De Zerbi, speaking to Sky Sports: "Very pleased for the performance, very tough game. You don't know 11 [against 11] would be different game but Crystal Palace are very tough because they defend with a low block, no space and we showed we are a mature team. Maybe we could score more goals with more nastiness, but I am very happy because we created many chances. We need more goals for sure. It's not enough, but we are improving a lot.
"I was very nervous before the game, during the game, after the red card, it's always better playing with one player more. But today, against this team, they played with this behaviour, all behind the line of the ball, aggressive. Very tough game."
On Archie Gray's role in the team: "Archie Gray can play everywhere on the pitch. He's very smart. With the first yellow card I had to make the substitution. He can play midfielder. If we want to compete in the best way we can, we need more than 11 players. I'm sorry for example for Marcos Senesi because he is a top player. Now he is not playing, but if we want to build a top team competing for a high level, we need more than 11 players."
On his wingers: "I would like them to believe more and more in because they are all very good players. I want to enjoy during the week and if you have a talent like Tel, Kudus or Savinho, they need to enjoy with the ball. Me too. If they play well, we have more chance to win the games."
On if Spurs are now looking up the table: "We don't forget the ambitions. We have to look behind what was the situation two weeks ago. In the last two years, two times 17th in the table, many games without a win in front of our fans. We have to stay focused. They are improving, increasing the level of performances. To win games we need players playing at this level.
"I am lucky because I have great guys, a great dressing room, many players with the right experience, many players hungry to win and to give for this club another part of the history. The last part has been not good enough."
