        Well we won, so another 3 pts in the bag, but it was generally a pretty poor performance, the 1st half was poor, our passing was pathetic and we were very lucky not to go in 2 down, the 2nd half was marginally better, obviously TS gave them a rocket at half time, because we started to play with some purpose, and once we scored we started to dominate, and as they say "we played badly and still won" so I guess we should be thankful for small mercies. Although I have to say I wasn't too impressed!!!!!

3 points in the bag, puts us just 6 from the top!  Hoped for a stronger display and a few more goals but I wont complain, max points from the match.

Puncheon's Penalty is one of worst I've seen. 

He probably has a hangover from hell today.

Interesting statistic after the palace game if the league table was based on the 5 games since Sherwood took charge we would be top with with 13 points and +7 GD the same as Chelsea for the same period but we have scored 11 and they have scored 8 goals.

Not a bad start for TS so long may it continue!

Agreed Mr Finch the performance was poor but I think the general tactical ideas are sound and TS seems to be able to get a response from the players even though we were poor in the second half we did dominate large periods of it.
We really are missing Vertonghan to play alongside Dawson and Paulinho in the middle of the pitch just to give us a bit of protection added to this Rose is not good enough for LB and for whatever reason Walker has been pants so far this season.
Soldado needs to score even if it comes off his backside just to give him some confidence and when Townsend is fit things should be alot better because we wiill have two out balls one on either wing, all in all we are 4th but maybe not playing as well as we could be and TS is unbeaten in the EPL.... and things can only get better.
I was unsure about TS but he's growing on me he seems to have a confidence and 'attitude' that the players respond too and the more games he plays the greater his experience and knowledge will get and hopefully the better our results and performances will be !!!!

The first half of this match Spurs were terrible, just bloody terrible. It is the worst I’ve seen them this season. The second half was slightly better… but on this performance they are not good enough to be in the top 4. The next two games will be a game changer. Both Swansea and City are much stronger than Palace. Spurs need to beat Swansea and beat or draw against City. If not then we can kiss 4th spot good bye. The top three spots are taken; Ars*nal, Chelsea with, I think, City winning it. Four clubs will be chasing the next spot; Everton, Liverpool, United and probably us. God help us!

[spursjoolz]

Not totally right imo. I foresee Ars*nal losing few soon!
