SNSUN Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Good point. Had to battle hard in the second half but looked good in the first half. Forster with some important saves in that second period but I'd still give Mané MOTM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 (edited) Unbeaten against the league champions elect this season. 50 points in mid-March. Boom! I started putting money on a Chelsea win during the second half, so I'll take my fair share of the plaudits.

Lighthouse Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Aged 30 years watching that but an excellent point. The second half is a different game if Dean hadn't bottled sending off Matic.

Monk Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Great point, we looked fantastic in the first half, really thought if we could carry that tempo up we would win. Still gutted Tadic didnt let fire when in the box (great feet by the way). Fraser and the back four, amazing.

angelman Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Had to go for a walk on 86 minutes. Just couldn't do it any more. FF made some top saves, but his positioning wasn't always great. Tadic needs some to be more "selfish". And we are still not converting our chances. But all in all, you can't complain about a point.

pap Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I lost 20 notes on this (bet on a Saints win), but who couldn't be proud of that performance? Nice one boys. I believe we have what is called a platform, and hopefully, a galvanising experience that'll set us right for the rest of the season. Be honest. We'd all have taken a point from this.

Halo Stickman Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 (edited) Very happy with that. Whole defence excellent. Mane, Wanyama and Morgan very good.

Saint_clark Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Bizarre to be disappointed with a point away to Chelsea, but with the chances Tadic had at 1-1 (especially the one in the second half where he worked his way through the defence and decided to pass).

Concerned with JWP and F.Djuricic when they came on (benefit of the doubt as that wasnt the easiest of games to come into.) If only Tadic had taken the shot after clearing space for himself. Someone like Reed would have been the right sub (had he been in the squad) rather than JWP and Djuricic, who both looked shaky. Great games Morgan, FF and Mane - special mentions for Toby, Vic and Clyney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secret Site Agent Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Chelski should have had at least one sent off. But good result, thought we would lose, so mucho glado with this.

SaintLiam Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I reckon Long should start the rest of the season. He's hardly been given any chance and we look so threatening with pacey forwards. Tadic needs to shoot more instead of being so selfless, but he's been looking a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabrone Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 1 point more than I ever expected. Once again the meanest defence in the prem was immense. Aside from Chelsea no other team is within 4 goals of our tally conceded, remarkable achievement. Could we still pull this one around, regain our mojo and make a tilt at top 4?

hans gruber Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 Haha...a drier night for the bed wetters awaits.. They'll be gutted there's no obvious candidate to be slagged off after that ! Fraser quality today ! Agree he was. Be awesome if he was lighter on his feet, he would be up with best then but made some splendid saves. Was a cracker match but definitely deserved a point. That first half was superb. In prior years we could only ever dream about a performance and a result like that versus the champions elect. Very proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 The first half was terrific, but we didn't take advantage when they were on the ropes - and boy they were for big periods in the 1st half. But the same can be reversed in the 2nd half, we were on the ropes and they couldn't take advantage. It was an even game in that sense, we had the first half, they had the 2nd. Morgan MOTM, he's a one man shield. Most defenders dream of having him in front of them!! (and Vic, what a combo). Forster, massive saves. huge. Great shot stopper. What I loved about the first half more than anything was our 'zip', we were faster, sharper and snappier in the final third and looked a hell of a lot more fluid. Whether that's due to Pelle not being in the side or just a bit of a rest, only time will tell - but I think Long did enough to keep his place in that setup. On the next game (Man Utd) I'll take a draw. Best result in my opinion, get both sides dropping points. Man Utd have hell fixtures coming up, so they will drop points in the coming weeks.

St.Jeweller Posted 15 March, 2015 Share Posted 15 March, 2015 I'm sure Hoddle said Chelsea would win this just before kick off, and at last I've got a correct result in the prediction league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
