Jan Vertonghen has admitted that the Tottenham fans are 'not wrong to boo us' after another slip up at White Hart Lane last weekend.

Mauricio Pochettino's men have already lost home matches against Stoke City, West Brom, Newcastle United and Liverpool this season, before a goalless draw against Crystal Palace last time out sparked more frustration among supporters.

In truth, Spurs could have lost the game, owing much to another solid performance from goalkeeper Hugo Lloris to avoid another home defeat - in a game which Vertonghen insists they should be winning.

Getty 2/24 Eric Dier: 5 Had a torrid time against Bolasie and Zaha. Doesn’t look comfortable at right-back. Getty 3/24 Federico Fazio: 6 The jury is still out on the Argentina defender, but he was solid enough here. GETTY 4/24 Jan Vertonghen: 6 Criticised by Tim Sherwood in midweek, Vertonghen marshalled the Spurs backline well. GETTY 5/24 Ben Davies: 7 Solid at left-back. In this form, Danny Rose may struggle to get back into the side. GETTY 6/24 Erik Lamela: 5 Ineffective in the first half and was hauled off at the break. GETTY 7/24 Ryan Mason: 6 Nearly headed into own net in first half but did well in midfield and was unlucky to be taken off after 65 minutes. Getty 8/24 Nabil Bentaleb: 6 Tried to get Spurs going in midfield but had few options ahead of him. GETTY 9/24 Harry Kane: 6 By his recent high standards, this was a quiet afternoon for the in-form Spurs forward. Getty 10/24 Christian Eriksen: 6 Hit the side-netting early on and then tested Speroni with an early free-kick, but had a quiet afternoon after that. Getty 11/24 Roberto Soldado: 6 Missed Tottenham’s best chance of the game when he fired wide on the hour. Getty 12/24 Substitutes: Substitutes Nacer Chadli 6 Came on for Lamela at half time but had little impact. Paulinho 6 Ineffective after coming on for Mason in the second half.

GETTY 15/24 Scott Dann: 8 After his error against Aston Villa in midweek, Dann was back to his reliable best. Almost won it for Palace with a first-half header that was saved by Lloris.

Defended well and kept Lamela quiet in the first half. GETTY 18/24 Yannick Bolasie: 8 The best player on the pitch. Caused Tottenham problems all afternoon with his pace and trickery on the flanks. Nearly won it near the end when his shot was saved by Lloris. 19/24 Mile Jedinak: 7 Helped Palace win the midfield battle. They will miss him in January.

“The fans are not wrong to boo us," said the defender after the match. "They want to win and I want to win. I understand their frustration.

“I think we should be winning these games as well," he added. "And we try to. We just have to find a way to beat these teams.

“We need to start winning again. Our home form is not good enough. We tried to get back on track against Everton last week and we did – a very important win, I think – but we tried to play the same way and it didn’t work. We didn’t find a way to break them.”
