We played superbly in the first half. We can't blame the refereeing for the chances we missed.

2 points dropped. Really frustrating, especially second half when we just couldn't get going.

Referee is an utter wanker.

We need di Maria and others back, had nobody off the bench who could make a difference going forward.

Those missed chances came back to haunt us.
First half was sublime.
Second half was terrible.
Both halves laced with a pathetic display by the ref.

Points bloody dropped thanks to poor finishing. Had so many clear cut chances.

We looked tired towards the end, will need the rest before Stoke.

Should have won. It became increasingly obvious that we were happy with a draw from the hour mark.

I think that probably puts an end to the non-existent 'title dreams' and opens up the top four race a bit.

2nd half we played shite, not too often we went past the half way line, don't think we even had a shot.

Decent performance, but did not take the chances.
A point is not a terrible result.
Worried about tired players going to Stoke though. Injuries are limiting options.
Rafael replacing Valencia for some games is a worry.

Why do Spurs completely roll over for Chelsea and Arsenal twice a season yet they've played their best football against us in recent years. So fecking annoying..

I can see how Liverpool beat them 3 nil earlier this season...

Still a good performance

Frustrating second half, we never got started. Think we should have changed the system second half to put more pressure on their defence and get rvp/falcao involved more - they were virtually non-existent.

Tired and sluggish second half performance. Should have scored a couple in the first half and had this match in our hands heading into the second half though. Still a decent result on the face of it though. Unbeaten run continues.

First time of the season I felt we deserved more than what we got.

Frustrating game. Typical away from home Christmas period fixture in a way. Should have put it to bed in the first half.

Should have had the match won by half time. Instead we found ourselves on the back foot for most of the second half with it still at 0 - 0.

A game of 2 halves. We should have this buried by HT.

Ref was shocking, that shocking challenge on Carrick should have been a red. However, we got away with the Rooney foul on Kane as well.

Our passing and composure is still shite when being pressed hard.

Second half was just pathetic from us. Possibly fatigue kicking in.

No excuses for all those chances wasted, now I know how Liverpool felt when they faced us. Lloris did damn good.

Wasted chances. First half great, second half was sunday league stuff, so scrappy.

God knows what this lot will be like against Stoke because they looked very tired.

When Liverpool are smashing these cnuts 4-0, it's never acceptable to accept a draw here.

We're 5 points ahead of fourth place, 6 behind Arsenal, having played a game more than everyone. We've been dragged back into the fight for fourth place when we should really be talking about consolidating third place.

Really poor finishing throughout and in the second half we looked very tired. I can't believe we didn't go on to win that even in the second half we had clear chances. Frustrating and two points dropped.

Throw away that many chances and expect to win? No chance. Finishing was poor. We can't feel hard done by. We had loads of chances to put that game to bed, in the end we didn't even score one. We're supposed to have world class strikers, they didn't play like it today. Diego Costa or Aguero on the end of even one of those chances...

Unimpressed.

PS) Still having a mare at the back. McNair looked like he'd seen a ghost and Evans wasn't much better either.

Should be beating average teams away from home.

So that's Sunderland, Burnley, west Brom, Leicester, Villa and Spurs all games we should be winning really. Yes, Spurs are shite.

Watch Chelsea destroy them.
