Think it was a decent performance and we were unfortunate not to get a better result.
Pressed well second half and definitely looked the more likely to win. Lloris pulled off a cracking save from Olsson, but he should've put it away.
Evans showed what a good signing he's been by slotting into midfield seamlessly. I think his mobility was a big part of us pressing so well second half. Given Pulis' record for liking a big bloke in the middle, I could imagine him using Evans there again, especially if a new centre half arrives in January (Fazio as part of the Saido deal, perhaps).
Rondon actually looked like the guy I remember from Malaga. Fast, strong and linked up really well. Probably should've scored from the Gardner cross but his anticipation wasn't up to par, but definitely positive signs he's getting back to his best.
Positive signs and I think we can give anyone a decent game at home.
