Very disappointing but a point at least.

We have properly got away with one today with Chelsea drawing as well.
Unai needs to make our subs sooner and start Tammy from now on in.

Crap but could be a vital point.

Waiting so long to bring Tammy on feels like a mistake.

Just want to give some props to Barkley before everyone wades in. That was a superb half hour or so of football from him. Completely changed the pattern of the game. Sancho did well too.

4 wins and a couple of draws might just clinch top 5.

Too slow, too uninventive, too easy for the opposition goalie and too many poor individual performances, too often.

Play like we did in the second half from the off I fancy we'd have a nice 3 points in the bag.

They showed some spirit in the second half but there's a lack of confidence and a lack of guile. Sancho much better than Bailey.

5 goals out the last 7 league games and we still don’t start Tammy. I love Ollie but he’s bereft of confidence atm

Emery needs to adopt a different style of play. Involve Tammy from the start. Ross looked very lively. Ollie isn’t the answer up front but maybe we can play him and Tammy together. But the way we always set up isn’t working. At least not working with Youri and SJM out for a while. Too rigid, too predictable. We got a point but 4 points from a possible 12 against mediocre teams at home isn’t good if we really want to be in the CL next season.

I never ever want to see Bailey playing for Villa again.  Shocking.  Martinez being beaten from 30 yards from a wide position is awful. 

The first half was unbelievably bad.  The second better.  But a point at home to Leeds is nowhere near good enough if we’re being demanding.

Well despite that "effort", we've maintained the 6 point gap to Chelsea

Burnley scored a 93rd minute equaliser at Stamford Bridge after Chelsea had Fofana sent off for a 2nd yellow in the 72nd minute.

Chelsea will be really pissed off - until late on they were looking at a 3 point gain.

Instead the status quo has been preserved.
