We're still a new team in a new league, they're getting to know each other and and adapting, so there's bound to be mistakes. If they keep the effort up once they've fully adjusted, we'll be in for a very special season!

What a team performance that was, competed with the best team in Europe for the entire game. Switched off a couple of times and got punished for it but the absolute fight in this team is unbelievable!

So proud of this team, properly play for the shirt!

Not too unhappy with a point after that terrible first half hour where we were all over the shop but the improvement after that was very impressive.

Could have won it with Mukiele's header but didn't really create that much otherwise and fourth after 10 games, can't complain!

Unbelievable all-round performance from the lads, defended great and always looked a threat on the break.

Not getting carried away with us being second but we absolutely look like a proper Premier League side and not a newly promoted one.

Just how RLB likes to play, the second goal didn't come in the first half so he gets us to settle in and make sure we get a clean sheet. Think that'll bite us at times but worked like a charm today, so happy times.

We were a little too passive for a lot of the second half but we were superb again defensively and that was a very professional performance.

Mukiele might be the bargain of the season!

Wouldn't say we were overawed or owt, just not in their faces like we should have been. Gave ourselves a mountain to climb

Thought we showed them too much respect in the first half hour or so and by that time the game was all but won. Just didn't get at them with pace and build up was too slow.

Recovered OK and showed better signs but can't start that slow, you'll just get punished.

Another brilliant performance by the lads, gave everything once again and although Roefs had a great game, we could still have scored more ourselves.

Class that we're third but I'd also like to remind everyone of this stat. #SAFC

Can see the new players gelling more and more, they've been playing well individually but getting better as a team.

A little bit too frantic at times but understandable due to the man advantage they had, we win that without the red.

That was our best overall display of the season, we were the better team before the red but the effort following it was absolutely tremendous. The fight and desire from everyone was unbelievable.

Keep that up and we'll be more than safe.

Hopefully we get to find out with us but I bet there are already clubs sniffing!

He's been an unbelievable find, he's more than a step up on Patto. That high ball he came for in the second half, Patto would be on the line waiting to react to whatever happened.

A great point and performance on the road to a really good team, more than matched them for 80 minutes and once we had settled for a point we defended resolutely, although got a little ropey at times near the end but thankfully the Roefs was on fire.
