I dont think we can dominate a game for the whole 90 mins though. Todays approach was excellent. Keep it tight in the first and go for it in the 2nd.

Pap, or alternatively go for it from the start get the lead and some goals, then keep it tight in the 2nd half!

Part of the reason we got a point today was by sitting back and being passive, moving their back line further up the pitch so that when we could turn over possession we had space to attack.

Thought we only had 28% possession in each half?

Don't think we should read too much into the game as we should have punished Chelsea who were weirdly sh1t-which our midfield helped to make happen tbf. All that possession and they did very little with it. 28% and we should have had 3 in even 4. Funny old game.

All about the next one now..

Some unusual results this round for the big clubs. Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs all failed to win. Man Utd won by the odd goal. World cup hangover for these top players maybe?

Our right hand side has the second lowest cross completion rate in the division.

Crossing is overrated according to that visual. Doesn’t include set piece crosses does it?

I hate stats and I take no notice of them at all they can be very misleading.

John Robertson would be crap. Tackles won 0, headers won 0, duals won 0, shots on target 0, distance covered 1km etc etc.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

Doesn’t include corners. 

Thought it was interesting given the criticism of Brennan on Monday.

That reminded me that someone once said that football is a simple game made complicated by idiots.

Make that four. Lampard surely on borrowed time now.
