Not good enough, we need to win these games. Zieyech-Pulisic, these two should not be on the pitch. Really lazy playing again. Christensen was good again. 

That result is no good to us, not with Liverpool up next. 

Baffled by playing a period without a recognised centre forward on the pitch, we're finding goals from open play hard enough to come by, let alone without a striker on the pitch.

Yet he keeps keeping clean sheets.

Yeah fair point. But do you think he's a top class keeper?

At least we never lost.

Don't get this, why? He's not done one thing in his Chelsea career to suggest this. 

Because if you look at his career as a whole he can score as well as assist more than Pulisic ever could, he would have been far more effective as the False 9 considering he played that position at times for Leverkusen.

CHO?

If I'm being serious its between AC, CHO or kante but the match has bored me so much I'm thinking voting for Ziyech and hope for some outrage as people try to figure out who....guess I ruined it for myself there but oh well

Christensen motm by some distance. 

We huffed and puffed but ultimately never really looked like being a winner

Defence and midfield cancelled each other out 

Kante made two important interceptions

Christensen continues to have a renaissance under Tuchel

We just don't look dangerous enough in the penalty area, Ziyech should have buried his chance

A case of keeping our point but didn't do enough to get the three, this may ultimately cost us in our quest for top four

Honestly? Yes.

It’s good that we haven’t lost but I can’t help feeling really disappointed. United team were there for the taking and we couldn’t attack. It’s the same every single f*cking time we face United. Does my head in.

There were mutilple times where we had their midfield beating and their shape was all over the place, a good team scores from those situations, but we f**ked up our touch, pass or shot every single time. Our attacking game is the worst I can remember ever seeing it at this point. Torres wouldn't look out of place in this team.

Thank f*ck for Kante.

Atleast we didn't lose. A positive. 

We attack with literally no numbers, we could of played for 300 minutes today and there was no chance we were scoring. Under tuchel whilst we are more solid, we rely on getting that one goal in the game, and if it doesnt come, this is the result

Another top 6 bore draw. It’s obvious Tickle is a superior manager and the best since Conte but it’s almost the identical performance of all the other bore draws vs the other  big heads in the last 3 seasons or so. A point against a mediocre United side at home is it good enough ? maybe not but I’ll take it. As long as Marina signs the players can’t see us getting to City’s level anytime soon even with Tickles superior man management and tactics  but think the Top 4 is still on. it’s 3 wins and 3 draws in the prem for Tickle not so brilliant but better than before at least. 

More turgid football to finish off the week.

Can't recall a CFC team ever looking so unlikely to score. Just can't see where goals are going to come from.  Best we can hope for against the dippers on Thursday is another 0-0 as can't see us scoring. Wonder if we could go the remainder of the season with every game being 0-0.........................?

Not a great performance but we did have better chances. Can't help but think that a top class striker would have finished at least one or created something out of nothing.

Seems like we have returned to Sarriball.

Happy with the draw. Work in progress. At least we maintained some semblance of order, did not run like headless chickens and actually tried something pre-planned. Better accuracy at passing  and better execution of corner and free kicks, and we would get 3 points.  Quite like us with TT in charge.

If we are 6 or less points behind Leicester after Thursday we should be in with a decent chance. We have them at the Bridge and they have just lost Barnes & Maddison to injuries which is a blow to them.

He could do better with some of the shots but for the most part we've been so solid defensively with him in goal and that cannot be a coincidence, you can never have a great defense without a keeper they have confidence in.

Christensen shut down Greenwood and Martial today. Kante kept Bruno shackled. 

We kept the Utd counter to a minimum. 

If we had better finishers, we'd have won that game.

I am expecting a tight game that either ends 1-0 to either side or 0-0

Only way the back 3 changes is if Silva is fit. Otherwise everyone bar Mount and Werner could be changed out. Though I feel TT will approach this game like Wolves, must not lose.

He did and the 0-0 is not a shock. United play for it against rival sides and we were happy to let them have it.

Disappointing but not surprising. Our players are not goof enough to break them down.

The thing is that it doesn’t matter who was in. It could have been Havertz on and five minutes in we would be saying it should have been Pulisic. This team has no soul, no matter who plays. That’s the issue we need to solve.

Not sure how I feel after that game, but I feel like expecting 3 points here is too much for this side right now. 

I feel the same way. I came into the game looking for three points but it just didn’t look like it was going to happen as the game went so sadly just settled for the draw. Felt like both managers played a safe game. 

Tight game could of gone either way really. Ziyech and Giroud will be disappointed to have not scored their chances. Slightly disappointed with a draw but if we can beat Liverpool it’ll be a good return from these two matches.

This comment sums up Tuchel's Chelsea so far. 

Tbf I think you're overly negative, and that's coming from me.
