‘Yup’ - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Didn’t stop quiet everything , but he is renown for ikeeping in a game to pull a rabbit out of the bag, and long May he be doing it if he carries on managing us.. Roy , put through the wringer though as said. Not everyone ,but far too many still thinking him pulling off a result like that isn’t good enough .

Once all the excitement and relief have passed, then it can be said that we were poor for the majority of the game and got lucky. Nothing to do with tactical genius, we had about the same amount of possession as the Liverpool game (26%) and even less attempts on target (2). Perhaps tactical genius Roy Hodgson knew that we were going to turn it on with 10 minutes remaining, in which case I doff my cap.
A big yes to the youngsters who came on and staked a claim for more time on the pitch. A big yes for Mateta who kept going right to the end and a big yes to Olise for keeping cool and putting the penalty away.
A welcome point and perhaps Roy Hodgson has finally realised that it is not possible to score (goals win games) being sat deep in your own half.

I say! What a spiffing turnaround and a well deserved result. One of those occasions when a draw feels like winning the Cup.

So pleased to see the youngsters making such an impact. Well done Roy and the team.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

...and go grab a Big Kahuna burger.

I was out all day and hear about the equaliser on the way home.
Sounds like we got a little bit lucky but after last week - who cares.
Something to build on at last because last Saturdays' performance was way better than the result.
I have always thought that Mateta was better than Edouarde so let's see what happens now he gets a run in the side.
Match of the Day will be worth watching.
On a different note - I do hope that the Tom Lockyer makes a full recovery - scary stuff that.
