<laugh> Hazard doesn't care about dropping points he's just sad he didn't get another goal for himself

Here's one for you, apart from Allison, pick your motm. We've come away with a point from title challenges away from home and I couldn't say a player who really stood out.
 
Tough choice to make, one of the positives from today is our front three can't all be so bad on the same day again
Another positive is we continue to make great chances. All three up front work very hard especially Salah who, ironically has the worst finish atm. It will get better <ok>
 
All season we have been the same, can't string passes together up front and when we get a chance someone fluffs it. Same again today, just not making the right pass and Salah misses chances. Just poor play upfront in general all season

It's not the girl guides motm award lad. He scored so he wins

5 years from now when people mention this game it will be "the one where Sturridge curled it in from 50 yards in the last minute to keep our [HASHTAG]#invincible[/HASHTAG] season going"

Pretty happy with a point away to Chelsea. I think was a fair result.
Chelsea could have won, with our chances we could have won. That match was a great advert for the Premier Leauge.

We keep saying about 'when our front three click' I am a bit worried that 9 games in, they still look pants (by their standards)
 
Being hyper critical, maybe could have done better for the goal. When they ball doesn’t go into the corner and keeper gets fingers to it you always think maybe he could have been stronger but that’s only me being super harsh on him. Other than that, he punched few crosses and made 2 excellent saves v Willian and hazard and was quick to get Gini out of trouble after his shocking back pass. Very impressive.

Oh, he definitely could have done better for their goal but, for such a big guy, hard a low his his weak point too.

He still kept us in it though, two one-on-ones which would have seen us lose the game and he kept them both out. That's worthy of a MOTM award imo

I thought wini played very well. He was the one player who battled in midfield. VVD did his job nothing more.

isn't that a cbs job.

giroud never had a sniff. vvd won everything aerially.
he organised the line brilliantly.
he passed the ball brilliantly.

maybe we are being spoiled by his brilliance.


another shout for.me is Milner... not for anything he did on the ball.but for.not giving up as Henderson and wijnaldum sideways and back passed. the only guy I saw who kept moving and offering for a positive pass was Milner.

salah and firmino were particularly **** and static today

VVD was superb, tough call between the two imo. Gomez was very good again too.

Robbo was good but not quite his best imo and TAA showed his age today.

Milner the first time this season I thought Milner looked like he needed a rest.

Hendo was Hendo; typical 7/10 performance. Not spectacular but did his job.

The front three are becoming very frustrating...

I can't fault Firmino because he's working his socks off but not getting the service or breaks.

Mane as become greedy. Envious of Salah being seen as the main man?

Something is amiss with Salah. He just doesn't seem himself
