It was when he started tinkering that we fell apart and had to look for inspiration from the young goalkeeper.
Chris Hughton: "He (Tim Krul) was certainly busier than what we would have liked him to be but I thought he was excellent.
"In particular I thought two saves that he made were absolutely top class.
"We've always been aware he's a talented young goalkeeper.
"We always knew it was going to be very tough.
"For us to come here and get a draw, it's a good point.
"Joey (Barton) was part of the squad that travelled with us. There are decisions that have to be made, my decision was to go with two big lads up front for tactical reasons.
"He took the decision same as everybody, everybody wants to play.
"He was disappointed but that's the decision I made."
