The Crystal Palace defeat was very, very rough, and when you have a young team, you have to just take the rough with the smooth.
They are a decent team, but they are going to be up and down with their performances. One week they will be a nine out of 10, the next week they will be a four out of 10.
It wouldn't have surprised me if they didn't beat them when they beat them 2-0, that's the way it is.
Monday night at Palace was not a good way to get beat. It was worrying. I didn't expect it from the other team, but I expected one of those performances from Spurs. They could lose a game, but not like that.

I thought the top four would be done and dusted if Palace had beaten Arsenal. It would have been three points clear and a game in hand.
Spurs have got them at home so they don't have a game in hand. With their game in hand, Spurs can overtake them if they beat them.
On Sunday, you watch Spurs dismantle Newcastle. The worst team in the world is not Newcastle. I watched them a few weeks ago, and they didn't look like scoring that day, but then Spurs put five past them.
Spurs are the favorites for the top four. I don't think many teams will beat Harry Kane when he is playing like he is. I watched him rip Manchester City apart. I saw him rip West Ham apart.
Kane is not going to be in the top four for Spurs. It is as simple as that. They get beaten when he doesn't show up. Spurs are a one-man team and that is not disrespectful.
Without an engine in a car, it isn't working. He is the all-round package, and that is why he is the best centre-forward in the world.
After his knee injury before the Palace game, it's going to be a big blow to the team. He is one of the players that you cannot afford to take out of the team. He sets an example and is an 8/10 every week.
He was a big miss on Monday night, but you know what you will get with him.
When you're out of the team for so long, it's hard to play left-back. You are just training and not playing football. The U23s are not in the premier league.
You feel for the players when you say "right, play in this game". No matter how much training you do, it isn't the same as playing.
I don't think Manchester United are out of the top-four race, but David de Gea had to make a world-class save to get them a draw againstLeicester.
The result at Palace gives them a chance. If the results go their way, then Man Utd will have to play a game against the Gunners.
I don't watch them, but I do think "WOW" when I see Spurs. I don't watch United because I don't see it. They are still in it.

Everyone tells me they have the best players, but I don't. If Harry Kane was playing for United, they would be in the top four. Simple.
It is off the cuff all the way through the club at the moment.
Bruno Fernandes is a top player but you can't give him a contract extension as another manager might not like him. You can either like that kind of player or you can dislike that kind of player.
