What? We scored 2 against Palace, and if Sanchez hadn't switched off and dropped the ball, Palace wouldn't have had a single shot on target, so you can't blame that on De Zerbi's tactics and not controlling the game.

A lot of slow ponderous counter attacks, missed opportunities and sloppy defending. Really frustrating that
Me too... I keep bashing my head wondering why I've started to expect we'll win each game
Add that to the recent list of points thrown away (Palace,Fulham,Leeds etc).
Boy we would be a good team if we were a bit more clinical and had a reliable first team goalie with a bit of height ! (both leeds goals would have been saved by a taller keeper).

The game itself was very even I thought, we were very sloppy and lazy, but on pure goal scoring chances we should have won the game comfortably.

Scored one?

2 points dropped. Steel only made 1 save all game, their 2 other shots would have been easily saved with better positioning. Passing wasn't good enough and we lacked something up top.

All the above is true but it remains that we are 7th as of this evening. Dirty are 19th and very possibly a Championship Team next season...
Yes, although when chasing European qualification it's not necessarily enough.
No, they didn't.
We scored two.
Too many points going begging for us to really push on to the next level. We’re a good side but a great one would be grinding out wins where we keep finding draws. Not a complaint so much as an observation.
Let’s make sure we smash them and all will be right with the world.

When we take the lead away from home, which we have against Leicester, palace and here, you have to kill the game, we continue to go gunho even whilst we are in the lead, which works at home it seems but not so much away.
Infuriating. Not a good performance, but not too disappointed with a point considering how shaky we looked at the back. It's not the end of the world but definitely goes down as two dropped.
Webster had a nightmare and was clearly injured. Baffling decision to leave him on for so long.
Welbeck's miss was the game-defining moment. Veltman and Mac Allister well below par today.

Away point, entertaining game. We had better chances but it could have gone either way.
On to the next one, and hopefully four points in two games against bottom of the table teams.

Played well lads and lasses - yes should have won it but appreciate the great football. I feel better about not winning v Leeds than I do Fulham etc. At least they had a go - should have scored at 1-2 - oh and Leeds have never beat us in the Premier League if that helps…
