Will take the point but make no mistake that's 2 dropped and a missed opportunity despite never being in the lead.
If anybody ever thinks we don't need a striker just watch that. The amount of times players looked up to see an empty box and force us to stall and ultimately go backwards was unreal. Even a Danny Ings level of player challenges for the golden boot in this side. We're basically playing with 10 men every week because whoever plays in the false 9 is garbage, Sterling, Torres, Grealish all anonymous in that position, foden being adequate at Stamford Bridge is the best it's got and he's too good elsewhere to be doing that, as seen today. Its criminal we've handicapped ourselves so badly this season. I've no issue with us playing without a striker. The problem is we don't have a striker nor do we have a false 9. we just have an abundance of similar midfielders taking turns to sacrifice their game this week.
Tierney can fuck right off, I'm very much not in the large tin foil brigade we have on here but there's zero reason for milner not being sent off. Zero. I couldn't even begin to think of a possible explanation however warped it may be to offer for it potentially not being a yellow yet it will get brushed under the carpet entirely. really hope Pep loses the plot with it and just mentions it every single press conference going forward just to get media response, we're far too nice in the media and that was a points costing decision.
today can be summed up by simply saying we were excellent in our own two thirds but toothless upfront, it's a problem, a big one, it's cost us points again and it won't be the last time. I'm content with a point, 4 from Stamford Bridge and Anfield is nothing to scoff at and I'm very happy with the overall performances but that should be 3 wins this week and 3 comfortable wins at that not 1 win, 1 draw and a defeat.
