Thought it was a bit of a mess at times in the second half there but we were resolute enough in the end. A draw against a very good team at home is still a respectable result, with another clean sheet to boot.

If we were able to make it stick up front a lot better then we could've even gone on to win that. Sandro wasn't the only culprit either, he can only do so much with three defenders surrounding him at every opportunity.
 
ha ha anti-football at it's best. So pleased we got a point though. I like that Beni as he is always looking to pass and doesn't get riled when on the ball. Schnides MOTM for me.
 
A good point. The side is currently the definition of mid-table which is a vast improvement on 'relegation fodder' from a month or so ago.

The youngsters are getting better, the side is more solid but we are lacking creativity.

Hopefully that will come soon.
 
Let us not be flippant. Chelski are current Champions (until the end of the season) and third in the Prem. They have quality all over the pitch. We battled for 95 minutes today and defended superbly. Ultimately, we probably had the best chance of the game with Keane's header. It is encouraging to see the team battle for each other all over the pitch. Things should only get better...
 
Solid defensive performance. Big Sam is getting a tune out of Jags, Williams and Keane who were dreadful earlier in the season.

We're struggling going forward that's plain as day - although I think (like against the rs) the gameplan was to get the brick wall set up and see what happens. I'd have taken a point before kickoff - particularly as Rooney was out. Not pretty to watch, but it's a point against Chelski and I'll take that all day long.
