Probably a fair result. Not perfect, but not a disaster either.

Decent enough first 60 mins but again thrown points away with a really poor goal - cannot keep doing this!
Substitutions added little and we lost our way in the last 30 mins - 2 points dropped and disappointing in the end.

Probably a fair result. Not perfect, but not a disaster either.

Agreed.

Sunderland game is huge.

[Rigadon]

Good first half, sloppy second. 

We missed too many chances to win the game and a draw was probably a fair result.  Norwich losing is a bonus.

[richard moore]

Bloody typical, two steps forward, one back

We can now sweat on some crucial games tomorrow, Wigan v Man City midweek and then the games next weekend where we are the team most likely to come away with nothing...

Probably a fair result. Not perfect, but not a disaster either.

Agree. Thought the subs didn't help us much and its a shame we didn't capitalise in the first half.

Still its not a bad weekend so far - let's see what happens tomorrow.

[Monty]

Should have won that, I feel, but Arsenal's comeback makes it all a little better. So long as Newcastle bring some bollocks to the derby we'll have breathing space.

[Toronto Villa]

Disappointing, but not the end of the world. We are inching closer to safety though a leap today would have been nice.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Good first half. Very mediocre second. We really missed Gabby today. For once we looked completely disjointed going forward.

Thank goodness Berbatov lost real interest after 60 minutes.

[PaulWinch again]

Piss poor after we scored and Weimann and N'Zog shouldn't have been taken off. The goal we conceded was absolutely criminal, and I don't think Bowery should be starting for us at all. That's nothing against him, he's just not good enough currently.

[onje_villa]

Incredibly frustrating, could have ended up losing a game that we ought to have comfortably wrapped up early on. We don't half miss some chances don't we? And why did Zog come off?!

[devilla]

The final ball let us down too much towards the end. Benteke should have squared it to Bent, would have been very different then.

Still, a point isn't a disaster I suppose.

[Jimbo]

Few teams deny themselves success like we do. We've almost turned it into an art form, so that's something we're perfecting, at least.

Overall, very disappointing. This is a game we really should have won, but we threw it away. Lapses in concentration, another own goal, poor substitutions, complacency. If we're going to escape the drop, we're going to do it the hard way. Twas ever thus.

[eamonn]

Main annoyance is with Lambert's reactive substitutions and tactical changes. We were rocking a bit before the Fulham equaliser. He always waits til we give away the lead before changing things.
