Yet another travesty of a result - we could easily have had five points from the last three games. I agree that we don't look like one of the worst three teams in the league, but the points target is looking more and more daunting - we now have 27 matches to get 36 points, taking us to 40. Although the other relegation contenders are losing matches, there's no one obviously rubbish team that look sure to go down. Worrying.

Unfortunately not all of them are with Bournemouth winning yesterday. It would only now need Everton to pick up a win and we will need 7 points just to get out of the bottom three.

This won't please those who hate comments reminding them that we are playing without a striker, but two fast wingers who start their work from deep midfield are no replacement for a disciplined number nine who makes defences earn their corn.

Until that is addressed this disappointment will continue.

Sadly Zaha had an awful game today which probably cost us a well earnt point. Having said that, without him we'd have no outlet.

Also, there's no point in ever bringing Sako on. All he does is stand offside and offer nothing.

Really disappointed by the result today. We need to start getting what we deserve from matches or we get relegated.

Wasn't awful, but he made a few critical errors. The chance, failing to find RLC and nearly setting up Son for a second. We don't know if we'd have won if he'd scored, but wouldn't it of been nice to find out?

To be fair, I felt we were doomed several games ago - Chelsea result aside - so I feel a lot more relaxed watching games. We played well, and in a sense that feels worse that we didn't get a result. Still, take each game as it comes, and we should start seeing a few better results. Taken as a whole, the last four games in the league have definitely seen a turn around, beating Chelsea, annoying loss to Newcastle, comeback draw with the Spam and a narrow loss to an excellent Spurs side. We can do it, I just don't expect it.

Just a blip I’m sure and I think as opposed to him being awful I think it was more his decision making that let him down! Having said that Townsend has the open goal we score!

Yeah you're right- it was his decision making. Even in the last minute of added time, his decision to go inside rather than out and then foul their player costs us one last chance. Just felt like whereas against Chelsea and West Ham it worked for him, today everything didn't. No bad feeling against him- just one of those things.

Problem is, we have nothing on the bench to liven it up. Always frustrates me that in the season we had Zaha and Bolasie, and one got injured or wasn't in form we were f***ed. We then signed Townsend to sort that and then f***ing sold Bolasie!!

hope is sadly fading, we have got into the position of anything but wins in our next three games and we are goosed.

Haha- exactly right! If only he could've set RLC up as well as he did Son!

There's no such thing, unfortunately. 4 points from 11 games is all that matters.


I beg to differ - if we have to accept that only one thing matters, then all that matters is finishing above 3 other teams at the end of the season.

In reality there are other considerations, such as whether we are being entertained and willing to pay the ticket prices, but the most important single statistic is out position in the final table.

One is against Everton and what concerns me is that in all likelihood they will have a new manager by then.

Don't worry if it is Sam he normally takes time to get up and running and we can always waive his compensation fee, lol !!

Spurs fans have us finishing 14th after today. Our fans seem to be the only ones that think we are doomed after watching us play! Lets hope Spurs fans are right about something for a change!!!

Played well considering we were away to a top side. We didn’t take our chances and it cost us dear.
