Bottled it again.
g = window.googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; window.googletag = googletag; googletag.cmd.push(function() { var interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/17085479/redcafe_gam_interstitial', googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL); if (interstitialSlot) { interstitialSlot.addService(googletag.pubads()); } });
I don't care much for the whole 'bottled it' stuff but I don't know how else to describe what just took place.My stance on the word "bottle" is unchanged. It's stupid.
But ffs, they don't do themselves any favors do they?
They're the only side (with City) to set up well against Liverpool at Anfield this season. The Sissoko miss, the Rose miss, and then that....
Anyways, good side in bad result form. They'll be fine after the City game (that's another loss).
Have to say they bottled it again. They're really are perennial bottlers. Can't never rely on them cause they bottle it every time.
They're clearly better than Arsenal and Chelsea, we had a terrible first half of season but i like to think we are better than them if we played properly over a season. But they have bottled this, they were 10+ points clear of us (i believe) and now they're level with us and Arsenal could be above them if they win tomorrow <<< that's bottling it.Still don't think they bottled anything this season. This is just where they belong. They're not so much better than any of us, Arsenal or Chelsea that they shouldn't be struggling to finish ahead of us.
They were like 15 clear of us weren't they?They're clearly better than Arsenal and Chelsea, we had a terrible first half of season but i like to think we are better than them if we played properly over a season.

There's a real possibility for them to be out of top 4 this season now which would be terrible for them with their new stadium and lack of spending.
Are they really much better than Chelsea as a squad? The likes of Azpilicueta, Luiz, Alonso, Cahill, Kante, Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Higuain have each won more major trophies individually than most of the Spurs team combined. That didn't happen by accident. Then you have the likes of Kepa (the world's most expensive goalkeeper), Giroud (starting forward for the World Cup winners) and Hudson-Odoi (much hyped young prospect) knocking around the squad too.They're clearly better than Arsenal and Chelsea, we had a terrible first half of season but i like to think we are better than them if we played properly over a season.

This, their bench today contained some spectacular dross apart from Son. Some of them will be starting in 4 months when their best players leave.I fundamentally think a lot of people overrate this Spurs team because they have a strong looking first 11 when really their squad is filled with a lot of dross. Plus even some of their supposedly strong starters (like Lloris, for example) are better players on paper than they often are in reality.
The one that stood out to me was their loss to Wolves a few months ago. Their bench that day consisted of Rose, N'Koudou, Walker-Peters, Foyth, Gazzaniga, Moura and Skipp. People blamed their loss on them being "bottlers" when it seemed pretty clear to me that their main problem was an overeliance on a few players who were expected to carry a rather average squad.This, their bench today contained some spectacular dross apart from Son.

If Palace can spoil their first game in the world's best stadium, it would have been a great week !
Even when we play well we lose. We were great in the first half against Southampton too, still couldn't put the game to bed.Frustrating result as I thought we played well.
