I think people's expectations for results in individual games are a little out of whack. The Premier League has changed pretty significantly over the past few years because of the TV money. All these mid-table clubs have improved a lot and they are nicking more points. I'll bet the League winner and the fourth place finisher end with a lower point total than we are used to.
Point being that we (like the other top six sides) can't expect to beat all these "shit" teams anymore. Although we were bad today, we got a point. Disappointed with our play, but in the new Prem, I'll take the result.

who's the better player u would replace him with though?
If we can have an off day on the road and still get out with a point, I'm fine with it.
Yes but a couple of extra wins and we'd be top of the league and I assume we aren't complaining that we aren't topping the table.
It's fine margines either way but in the past we'd be more likely to have seen those draws thrown away to losses than converted to wins.
We are moving in the right direction.
Not the greatest performance, yet we still didn't lose.
Frustrating with united and City dropping points to not gain, however we are still right in it. All with another goal too.

Son could start ahead of him just to give him a kick up the arse.
Eriksen plays with the least amount of urgency of all our players. He needs to know that his place isn't a given and he has to work harder for it.
I realise this is very retrospective but had we gone 4-4-2 today, without Ericksen, and played either/or N'jie/Son up front with HK do you think that would have made a difference?
I've often questioned the rigidity of Poch's system in the past (not here, on another blog)...sometimes I feel he doesn't ask enough questions of the opposition.

On the Eriksen debate. I understand he goes missing more than we'd like, but so did VDV. I also understand Eriksen isn't the player VDV was. But, like VDV, you have him on the pitch for what he does, which is win games.
When he's poor, you notice because he's our focal point. When he's excellent you notice for the same reasons.
Luckily, the rest of our side allow a player like Eriksen. Much like others did when VDV was about.
Don't alienate him.

Agree, we looked tired. Not closing down on the ball like the last few matches.
We don't see to pull the trigger on the 1st option pass to the through runner but instead jerk around looking for the perfect pass which wasn't there today in the Baggies defense.
Harry was not much of a factor today due to this.
Clinton was on sides
Harry was dragged down in the box on his near miss.

son was ineffective too though.
why do we look tired again if we are superfit?
One of the tightest offsides i've ever seen.:clintonohshit:
Is two free kicks 2 months ago and 10 games ago meant to impress me? lol
Well, yes, that's it. As Totti said earlier, when did he last create a goal scoring opportunity or play really well? Would Son and Lamela on either side of Dembele create more?
