2 pointsSo despite playing poorly for 6 or 7 games we are 1 point behind Saudi Sportswashing Machine who I read "are Premiership challengers"?
But the right sentiment

The difference between us and Poocastle is that we have been on the slide for the past 8-ish league games and they have been on a charge.#narrative

Good take thisMy view
- Gil and Sarr added to the team, both need regular game time
- Kudos to Hugo for turning up, probably 2 key moments (4 good saves) that kept the pressure off
- As expected, we were a little shaky in first 45, but once we got 2, looked a lot better
- Really important for Son to get a goal, his best moments were when he actually got to run at Palace (need to get more of that)
- Great to be 4 up and able to rotate a little
- Skipp was rusty
- The gap between Perisic and Sess is still too big
On our overall play
- We can still be quite passive for parts of game
- For some reason our defense looked ok from out wide but there seemed moments where Palace found lots of space strait down the middle
Team needed a reaction, they gave one, well done.
Good result week-end, get the confidence up, get Bentancur and Kulu back with a week prep and test ourselves.
If City draw with Chelsea in the fa cup i think the replay will be the same week as our game with city and it will be postponed iirc.Shame we have City twice as we could do with them.closing the gap on the Goons

Are there replays in the 3rd round?
Replays will be mandatory in all rounds of the qualifying competition and the competition proper from the first round proper up to and including the fourth round proper.
Great stuff, a minor miracle from Antonio to mastermind that second half given the personnel missing and the clear limitations in the squad.
Very animated as the goals went in and at full time for a so called ‘broken man’
Yep that’s correctIf City draw with Chelsea in the fa cup i think the replay will be the same week as our game with city and it will be postponed iirc.
8 assists nowBeen missed in the kane and gil show but another good performance from perisic.
Quietly effective and keeps us going.
Michael Oliver is 10 times better than any of the other refs in the PL. You hardly notice him in games, which is a very good sign.Definitely credit to Oliver.
There was a tackle early on around the 5th minute by a Spurs player, he let it go and I thought to myself, that would have been penalised by some of the refs we have had recently. It made a refreshing change
And that despite Son's woeful run of form and regular spells out with injuries for Richarlison and Kulu.3rd highest scorers in the league, only 3 less than Arsenal, bizarre
This was the first one from open play in the league. He has great set piece quality but a player of his stature should be producing more assists and goals from open play - still yet to score for us…..8 assists now
Interesting though that last night's 4-0 win probably hinged on a terrible decision from Ayew to shoot in the first half instead of making a 5 yard pass to Olise in acres of space who would've been 90% likely to make the game 1-0 to Palace. Games really can be altered on small moments, for example I think we would've found a way to win that game against Villa at the weekend had Lloris not spilt that tame shot.My view
