Tottenham Vs Crystal Palace: Match Thread

[haxman]

How a week can change things. It's looking much brighter now.

Harry re-finding his shooting boots in a Spurs shirt is for the best of the team at the moment...

So you keep him on for how long? 1 game 2? 3? 4? If he's not scoring and he's had some chances he really should have put away, it's of no benefit to anyone at all. So maybe take some pressure off the guy and give him a rest, occasionally.

Massive three points. It's crystal clear to me that we need to play Eriksen/Son/Lamela together in a three behind the striker. All three very creative players who can play one touch football and press the ball well.

Good win but we need to improve if we're going to get anything from Arsenal and Citeh.

 

[Shadydan]

3 clean sheets in a row, unbeaten in 5

Fantastic win and how good do we look defensively

 

[maglajz]

Solid win against good team. Loved that we showed some speed in transition and managed to do proper counterattacks. Also in the endgame Crystal Palace the defense looked assured and didn't panic. Good signs all over the pitch.

Also Hugo being Hugo

 

[Mighty Spurs]

Definitely, our best performance, so far, this season. All players played their hearts out. Well deserved victory.

Some very good signs today, not just green shoots either, full on leaves.

Get Eriksen back firing and Kane with confidence and we could be looking at the nucleus of a very good Spurs side.

Apart from a 45 minute aberration against Stoke, the defence is looking mean. Build from the back, like it Poch. Grind out results and the confidence and flowing football will come.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Brilliant performance, some very exciting football, and PACE! Son looked great again, as did Alli. Oh, and to any Lamela haters out there: FUCK. YOU.

 

[ajspurs]

So many good performances today. It wasn't perfect but I found it a pleasure to watch at times and if we keep going we may be on the way to seeing the good football we want to see. Even minus the goal, Son is quality, can't wait to see him playing more with Eriksen. Njie is still to be incorporated into the team too so I'm a bit excited to see how we can develop after watching that.

Incredible save from Lloris too, what a keeper.

 

[TH1239]

He's been an unsung hero this season, but Vertonghen has been outstanding. He's been absolutely phenomenal in our last three league matches, which is why we've conceded zero goals in them.

Defensively we did well. Still concerned about how many times the opposition get on the end of crosses into our box though.

Dier and Alli did really well, amazing to think they kept a decent Premier League team at bay, given their lack of Prem experience.

Our front 4 played well. Although it was refreshing to see Eriksen come on and pass the ball early, unlike the others who just kept hold of it too long and didn't look up enough in the final third.

Good performance, Poch's pressing style was actually visible again.

 

[Sarsipius]

Well deserved. The Spurs train is gaining momentum.

Such a young and talented team. It's only going to get better the more they play together.

Hugo, Dier, Son all MASSIVE and the rest were good too.

 

[slartibartfast]

stop f****** around with it at the back!

Someone disagreed with your post lol. Wtf?
They think we should fk around with it at the back????

 

[Chris12]

Njie looked fucking rapid

 

[tippspur59]

Best performance of the season so far,Alli and Son were excellent and Lamella very good again...coys!

 

[kitchen]

All hail the clean sheet.

Mention to Dier who again I thought was excellent and contributed hugely to the clean sheet. He was the person that slowed down their counter attack 90% of the time.

 

[Goofster]

One of the best games we've played under Pochettino. We made Palace work so hard in all areas today. Proud of my Spurs today.
