    Positives from today

    I thought a draw wouldn't have been an unfair result.

    Rafa got his tactics spot on and they were working until he had to make the subs.
    If we play with the same commitment, verve and spirit against Brighton we should get the win.
    Dubravka was excellent yet again.
    yedlin had a superb game.
    Muto looked very useful and we lost an awful lot of momentum when he and Kenedy went off.
    Talking of whom, Kenedy had a very good game too.

    C'mon, add some more.

    No doubt we played some good stuff, great spirit all round. If the ref had seen the handball in the first half we could have romped home. Agree that the substitutions changed the game unfortunately.

    The first half there was only one winning team.

    The moment we had to go into our depth we were screwed.

    If we can play like that against those around us we might be ok.

    Although raw now, in the cold light of day the performance should give them immense confidence if they focus especially on the 1st half.
    We have now gone past the barren spell onwards & upwards.

    Dubrovka and Muto, really.

    Muto looks to have more about him than I thought. He needs minutes. And we need Uncle Fester further up.

    Wanquillo needs to be released in January as does Atsu. I used to like the lad. But he is shocking and didn't help his case today, did he?

    Atsu is absolutely awful. Just why Chelsea sold him. No where near prem standard and his excuse that he was technically injured all last season is shown up to be rubbish as he is even worse this season. The one where we were breaking 4 on 3 and he passed it into nowhere was just dreadful, my 13 year old lad would have done better. He’ll be ok for the Championship next year though.

    The only positive is we are one step closer to relegation .. And an eventual sale
