A fantastic effort from all the lads tonight, we gave it everything to get that vital point. Hopefully we can build from it.

A bit of luck at times and didn’t offer much going forward but that was an absolutely superb effort all round, really buzzing after that one.

Shout out to Dominguez who ran himself to a standstill, fantastic stuff.

It was like stepping back to last season.

Agreed. Sels back on form and the backline were confident and composed. Just needed Woody up top really!

Yep, 10 out of 11 were here last season.

Sels was more vocal today than I've ever seen him

Been very much the tale of the season. First XI fine, the backups less so

I think the CHO penalty could very well have been given. The line is the mark. If the foul continues into the box which I contend it does then penalty. Ola's incident was the ball was on his chest and his arm was out. Not a penalty. Arteta can f**k off.

I think The Ginger Prince got it right today. We kept Arsenal at bay and they didn't look to have many ideas. I thought Ola was excellent today and made Martinelli get substituted. We deserved the result. They shouldn't have won.,

The Dominator was just that. He was f*****g magnificent. A tireless worker. Great great engine. I remember when he was selected into our first victory at Anfield. He was pivotal in that game too.

Obviously Sels made the important saves and Saka scares the life out of me, but a tremendous team performance effort. We didn't make them too nervous but we made them frustrated. This result makes me feel sooo much better after the Shammers and Luuuuds wins. NOW ONTO THAT PESKY PROBLEM OF NO GOAL SCORING!!!!! Clearly with N 'Doye coming on then Taiwo is toast...

Braga, we should change the team again. The question is: what mixture? Yatesy? Luiz? N'Doye? Savona? Bakwa? Victor? (yikes...).


Anyway, no win but Job done.

Chicago: Satisfied.

Nice to see Anderson perform at the level expected.

Some cracking saves from Sels too.

Anderson my MOTM. We all know he was overplayed until his level dropped. Now he’s had a short break it’s important to keep him fresh. We MUST rotate the squad.

Particularly in that position given we have Yates, Luiz, Sangare, Anderson and Dominguez.

Sels looked good, makes it even more baffling that John was legitimately starting!

We got the rub of the green yesterday with a few bits which we haven't been getting off late. You can see getting Aina back into the back 4 is making a difference. And Sangare sitting in front of them allows Anderson to do his thing. Add last years Wood into the side and we'd be sweet.

Well it seems to have given Sels the kick up the backside that he needed so I am all for it.

I think John in the team had nothing to do with Sells. Sells got an injury, John came in and did nothing much wrong. It wasnt that John was outstanding, he just didn't make any errors. By sticking with him, Dyche was sending a message to the squad players suggesting that if you get the shirt, you keep it, if you do the business.

100% and as Sniffer mentioned. That approach can give players a kick up the backside.

For Thursday I’d like to see likes of Luiz, Yates, McAtee, Bakwa starting and Ndoye given another try up top.
