Tottenham lost London derby against Crystal Palace after pathetic, suffering, slow, sloppy and disinterested performance. Final result was only 1:0 thanks to incredible lack of skill among Crystal Palace players. Level of fight and wish to win this game was equal to zero among Tottenham players. Once more they showed they don't care about club, fans or anything.
Home side was rough, referee allow them to hit our players with elbow in back of head, or with fist in back while they are on the ground after they kicked them there. Dirty ignorant from Crystal Palace targeted the most Dejan Kulusevski. On the other hand after they lose air duel they fall pretending their head is injured and referee stopped Spurs counter attack for no reason. However referee is not main reason for this. It's lack of wish to play football, to fight for ball. Spurs players showed once more they don't know when and where to run, how to pass between each other, how to finish, how to defend. This is not how top 10 team is playing football.
All they made during 90 minutes is this: one post hit by Johnson after crowded 5 meters after corner, one big chance for Maddison deflected into corner by goalkeeper and one long range shot of Maddison in second half which was easily saved by goalkeeper. I don't know how many bad passes those players made today, but it's surely not under 100. Game deciding moment was when suffering Van de Ven lost his ball inside the box, Udogie was like always incapable to block cross and we saw tap in from close range into net. After that real top 6 club would press on opponent hard, players would start to run, to fight to try to turn thing around, but Spurs are not top 6 club and players continued to play easy, slow and sloppy until the end.
Ange made some changes in second half, but nothing changed on the pitch. It's not his fault it's fault of those group of players. It's end of October and Tottenham Hotspur football club has 3 wins on away games in Premier League. They are going on picnics on away games. They have boldness to give some statements after this.
Only positive from this match is fact that suffering poor Mikey Van de Ven didn't get red card after he stupidly brought down opponent like last man in defense in front of penalty area. Suffering referee gave him yellow because opponent was not turned toward goal but toward corner flag. That's the only positive.
Young Mikey Moore couldn't do anything because not a single of his team mates wanted to play football today. Managers change, players change, but habit not to play some games during season remains. Only thing which is connecting that are owners. Question is why different players under different managers don't want to play some games for Tottenham in different epochs ? Maybe it has to do something with serial losing ownership and chairman Daniel Levy ? Maybe that has something to do with some betting house ?
