Where the fuck was that energy and fight for the previous 90 minutes?

I still think the title is done and all this paranoid waffle about referees, it might make some of you feel better but the truth is tonight’s performance was a shambles and we were lucky to get a point let alone deserve anything more.

Garbage. We were the better team overall, a few mad moments, weird offside rule where you're offside then you're not, and the second was a foul on Khus in my opinion.
 
They showed grit to make the point but you can’t have errors and sloppy defense like this in this part of the season. Besides the goals we had luck In some situations that where sloppy, the first halv really good it's a shame we really can't but the game to rest by scoring more. But the second was horrible Semenyo please show me what you got, can't really se him making us better, he is no Mharez his he the beat winger we had in the 10 year period?
 
A mad 10/15 minutes detailing the title challenge. It looked like a young back four out there tonight. Defensive lapses costing us and not got the first time this season.

Ah well, back to relying on others to do us a favour
 
Pleased we got a point but what kind of performance was that?

The mistake can happen but time and again we leave ourselves in a position where we can’t afford a mistake.

Lethargic, slow, boring football again that produces fuck all. Doku’s first was a brilliant finish but our style of carry it forward, check back, play inside, allow the defence to settle and then try to pick a perfect pass is as dull as dishwater.

Playing this way, with how frail we’ve been and being second is a great achievement. We’d have blown the league away playing to the strengths of the squad though.
 
Robbed by the officials

Lino kept his flag down despite him being offside it doesn’t allow him to become onside as he gained an advantage from his offside in the same phase of play
This was a subjective offside decision and Oliver should have gone to a review as it’s his decision alone to decide

No doubt that PGMOL will come up with some excuse and bullshit
 
The easiest thing to do in the immediate aftermath with emotions riding high will be to blame the reffing. Yes, the Doku foul was a red card. Yes, some of Oliver’s decisions were debatable at best. Yes, it follows a pattern we’ve seen this season where weak on-field decisions have been backed up by farcical VAR calls. All of that is fair comment.

All that said, can the players really look at themselves and say that was the performance of a team worthy of winning the league? We played some reasonably decent stuff, especially 1st half, but they turned it round 2nd half and we had no answer. Their first and third goals, the first particularly, were Sunday League stuff. Just can’t do that kind of thing with a title at stake.

Glad we rescued a draw and it’s not over until it’s over, but it feels a long way away now compared to the final whistle of the Arsenal game. So frustrating.
