Seen enough today that tells me if we can pick up a decent striker then we will be fine this season.

I agree, we desperately need that striker. I see Simms got a brace as well.

Echo your thoughts mate, expected a tonking today but we did well, on another day we could have won that, with the new lads coming in hopefully we'll be ok, fingers crossed for the rest of the season coyb.

Agree mate, need one Badley, A stupid back pass and stupid pen cost us a pt.

I thought so to, but there is a but. We are supposed to have had a strategic review. A review that fails to recognise what if our only striker gets injured! We coped quite well with Chelsea defensively but had nothing up front.

We need someone who can provide assists. Gray, McNeil and Gordon all need to improve their passing and generally get their heads up, some more than others.

On the up side the defence and midfield looked good which is where we massively struggled last season.

I think we are close and, like you say, we desperately need a striker. But I also think we need someone who can provide assists. If we are going to persist with 523 our wingers need to be much better.

100% agree! There was no sitting in waiting. Sterling should me in a circus, guy is a disgrace. Tarks - what a leader we have now.

Seems we are all, just about, in agreement. The fight was there, and some quality, with more to come. Tarkowski was outstanding. Really wish we’d gone with a different option than Gordon through the middle. Overall, some promising signs though.

Agree with the above, played well and deserved a draw . Only issue is with Godfrey now a long term injury and Mina again proving he is made of glass think Coady could be necessary. Also Dele is finished as a footballer at this level, don’t know if there is a penalty for moving him on already due to Spurs but he offers nothing . Onana, Gana and a striker will improve us significantly, think we will have an uneventful mid table finish.

I thought we played well today. Our passing a lot of the time was quick and efficient, players moving into good space, and generally we looked like we could create chances. It was always going to be a tough ask to score though without a recognised attacker.
Defensively i thought we looked strong, corners safely cleared which was a huge problem last year. Tarkowski was very good, and dare i say, so was Holgate.
Iwobi worked hard, he tried, he wasn't afraid to get back and defend, so looks like he's continuing the end of season style rather than those 'lost dog, run into a wall' type runs that he'd always make when joining.
Doucoure, but of good and bad with him. Looked like he was trying both offensively and defensively and doing ok. But then the return of the crazy reckless charging into players that he does too often.
I don't think any fan can be disheartened by today's performance. Challenge for Europe? Not a chance. Clear ourselves from the relegation battle early, consolidate and further build from there is a good solid aim.

Very fair assessment mate, good post.
