Absolutely agree.

Atkinson should have surely booked Xhaka for the penalty and should have sent him off for the 700 fouls he made in the game.

Son should never have been sacrificed.

Sanchez is a fucking clown at right back.

Lo Celso looked sharp in his cameo.

Sissoko needs to be put on shooting duties.

Meh.
I really thought Xhaka was booked when the penalty was given. How was it not when he lunged in like that?

Pretty crazy game, that. Typical derby. We had some good moments and some terrible ones but I can't fault our effort - haven't seen us run like that for a while. We were definitely lucky to get away with the Sanchez experiment, though. Can't believe he lasted the 90.

The conceding of their first was criminal. You won’t see a worse phase of defending in the premier league this season. What the fuck has happened to us defensively???

We really should have 8-10 points. That loss last week, and this draw are largely unacceptable given who we were playing, and the match situations. Already 7 off top ffs. Awful stuff right now

It's all such obvious stuff

Winks and sissoko didnt control 1 minute of that game.

Play the right back on the bench at right back.

Why can we all see it. So so poor.

On the break they were they for the taking 2nd half. So many breaks and we created 1 solid chance. Even that was from an angle (so unlucky Kane)

I love to see some evidence. The truth is we are incohesive and everyone knows how to play against us
One opinion against another... we’re not at our best but there were moments of beauty in there. Credit to arse, they were good at times

Two results out of four this season where in previous seasons we'd have proper gone to bits and got turned over by three or four.

Yet again we gift the opposition ways to get back into a match.

Bittersweet for me.

Team kept going even if we were disjointed for periods at the back and lacked fluidity in central mid.

He has work to do, and they need people who have been out or are out to get back. Run of games coming up now with a couple more testers.

Anyway, it'll go down as 2 a piece in the record books.

Coys.

Neville and co were talking about possible red card. I didn’t agree but shows how it was easily a yellow.

Atkinson’s handling of Xhaka was disgusting

Utterly pathetic officiating yet again.

Premier league officials are a disgrace to the league.

Woeful.
I never pay much attention to the referees or criticise them really, but I thought he was a disgrace. It might as well have been tag football today. I much prefer referees who let a game run and don't see any sort of contact as a foul.

Really need N'Dombele back. Sissoko and Rose both look like age is starting to catch up to them. Winks did very little again.

Not sure how we are going to replace our entire back four next summer but looking like we may need to do so (through contracts or age). Verts looked slow to ball in both goals.

TBF I would take Pepe on this team in a second. Needs fine tuning but you can see the potential he has.

Battered in the two away games but dogged displays give us welcome points,Sanchez horribly exposed as a right back and the fucking about between Lloris and the centre halves needs to sorted ,it invites pressure.

Well, at least we did way better than most of us thought we would but I will never understand how a professional footballer can have the end product that Sissoko. It's such a shame that he's a complete waste of space in the final third because otherwise he'd be a really good footballer.

1 point taken today but feels like 2 lost.
