the second half attacking, and getting the lead - how much easier it is to defend with the lead.

Certainly NLD will require a bit more caution, but I hope that we are more aggressive going forward, and I hope Levy backs the team with enough players so we can be aggressive and have options from the bench.

We score first and look great. We concede first and look shit. And we conceded first too many times. Once we got our first goal Gil and Doherty looked 10 times faster and stronger, Son was dribbling successfully, Kane never looked younger, Sarr even took a long shot attempt.

First 20 minutes we were good until Palace got on top. But for all their pressure they only troubled Hugo once first half really.
When I say atrocious I meant we were as bad as we have been playing. Pretty toothless

I can't believe the turnaround, he must have laid right into them.

Hopefully that's a turning point although people are getting far too carried away with individuals.

Some absolutely stonking posts in here. Well done lads of little faith. Fucking hell, some of you were desperate for us to lose tonight so you could moan about him! ???

As the 3rd goal went in I’m sure I heard the sounds of levy’s cheque book drawer being locked!?

Think “brilliant” is a bit strong but it was a very good 3pts and good to see a faster start despite the drop off. Back him Levy. Whatever happens it will mean we have higher quality players across the pitch and the bench.

I guess even Conte is learning here, dealing with the pressure to deliver. He needs the confidence as much as the players to perform. I can only hope Levy wakes up tomorrow to give him more time, and money.
