kmk108 1,186 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 A draw against a top 4 team while Arsenal and Spurs drop points against lower teams. We had enough chances to win it, but overall, it was a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStorm1003 539 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was ok with a draw at the start, but now it feels like we dropped 2 points with that pen. It's damn good our rivals did not take advantage of this. Need to get reinforcements. Alonso and Moses were awful today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhForAGreavsie 6,075 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Really pleased with this team. The flaws are clear for all to see but they did what they do and grabbed a result. Squad improvements are desperately needed but I question whether we can get it done in the market come summer. That's for another thread however.

Pseudo 92 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 What was Conte thinking letting Costa take that penalty? Did he not see him at Atleti? He's average from the spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irakozium257 350 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I really hope Willian never starts again over Pedro. Pedro did so much more. The same with Fabregas, he deserves to be a starter. They were so refreshing and a goal was in the air with them playing. I'm so gutted cause this feels like a f*cking loss. Thank heavens Arsenal lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both dropped points while we drew a top 4 team away from home. It's honestly a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player who has some decent link up play. A player with some creativity. A player with pace beyond the norm. Something to give our striker an edge, other than, he's a lazy brute with a powerful shot. We may as well have Berbatov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samzilla 517 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 ah well, time to look ahead to arsenal. let's win that one! after that, we're done with top six teams for over 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Fuck it feels like a defeat. At least the North London bottlers did not take advantage of this game and we actually increased our lead at the top by one point. Kante motm by a country mile.

It is indeed a good day, but it's a bit of a sour moment when you were so close to it being an even better day. We are on course to the title, so everything is fine.

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Moses needs to be the first team player dropped next season. Upgrade needed pronto!! Such a retard, his lack of intelligence is more frustrating than the player Kalou! And be turned of defensively again and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 My head says its a good result, specially after Spurs and Arsenal results. My heart says we dropped 2 points, considering how Liverpool scored after a silly mistake from Moses and after Costa missed that penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabHazard 655 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hazard has been shit for quite a while..once again played like crap..glad that conte is substituting him...Costa should not be our penalty taker....if conte made subs earlier we would have won the game..pedro was superb as a sub and cesc was also excellent...we created so many chances in final 15 minutes..should have scored goal from atleast one of them Decent performance by the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmicway 1,333 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I was expecting Costa to start taking pens towards the end of the season -if any- to become top scorer but not this one. Apart from everything else when was his last one ? Our last was against Brentford - Iva. Tibot should have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank heavens Arsenal lost. One thing to remember is both came on after Liverpool were more fatigued. I can't say how they would do if they would have started, but Willian looked good at the beginning of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,918 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Disappointing not to win it with the pen but very good point at what is probably the toughest away game of the season. HOW MANY TIMES does Cesc have to come on and completely change the game for the better before he earns a PL start?! Matic and Kante together simply cannot offer what he does. Also, Moses was again our Achilles heel defensively. At fault for the goal in the same way he was against Spuds. Alonso is also very poor against the better sides. We NEED to have different options in the wingback positions next season. Moses and Alonso get exposed against these top teams. Hazard is starting to concern me a bit. Started the season so amazingly but has disappeared lately. Has the odd great game but just looks off the pace completely. Worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
