    Great result - and we deserved a point based on our second half performance. Pleased for Walcott and Vesty combining for the equaliser. Adams had another fantastic game (as did Ings). But the one who really impressed me when he came on was Tella - blistering pace, close to an assist with Ings toward the end there. Did not really see enough of Diallo to make a decent judgement but from what I saw he's going to be an asset for his positional sense as opposed to his speed.

    Really did fear for us in the first half, but that was a hell of a come back, against a great side.

    Really pleased all around, Che is off the mark for the season which means he's gonna score ****ing loads now hopefully

    Thought Diallo looked very impressive in his cameo at the end... Very good on the ball

    Good to see Vestergaard doing well after all the stick he has received.

    In fairness, for the rumoured £27m, I still would!! But looking much improved this season.

    I thought Adams and Romeu were good as well as Vestergaard and Ward-Prowse.

    Not sure if that's a point gained or not :s.

    Soon it'll be Vestergaard and Salisu together and they'll be our best two in CB.

    I think he's gone to London to shoot Vestergaard. <laugh>

    I think Vestegaard is unbeaten in any game he has featured this season for Saints or Denmark.

    Well that was an unexpectedly good point.

    A tale of two defences, but I'd have snapped your hand off for a point before the game, so happy days.

    The wheel of defensive ****ery was spun again this weekend and landed on Bednarek. Vestergaard avoided being chosen, he’s on a bit of a streak after Stephens started the season as the cursed one.

    We were behind in the match all but 19 minutes I think and all but 4 minutes from when Chelsea scored the first goal. Team definitely showed a lot of character today.

    A decent performance away to a top six club.

    Both defences could do better but it wasn't saints who spent £231m in the transfer window.

    I think what I'm most pleased with is the amount of chances we created given we were without Armstrong, a key playmaker. In previous games without Armstrong, we've looked flat and lacking creativity (against Palace for example).
