Last night after Crystal Palace lost to a challenging Tottenham Hotspur side, Cheikhou Kouyate issued a call for focus as the Eagles make the tight turnaround in preparing to face Newcastle United on Saturday.
Barely two-and-a-half days separate kick-offs between last night's clash with Spurs and Saturday's test against the Magpies, and so the Senegalese midfielder was insistent that his side's main priority now is to turn attention to their forthcoming fixture and prepare themselves as rapidly as possible.
But it can't be said that last night's game didn't showcase a determined defensive performance for Palace, and Kouyate was keen to praise the Eagles' organisation also.
