The commentary has been talking about how **** we are defsnively for almost 45mins... Yet we have split Chelsea open countless times and theres barely any mention of their defence!:steam:
 
We really are wasteful. Still can't really complain being level after being 2-0 down. Take that at that half time.
 
We could have sooo many goals.

At least we're creating openings. Did so against City as well. But we don't have forwards that can finish them. Imagine someone like Henry or RVP in this team.
 
Our defence looks shocking
Our Attack has been incredibly wasteful

... On the plus side I really like how direct we are now from an attacking perspective.

Auba is TOP class he just needs to hit some form. He's every bit as good as RVP IMO.

Not good for the nerves that half <laugh>

Utter **** for the first 25 mins, then wasted 3 golden opportunities, before hauling ourselves back into the game.

We should be ahead at half time.
 
After the first 20 minutes, I thought we were going to be on the end of a route. Would have been happy to go in to the second half 2-0 down. Now? I can't believe we're not winning! <laugh> Football ey?

They were counter-attacking us with clinical precision and we were being incredibly profligate in front of goal. Then we managed to show some superb character to get back into the game. After Micky halved the deficit, we were all over them.

Were it not for Aubameyang - the one striker you would have wanted to be on the end of those chances - being so wasteful, we would be heading into the second half at least 4-2 up.

Can't complain too much after expecting the worst to begin with though.

Let's hope we are more ruthless in the second half, they are there for the taking!
 
Two teams who are very much in transition.
Both looked shaky as hell, game could have gone either way.
ill take the 3 points, be glad we played you early on and move on to the next game
 
Car crash of an opening to the season for us.... sigh. On to West Ham next week. Surely can't mess that up can we?
