Fantastic response to going behind. Mo was brilliant as so often he is. I'm still perplexed by their penalty. I'm fine if it was deemed on the line but the commentator on my feed (an ex saints player who constantly moaned about them not getting penalties) said it was given because the contact continued into the box. Has the rules changed from 'initial contact was outside of the box so no pen'?

Pleased with a point. We gave them too much respect in the first half and didn't have any control. Second half was so much better from us. Noticed that we still keep our shape till the end of the match. We don't sit back and invite pressure. Pretty sure they arsenal fans booed at the final whistle. What an irritating team and bunch of fans they are.

He's doing things that make you go 'wow'. Things that don't really make sense. He's breaking the space time continuum and I'm all for it. Considering I was ok with us selling him in the summer, I'm eating a lot of humble pie, and it's not helping my waistline.

This is from my Juventus supporting friend... "I think he is really good. It took him a bit to recover from the injury but he is a good purchase. He just didn’t want to renew with Juve so they sold him instead of losing him in January as free agent. I think he would have kept him otherwise. And I think he can do well in PL. By far one of the best Italian player at the moment. He just need to play in a system that works for him."

Favourite comment from that is... "They are all wondering when the city keeper invented the lightbulb."

Apparently the guy that punched Darwin is a priest.

Virgil has once again been absolutely immense. some extraordinary decisions from the refs once again. Stopping the game there because he pulled his hamstring?! I also want to see the Jota foul which looked on the line.

Think it's about time we start trying to learn from out defeats and not persevering with what's worked in the past.

That little bit of chasing down he did on Ederson and then turning around to berate others for not doing the same was comical. Put that shift in every time someone near you has the ball and we might not look so s*** at the back.

This tactic of lets make 5 players stand and watch them pass it around their box so they can bypass our whole team with one pass is maddening. Is that our solution to a lack of press - shove them higher up the pitch and hope they get lucky with an opposition s*** pass? Was really hoping Gapko was a bit quicker. He will score goals though. Salah is completely isolated and then we he gets the ball he has 5 players on him at once. They don't need to mark our non existent midfield so can load up on him. Ox......

I didn’t realise we were playing yesterday. Popped on here and saw the match thread was a long one. Thought we must have lost or drawn so spent the whole match worrying about a last min equaliser. Be curious to know the average length of a match day thread to when we lose vs win. Nunez seems to be a half second off each time he shoots. When he calms down and trusts himself more, he’s going to be immense. We def need Fab back. Quite something we’re relying on Ox, I almost feel sorry for him when I watch him play. He clearly doesn’t have much confidence in himself anymore.

He’s going to score some audacious goals.

That was fun. Really really needed that today. What a difference a bit of passion and drive makes. Bring on tottenham.
