I think people are living in the past with this “a point at Stamford Bridge is great” mentality.  Chelsea aren’t that great - they were there for the taking.  

Seriously ?  If we finish above Chelsea, we will be guaranteed top 6.  That’s a pretty good point gained.  Yes, it could have been 3 points, but Chelsea will still be up there.

Evans is one of the best defenders in the league so underrated

Exciting second half.

It seemed a bit weird after the final whistle singing about HM- did BR and Kasper  look a bit confused by it? 

They were singing Harry maguire, we don't need you, we've got Soyuncu, he's f'ing massive

[Ric Flair]

I'm obsessed with Soyuncu

[The Quick Brown Fox]

How bad was Coles head injury? Sounds like he was kicked in the head by the mountain from the game of thrones. 

[TheLittleBigMan]

Can tell we're still bedding in with one or two things but i'm happy enough with our start to the season. We will get better, so a point away at this stage considering what a cracker the game was is all good in my books.

 

Up titty.

Fuchs was 10x more effective today than Chilly was last week.

Well done Christian!

Jury still out for me on Tielemans. I thought it last season and feel the same this. No pace; slows it right down when he gets the ball. Certainly not a box to box engine on him. 

As an aside Maddison free-kick in the first half, I think it was Vardy pulled back as they all ran in; is that not a VAR consideration then?

[STUHILL]

Soyuncu makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside

I know, but the loudest bit is Harry Maguire, and I just thought they look confused when appaulding the fans. Plus better to sing a song about the club and move on from HM

Game of 2 halves, Chelsea should have been 3 up, but it's fair to say we should have won it in the end

[Guest BlueBrett]

We do seem very good defensively. Never looked like conceding outside that first ten minutes. If we can move it forward a bit quicker and get the timing of that final ball right maybe we really can do something this season

I thought Praet adapted very quickly, that diving interception that set up a great attack was important as Chelsea looked to be on the break.

 

If we play this same personnel next week I'll not be happy, surely he can't?

It will be interesting to see what lineup he picks for sure. I’d say though that 2 draws in a row against teams that finished above us isn’t too shabby. Of course we’d prefer wins but remaining unbeaten is good for confidence. 

 

Perez for me is the most likely to be swapped but he is the 30m man!

If this is what they are, I could see Chelsea finishing anywhere 6-10th. Mid-table.  Their back line is dodgy as hell.

[Harry96]

Absolutely gutted we haven’t won that, reminded me of spurs last year but we were even better. Hopefully get that first win next week 

[Mickyblueeyes]

People calling for Madders to be taken off at half time would’ve missed that second half performance. Seriously, we have a midfield of lads 22 or under. These guys are as talented as anyone else we have had at this club and need praising when they do well and support when it isn’t working - just grow up a bit. They are young and technically gifted, not the finished article.

[TheUltimateWinner]

Good comeback second half. But I am disappointed as I believe Chelsea were there for the taking. Think they'll finish mid table this season and we'll look back at this game knowing we dropped 2 points.

[bfox]

Hopefully we can play a bit more expansive football for both halves for the next 2 games. Certainly not 2 CDMs!

[fuchsntf]

Souness & Sky Panel ,  Great points...!!

 

fair dues!!!    ,alot about Leicester and Maddison especially. Actually noticing the small Skills und hard fought tackles...

I will say it now...Top 8 secure!!   Open question can I have a @FIF  moment,and be Mad Dreaming of pushing Top 5.

Then again its only 2nd game....positives or negatives too early,but lets Dream before we get into the Real nitty-gritty of the PL.

Rather look forward,than posting negatives and having downers,on anything thats not quite there....That wrly smile that you see of

our fox on our badge,telling us the chasingg  hounds,might just be biting off more they can chew..!!!

[Sublime_Coatsworth]

wanted to see Barnes in the last 20 mins - think he would’ve made the difference

 

Think in a few months we'll see that as 2 points dropped - Lampard will be gone by Christmas

[Bats8711]

So - what exactly did we change at half time?

Is that the kinda fuzzy that makes a great women's hair conditioner? 

[Nicolo Barella]

Hey, our substitute ref had a great game imo.
