Because story in sports is what sells. Anyone who watched that game knows he wasn’t MOTM but the narrative is good for the media

Shit from most the team but shitter still from pep. The way he set us up first half was horrendous, we were wide open and incredibly fortunate to be level at halftime. We really couldn't have complained if we were 2/3 down.
Made some much needed adjustments second half, bwttwr for it, we get infront then as the game is getting a bit more open for us and Doku is coming into the game more and starts to look like scoring or creating everytime he gets it, he takes him off and all the threat of us making it 4-2 and killing them off goes away. Really shit decision from pep, completely killed our threat and gave them back the momentum. Change wasnt needed at all but if he wanted grealish on, alvarez should have been subbed off.
All dropped points so far this season have been down to pep setting us up poorly.
Regardless of how arsenal and liverpool got on in the same fixture, a point isn't a good result, they've lost to brentford, villa and forest at home already and there's a reason they're currently 10th.
Judging the game by itself I think we're lucky to come away with a point from that. I think they were better, had the better chances and should have won so you take a point based on how the game went but that shouldn't have been how the game went.
arsenal and the dippers gaining ground on us makes it a crap weekend. 2 absolute must win games now up next as we host the dippers and spurs. Going to have to find a level we have barely reached this season if at all to take 6 points from those.

Agreed. Energy.Chelsea not being in Europe was a major factor in their performance along with their away win at Spursy.
Sterling was clearly better.He was playing for Chelsea?
Ah. In that case...we...I don't fucking know. That game was a complete cluster fuck.No, you gotta go with the best player, hence the title Man of the Match.

We have been sloppy this season at the back. Very sloppy after a promising start.We lost the lead three times. Do we need to re-write "the best defence in Europe song"?

Yeah as long as he's at the bottom of the table, our bum would remain right where it should be, in front of his face! Bite away!Palmer came back to bite us on the bum .

I don't remember Sterling EVER having a good game against Liverpool, but he turned into fucking Ronaldinho against us and celebrates? Maybe im wrong but i kind of remember him not celebrating against Liverpool? Anyway, we should have controlled the ball better and not allowed for what always happens with Poch teams, transitions. I think that's where we missed Stones.
