What a team performance that was, competed with the best team in Europe for the entire game. Switched off a couple of times and got punished for it but the absolute fight in this team is unbelievable!
So proud of this team, properly play for the shirt!

Not too unhappy with a point after that terrible first half hour where we were all over the shop but the improvement after that was very impressive.
Could have won it with Mukiele's header but didn't really create that much otherwise and fourth after 10 games, can't complain!

Not getting carried away with us being second but we absolutely look like a proper Premier League side and not a newly promoted one.

Thought we showed them too much respect in the first half hour or so and by that time the game was all but won. Just didn't get at them with pace and build up was too slow.
Recovered OK and showed better signs but can't start that slow, you'll just get punished.
