Bet he was one of our lot.

WBCP was there and says the invader was giving wanker signs to the away end. So thankfully one of theirs.

 

Fair enough.

The difference was they had Benteke to bounce long balls off, he won everything today, we had midget Gayle who could have had a picnic on the half way line and no one would have noticed! We're just not good enough but in Kenedy and Slimani we have a little hope going forward.

Yeah that was noticeable for me, how well Benteke and Zaha used their physicality to push our defenders around and make sure the ball stuck when it went into them. The opposite of us basically.

 

Please tell me Slimani is going to bring something similar to our game.

Good point overall and 2 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats (both vs City and not really harming the goal difference) in our last 8 league games is decent enough form. Just a shame the home form has been poor as 2 points (and 4 blanks) against Swansea, BHA, Watford, Bmouth, Leicester and Everton in 6 of our last 7 games is inexcusable and may end up being our downfall.

It’s a shame because first half we were really good. But a decent point. Just really could have done with a win.

Thought we defended well today and had the luck. Considering the ball kept coming back continually throughout the second half, all the back four did OK given that Perez and Gayle are worthless up front and can't hold up the ball.

 

If Slimani is touch and go for man. u I wouldn't risk him. We need him fully fit and I don't see us troubling them.

Shearer spot on again.

 

 

It is a penalty though, just the law isn’t enforced consistently.

... that's the point.

It is a pen. But I don't think the ref or Benteke shouted for it? The linesman has got little ref syndrome.

 

Sky commentary thought it was a handball from the cross at first.

Thought Dummett played well today, Townsend barely had a sniff. Dummett usually has good gameswhen he doesn't have to do much going forward

 

He's got 4 assists in 6 games, so to stop that whilst giving him a good clattering is a job well done.

Who was that linesman? What was his agenda against us there... clearly something fishy with his overreaction to a 50/50 bit of shirt pulling.

Whether it's a penalty or not, he nearly creamed his pants when he gave it. Looked very unprofessional IMO
