LGTL Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Good point to stop the rot, but equally Chelsea didn’t really create anything for all their possession. Shame Ings had a brain freeze. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Great result in the circumstances. Possibly our most important point of the season psychologically. Up to 30 points.

CB Fry Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Pleased with the point but disappointing to realise we only got that great result because of industrial scale match fixing.

The Cat Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Very good point. Really could have won if it wasn't for Ings brainfart. Defended very well, Salisu impressive. Midfield worked hard.

Chez Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 we were fortunate to be leading considering how shit we were first half, so don't see it as dropping two points. Fought hard in the second half and made life harder for them. Didn't do much going forward, but the balance between attack and defence hasn't been right so we had to be more reserved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stknowle Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Take that all day long. Djenepo became a MAN today. Salisu, Vest good. Also thought Redmond had his best game this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Nice to see us grow into a game for a change, we seemed to maybe be a bit less 'up and at them' then usual in the first half, maybe intentional to make sure we don't fade in the second? Djenepo was fantastic, a joy to watch today. Salisu also. A well worked point in uncharacteristic fashion for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 Credit where it’s due, we dug in and defended pretty well. We didn’t play well and I think if Chelsea were in top form they would have beaten us today. All in I’d say a draw is a fair result. Salisu looks a proper player and offers us more solidity in that back 4 (Jan should be looking over his shoulder) another 2 points dropped but something to build on today. the most obvious penalty you’ll ever see and McCarthy always just seems to dive down the middle... on to Leeds where we’ll have many more opportunities to score.

suewhistle Posted 20 February, 2021 Share Posted 20 February, 2021 That was a hard watch, and not just the dodgy stream.. After they'd equalised I steeled myself for Chelsea getting a winner so pleased with the one. Salisu occasionally looks a bit casual but he's going to be an asset. Djenepo my MoM, both for effort and for results. Good goal from us, lovely through ball by Redmond and excellent finish, although some of Minamino's passing didn't look up to scratch. As somebody else commented, off 29 points at last.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see what Ralph does once all are fit again as Bednarek has always been his go to centre back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
