*** OMT: Tottenham Hotspur vs Crystal Palace ***

[Jurgen the German]

Didn’t deserve to win today. Showed no intent after we scored except for when we needed a goal at the end.

Lo Celso is fudging brick at set pieces.

If you're happy with the tactics prior today then you have to accept days like today imo - we set up the same v Arsenal who are a much weaker attacking team than Palace are so i don't see why you'd expect anything different?

Exactly, because Arsenal never looked like scoring in 109 years where Palace have looked a threat most of the game.

There's a difference between controlling a game without possession and playing poorly. Today we were poor.

Sorry guys

 

[alekaras]

And now @DaveT316 I hope you understand why a proper OMT is so crucial to our season.

Why do they always have games like this against us?

This was on us really.

 

[Lemonade Money]

Good point at their place, Palace played really well.

 

[Huddy]

Real shame that, played into Palace’s strengths in that second half. Result should have been different.

 

[paxtonwolf]

Great free-kick from Dier tbh. Keep him on that duty from now on.

Why oh why did we wait until the equaliser to start playing like that. Rather annoying. Need a miracle off Fulham now

 

[Bishop]

That's the problem with playing so passively world possession. We invited the pressure and were published for it. I'm

 

[Bedfordspurs]

This was on us really.

I agree
But we have had these games a lot vs palace
Their very turgid games

 

[Pirate55]

FT 1-1. Can't understand why we were so poor for 90% of that second half, That game was there for the taking.

crap second half performance but this level teams do take point off top teams. We've had worst outcomes and performances

Think it will also show opposition teams that at 1-0 down we wont bother to attack and if they bide their time they can get something out of us. It is a psychological thing but all teams whether great or indifferent should go for the second goal.

 

[90291Spur]

Ref has been terrible this half.

We were terrible until after they scored. Ref had nowt to do with it.

You were complaining about the tactics though? It wasn't the tactics to let Palace have more chances than Arsenal or to not control the game defensively - sounds like you're unhappy that we played poorly not that the tactics were wrong which is what your post read like.

Like i said if you accept us playing defensive football where we camp out and protect a lead v brick like Arsenal you can't complain about setting up the same way v Palace.

 

[Whiffler]

Oh well. Could easily have got nothing from that, so a point is something.

We should have played better, and it was the basics that let us down


PS - come on Scotty

 

[Robbo]

Two points lost from that second half performance. We were clueless until the equalizer.
