Woah, you don’t wanna come on here posting sense like that after a defeat good away point good performance good tactical performance disgraceful surrender. We're 2-0 up with two clear chances inches from the goal against a side who lost 4-1 in their last game to Huddersfield. I get that it's good to get away points, i'm all for that. Seriously though, if the positives of managing a draw overide your sense of absolutely throwing that away then fair f***ing play. Before the game, most people were happy with a point? What’s changed? Aye, we were leading the game and comfortable, but we still got the point that everyone thought would be so good? Is it a bad point now? Do we not want it? It’s another point towards the total we need, in a game where we probably didn’t expect any. We’re still in good form (which people seem to forget) and we’ve got a relatively easy run-in compared to our rivals. We need what? 9 points to be on 38 and probably survive. I think people need to step back and look at the bigger picture. Yep, unbeaten in nearly 2 and a half months excluding the city games - and playing some good football on the regular now. We seemed to have improved a lot in the last month or so and we are taking the game to teams as we haven't in the past. A shaky 15 minute period shouldn't rule out all of what's going good for us at the moment - as there's lots if you choose to look.

Am I missing something here? Are people talking about the chance where Atsu should have squared the ball much sooner, instead leaving Shelvey with what I certainly wouldn't call a 'sitter' given Ake had recovered by that point. He had another very good game.

Some are being a bit overcritical here imo, we were brilliant today for the most part and had one of those two chances gone in we would all be elated and praising everyone from manager to players. Yes it's frustrating to not win that - but that's kind of the point - and there's some unduly harsh criticism being dealt out here all things considered.

Excellent again today. Was really worried when he went down injured so it was good to see him get back up and continue. Feel so assured with him at the back, wonderful signing.

Excluding City, the last team we lost to in the league was Arsenal in mid December (Dec 16). We're doing very, very well when put into perspective.

Meh, any of us would have taken 4 points from the last 2 games. We were excellent first half today so people saying we're dreadful etc are clearly wrong. Unacceptable final 20 minutes and we need the players to learn from that. A decent point all things considered despite how frustrating it is.

That Mousset has caused us way too many problems since coming on.

We just need to keep doing what we're doing, no panic, we will win this. Second half was always going to be more about defending yet we have still looked dangerous. Wouldn't be surprised to see us catch them out and make it 3-1. Benitez has played this 2nd well.

Love Dubravka's enthusiasm & his encouraging of teammates, oozes confidence the lad.

Lejeune, Shelvey & Lascelles all excellent for us there. Dummett with his usual solid performance. I think the ref has had a good half which I rarely think to comment on. Really enjoyed that.

Is he not injured perhaps? Seems a fair possibility given he's out of the squad entirely. Wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet.

Let's enjoy him while he's here then; and hope that if he is to leave, his leadership qualities and determination have had a positive influence on other members of the squad.

Always read their sponsor as Rakitic rather than Rakuten. Word association and that.

Lovely finish. Pretty standard from him but lovely nonetheless.

Hartlepool.

They'll probably win this match yet.

Love Willian like, favourite non-nufc player of mine for sure.

Really looking forward to Chelsea v Barcelona like. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint as these attractive-looking fixtures sometimes do.

Looks like Wigan Pier at closing time.

Already scored a banger against them once this season

Shola at Stoke/Palace.

Surely a Wigan fan? I thought it was the City fans causing the aggro. Well don't I feel silly.

This was the highlight of his NUFC career: FFS

Bizarre of the City fan going at possibly the best player in the history of their club like.

Wigan playing Wonderwall at the final whistle Southampton must be pleased with that.
