Spurs really have been our bogey team over the past couple of seasons - but we're still favourites to win the title with 12 games to go, which we'd have been happy to accept at the start of the season.
No need to panic just yet.

An if only moment. I think it was a game for our strongest 11 and that should have included Mahrez and Stones.Stones deserves a start thats for sure imo
All it looked like on tv was half the team having an off day, us allowing Kane to do whatever he wanted for 90 minutes and schoolboy defending for all three goalsI must say,, as I don't know what it looked like on TV, we missed having an actual striker today, imo.
not sure lack of decent chances was the problem today

Exactly. I do this every time we have a sickener like this and forget all about footy for 3 days, it really helps, you should try it.A media black out is good for the soul now and then.
Fortunately we're a brilliant team with an amazing manager so I don't have do it very often.

Just like Palace in many ways.
Spurs played a triangle of 3 defenders on both the left and right if their box with a triangle of 3 in front. They outnumbered us on both flanks when we attacked by pushing a centre half out wide to form the triangle when we put the ball out to the flank. This totally relied on us NOT pushing the ball down the centre for a foot race, chipping the ball over the top or running at the heart of their defence. Rodri was quickly challenged whenever he got the ball and his passing was a bit wayward as a result. It worked like a charm.
We didn't help by being very sluggish when attacking and not picking up their runners from deep when they broke.
We really need to mix it up more. The occasional chip over the top for a foot race does work wonders.

Crazy, it doesn't take Einstein to see what we're missing.

I thought spuds game plan worked perfectly today: waited to capitalize on a mistake, broke away and punished us. I've no argument with the win but..fuck me, did they land in no man's zone somewhere in eastern Ukraine? The Russian snipers were picking them off with ease. That is the one side of the English game that I hate. Get it fucking sorted Pigmol!

Measuring "chances" by "shots on target" is ridiculous and we stopped doing that 10 years agoYou are confusing pressure with chances. We had 4 shots on target. Spuds had 5.
