Watched yesterdays game with @jonny and @skoota at the Effra, good match only bad ting about it was the result. Eriksen should have done better with his first half chance, ball was behind him, went for power and placement, when placement would have been enough, but we didn't create enough. Kane's goal came from nothing and even though we'd been dominating the possession early on, it was a case of playing passes in our own half.

Stambouli penalty apart was good, driven, energetic but a bit slapdash, dembele should still be further forward, no point in playing tippy tappy stuff with the centre halves, push on and use your skill in the opposition's half.

Palace were worth the win, and though we looked up for it early doors, they wanted the win more, Pardew first home game and all that. Emotion pulled them through, they had the better chances and but for lloris they could easily have been a goal up before half time, and towards the end, as we went lookign for the equalizer, made it a more lopsided scoreline.

Chadli got into some good positions, Townsend needs to be more combative when he loses the ball and chase them down, Rose still feels like a liability in defense switches off too often, and loses his man, I miss Verts runs from the back, he's less of a swashbuckler this season. Fazio's still got room for improvement, but his positioning is good, strong in the air and seems to read the game well.

So in a nutshell, same old spurs, hit the highs with the win over chelsea, slip back with the draw against burnley and then don't do enough against palace and lose. One step forward, two back.
