You did deserve the draw as you scored an equal amount of goals to us. However, one shot on target which was the simplest of saves for Krul suggest you are utter ****ing **** and didn't create the chances yourselves to warrant a draw.
Have to say, top draw save from Mignolet to keep out Ba which would have won us the game.
We didn't penetrate, Pure and simple and you're right.
Sessegnon did little but hold the ball up, but he was well marked and offered little else, Fletcher has had better days, Gardner and Larrson had decent games and Jimmy C was a bit more lively, also Johnson played well in the first half (but where was he the 2nd half? We were better for Vaughan coming on) -and Rose was terrific between him and Collocini for MOTM, and btw ...Demba Ba was a handful all game, Hatem was lively and by far better than Stephan today and the back line was hard to break down.
It was a good blood and guts game and the OP is right, you sat back. For the record, I think the ref saw the footage from the last derby-it was was a harsh sending off, but we're even now on that score and it's done -that said, you looked like you were there for the taking even before the sending off /my2cents.com
Whilst looking dangerous at times, we were the better looking team on the balance of play throughout -more composure on the ball, better possession, generally winning the war for grit and getting to the ball first and having a go. We also lacked the inspiration to create anything that was likely to get us a goal.
Did we deserve to win? -no and we've got to sort this out, ie: our attacking midfield is **** at the moment.
Did we deserve to draw? Yes, next question.
Did we deserve to lose? We played better today, we need to keep playing like that winning a couple of games ...and no, we didn't deserve to lose
