Jimmy_D Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Would have taken the point before the match! 2
nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Commentator conspiracy: The return of the white ball might be a reason for us stopping the rot.
obelisk Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Saints grew into that game. Got to be happy with that well-earned point. 4
LGTL Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Good point to stop the rot, but equally Chelsea didn’t really create anything for all their possession. Shame Ings had a brain freeze. 1
trousers Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Great result in the circumstances. Possibly our most important point of the season psychologically. Up to 30 points. My MotM is Djenepo, but special mention to Salisu. Edited 20 February, 2021 by trousers 6
Whitey Grandad Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I didn’t expect that. Shame about the penalty. 1
Sheaf Saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 A point! We got a point! Had forgotten how that felt TBH.
OttawaSaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 (edited) Good point but annoying that we gave them a pen and kept them out otherwise. Edited 20 February, 2021 by OttawaSaint
CB Fry Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Pleased with the point but disappointing to realise we only got that great result because of industrial scale match fixing. Really takes the shine off a decent performance. Sickening really. 2 1
Mr X Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Would have won if not for a moment of stupidity 1

The Cat Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Very good point. Really could have won if it wasn't for Ings brainfart. Defended very well, Salisu impressive. Midfield worked hard. Started badly with the ball in possession but used it better as the game went on. 1
BotleySaint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Ah can't believe we got a point. It was attack after attack from Chelsea but we can take heart. Really impressed with Salisu, Djenepo and thought Tella looks to have really improved too.
davefizzy14 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Great point - Salisu and Moussa both very good cool finish from Minamino 4

Norm Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Didn’t think we would get anything from this, more than happy with a point. I bet Chelsea manager is livid! 1
Teddeer Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Excellent point and we played a very sensible system. Could even have won it with Jan's header off the bar. Something to build on. 1
aintforever Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Decent result, Salisu looks a right good player. 3
Manuel Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 A bit disappointed as we were ahead, but would have bitten your hand off for a point beforehand.

Sunglasses Ron Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Feels like a win, much happier now 😇
Baird of the land Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Good point and decent performance. Shame vestergaard's header didn't go in. Hopefully we can build on that midweek. Thought Salisu, Vestergaard and Djenepo all played well Nice to see Mccarthy pulling off a decent save even if it did end up being called offside
Chez Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 we were fortunate to be leading considering how shit we were first half, so don't see it as dropping two points. Fought hard in the second half and made life harder for them. Didn't do much going forward, but the balance between attack and defence hasn't been right so we had to be more reserved. 1
stknowle Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Take that all day long. Djenepo became a MAN today. Salisu, Vest good. Also thought Redmond had his best game this season. 1

KWP being out is a big downer but maybe Salisu can play there and excel? I wish I stuck a tenner on it 🙃 1
nta786 Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 I think I’ve heard ‘stop the rot’ about 5 times in the last 2 minutes now.

They were poor in the final third, partly because we defended well. 3

That will do wonders for confidence. Salisu was worth the wait and I didn't think Djenepo had that performance in him, but the lad did very well. 2
Colinjb Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Nice to see us grow into a game for a change, we seemed to maybe be a bit less 'up and at them' then usual in the first half, maybe intentional to make sure we don't fade in the second? Djenepo was fantastic, a joy to watch today. Salisu also. A well worked point in uncharacteristic fashion for us.

SKD Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Credit where it’s due, we dug in and defended pretty well. We didn’t play well and I think if Chelsea were in top form they would have beaten us today. All in I’d say a draw is a fair result. Salisu looks a proper player and offers us more solidity in that back 4 (Jan should be looking over his shoulder) another 2 points dropped but something to build on today. the most obvious penalty you’ll ever see and McCarthy always just seems to dive down the middle... on to Leeds where we’ll have many more opportunities to score.

Thought Salisu's performance was the most encouraging part of the match; that and finally getting off 29 points! He and Vestergaard looked the best CB combination we've fielded for quite a while. Chelsea dominated midfield and young Mount was unstoppable in the second half, but it was a well earned point. Breaking the run of losses and getting to 30 points felt like a win. 1
suewhistle Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 That was a hard watch, and not just the dodgy stream.. After they'd equalised I steeled myself for Chelsea getting a winner so pleased with the one. Salisu occasionally looks a bit casual but he's going to be an asset. Djenepo my MoM, both for effort and for results. Good goal from us, lovely through ball by Redmond and excellent finish, although some of Minamino's passing didn't look up to scratch. As somebody else commented, off 29 points at last..

warsash saint Posted 20 February, 2021 Posted 20 February, 2021 Maybe a couple of yellows for Chelsea players 1st half, but ain't it nice not to be talking about abysmal officials?!
