Yes. Confidence is destroyed. They are running freely through us as if there is noone there. Could be a heavy one if they get another soon.

Unfortunately we usually play slow and lethargic football in the second half. And offer very little threat on the opposition goal. Couldn't even break down 9 man Newcastle.

It does feel like a fix. But I can't see how. Too big a scale!

Crazy game. Yet again two decisions against us to knock the confidence. Fortunately, there was no ambiguity with Romeu's amazing tackle. Just an amazing piece of play. Or he'd be off.

The decisions against us are starting to get ridiculous. We can't score a goal. Can't get a pen. Have everything given against us. No wonder the players are frustrated.

yep. Ref was too obsessed about the leg. Doesn't see the hand on the chest.

Trouble with that VAR decision is - the players heads may drop as YET AGAIN we've been denied by VAR. They need to keep their heads up after this.

Never going to give that one.

Biased commentary anyone? Hah, who is the co-commentator? Must be ex-Leeds surely.

Adams has been a bit off-pace so far. Not involved.

Can't see that. Game is being played at 100mph. Mistakes abound. Somethings got to give eventually.

Ah can't believe we got a point. It was attack after attack from Chelsea but we can take heart. Really impressed with Salisu, Djenepo and thought Tella looks to have really improved too.

All those terrible tackles flying in and he books Mccarthy for time wasting. Comical.

88 mins I'll go for. From this corner.

Should be a yellow. Ref awful again today.

It was fun whilst it lasted.

Kante is immense today. Such a good player.

Surely it's time to ditch VAR? The review process is so subjective it's probably the same percentage of right/wrong calls as the ref just calling it on the pitch in real time. Without the delay.

Suspect they'll be rolling out that stat later about points dropped from winning positions.

Classic Saints goal to concede. But us scoring for a change.

Good finisher that Minamino. 1 nil!

Whew, risky passing it around at the back and inviting pressure. Romeu and JWP being turned a bit too easily at the moment. Showing up our lack of pace in the middle.

Doesn't seem to be anyone playing RB/RWB

Not quite the spark we hoped for. But he probably isn't match sharp yet. Worth persisting with for now.

Yep, they got in behind Romeu and JWP. We have no answer to players running at us with pace really.
