Can respect the point but not the performance. One attempt in 90 mins and could easily have lost if Leicester had taken their chances. We seem to be going backwards. Time to blood some of the youngsters. We might get a little more enthusiasm then

Boring game. To Milo's credit he played well. Doucoure must be carrying an injury coz he played aweful. Jairo played well. Zaha had ANOTHER day off. Olise needed earlier. Ward was lucky not to have been eaten alive by Barnes. Guaita saved us as they were slightly more threatening. BORING. A lousy point. We need to be beaten teams like Leicester whose confidence is low - they'll be harder to beat later. Unhappy with sad performance and lack of chances. I was actually okay with Zaha being hooked. A positive for Leicester is that they defended brilliantly.

Terrible performance. Guaita kept us in game. I could not understand why was Olise ignored after coming on, as very few passes went to him and when they did, he was already surrounded by defenders. No idea why there was a lack of through balls, as there were plenty of runs. On the positive side, Riedewald looks like a viable option at left back and Luka is also a capable backup.

I’ll take the point TBF but what an awful awful game of football. If it were the only game today we’d still be last on MoTD. Neither team deserved to win. Both teams contributed towards that utter dross so I’m hoping for much better Tuesday… it can’t be much worse. I reckon they'd just cancel it tbh. That was atrocious. Reminded me a bit of the latter performances under Hodgson. Could barely string a pass together. Worst performance under PV and they need to sort themselves out quickly in time for Tuesday. Obviously the only positive is the point.

Absolute dross. We lose every aimless punt upfield by Guaita, time after time, so then we bring on Mateta to make absolutely certain that we continue to lose every aimless punt upfield. I appreciate that Luka hasn't been everyone's favourite of late, but he didn't do a lot wrong after coming on. Neither did Jairo. But hey; it's an away point.

That was a poor game and you felt we wouldn't score if we played another 90 mins.

There are too many players who think strolling around the pitch at a jog is sufficient effort for this league. Well, they might have silky skills but the effort is lacking. It is appalling to watch. Olise, Eze, Edouard and Zaha cannot or don’t bother defending and leave all the hard work to the back 4, Doucoure and Ayew who at least puts in a shift. We need to build from midfield but we have so little control there that we just rely on the hoof from Anderson and hope it sticks to one of the front 3. We are becoming so predictable in our attacking that the opposition just overload the wings with defenders and we are unable to produce anything. No real chances apart from Edouards shot and a couple of headers that missed the target. Absolutely appalling against the worst defence in the league.

Well that was one of the laziest 5h1t shows Ive seen for a while. Looked like the forwards were made of concrete today and this time wasting against the poorer sides is pi55ing me off too. Pretty disgusting effort today it must be said and wondering wether we will ever put any sort of consistent run together in this league.

The point is gratefully received, although not deserved, the performance against the current worst team in the league says a lot about us. We have no punch in the final third, we are lacking in midfield and our defence struggles when pressed and lacks pace. Passing out from the back is too slow and then when pressed we panic and give the ball away far too easily. Okay it's still early season but this is the games we must win if we do not want to end up in the relegation fight!
