Good result after going behind. Shame we didn't win but at least we maintained tempo in the second half and showed fight. Shout out to Cabellaro.
Few thoughts. 1 - a point is a decent result against a team on a high, who have only lost once at home this season. 2 - if I never hear Nigel Spackman commentate on a game again, it'll be too soon. 3 - if I never see Ref Said Fred again, it'll be too soon. 4 - JWPs set pieces were back to being very good, but what is it with him and really, really crap passes at the end of games. 5 - I love Lyanco, but I really don't think he's terribly bright. 6 - I'm glad he took off Broja when he did. We want him fit and firing for Saturday. 7 - I have to do another thread. Tried to reverse the mechanism completely on this one, but it's a bit rusty. 8 - We'll beat Brentford. 9 - Caballero looked a lot steadier tonight, understandably.
I'm slightly annoyed how the ball somehow missed a Palace arm in the build up to Ayew's goal. The ball pretty much hit everywhere else on the Palace player's body before the ball fell to Ayew.
Carry on like this and we could reach the dizzy heights of 14th! I guess we just have to adjust our expectations these days, 14-17th is where we belong. I think I’m still hopeful of the MP/Koeman days returning. Them days is gone.
Well played lads. Much more composed over the full 90. Gallagher is a hell of a player, so good to watch.
He's quality but I though Broja slightly outshone him tonight in the battle of Chelsea loanees. I thought he was terrific.
Broja was excellent no doubt. But Gallagher was pulling strings the entire match. He's technically so gifted, and his vision and passing are both top class.
After recent results, that's all that needs to be said about tonight Same battling performance v Brentford, could, could be 3 points this time. Let's just get off the backs with some of our players, I can't get into this business of sledging certain players. If they wear the shirt, give 100% then that's good enough for me.
Really thought Zaha and Gallagher were going to run riot tonight. Saints are still a one trick pony. We’ve swapped Ings for Broja. If they are on song Saints have a chance. Few other game changers. Can’t see Broja staying next season. Better start trawling top 6 academies now.
