To be honest I thought it was a decent performance today.
Much better than the dross against Liverpool away.
First half was reasonably even, we got bodies forward and Rondon didn't look isolated like he has in these games in the past. There was little in the way of chances at either end, but we probably had the best of what their was.
Second half their quality took over so we were getting pinned in, but we looked completely comfortable. The goal was simply down to Costa's endeavour and McAuley choosing to try and play out rather than into touch. I guess 99 times out of 100, you can get away from the striker. Shame because Gaz rarely ever makes a mistake and on this occasion, it cost us.
Didn't expect anything from this but we were value for a point.
