Good effort lads, we looked what we are a out of form disjointed team against a well organised , well drilled team. 

A point is better than most were predicting earlier. 

 

'Tis the season to be useless

And December is not over yet

We will drop points over Christmas

I'm so sure I'll make a bet.

Eh. Draw was the best outcome we were likely to get at the moment.

This is the worst attacking Chelsea team I have ever seen, I can't even see where our next win comes from. 

Not sure what else to expect, loads missing, and the ones playing are extremely fatigued or coming back from injury. 

Played alright 2nd half all things considered. Decent point. 

How it didnt get cancelled is a crime. 

The perfect end to a sh*ttty weekend. A 0-0 superspreader event that should have been called off. I have the feeling that omicron is the real winner today. 

Wasn't expecting much from this game considering we have no striker. 0-0 isn't a bad result in the scope of things. A clean sheet is a positive too. Our focus from now should be cementing a top 4 spot and go for the CL and or a domestic Cup. 

kante looked like our most attacking threat that says it all doesn't it 

hope he didn't hurt himself in that last attack

just realised Spurs have 4 games in hand on us - they'll never win them all but if they did they'd be just 1 point behind us

Bit harsh considering the circumstances dont you think? Wolves have been a tough nut to crack for Liverpool and City. Is it any surprise we struggled to create openings with such a patched up side? When everyone is fit the attack okay, not title winning, but its still functional. 

Only positive today is Kante and Kova is on the way back. 

We need huge determination and self-belief to get out of this funk

Clean sheet at last

Title challenge has now gone, securing a top four now has to the aim

We at times play like strangers in the final third…toothless but with nothing to feed on

Kante played well considering his spell out

Remember the days when we took shots from the edge of the area?

Covid and injuries have decimated us, but that side was reasonably balanced …all full internationals. In these times we need to plan better and move viable youth players into the squad to prepare for any eventuality

Everyone is entitled to be bad occasionally, it’s the Overrated bit that gnarls my gears….?

And wolves are a good defending side to be fair to them, Liverpool got lucky in 96th minute against them 

Its strange that we either recruit players with bad finishing skills or the players who are good suddenly forget how to score. Actually would've been surprised had Pulisic scored that chance.

The only thing i enjoyed this game was watching Thiago Silva play

and to think he is playing every 3 days at his age

class

How this game didn’t get canceled is beyond me.. greed keeps it going I guess. How many of the people who make these decisions come to the ground?? All they are interested in is money -

on the performance can’t blame the players that much . But I think we are firmly contesting for 3rd 4th now.. our players aren’t consistent enough to win a league. Too many passengers and our tactics of playing 3 at the back though understandable - means we will never be a very attacking side

But hated the fact how every ball b4 moving forward is passed 10 times between the pivot and the back 3

Game should have never went ahead in the first place. We’ll be ok once we get the attacking players back definitely need to get rid of some dead wood and bring in a creative midfielder though.

Man I am going to miss Silva when he goes. What a player.

There is nothing to analyze, half fit Kante was our best player because he is freaking kante.

I really can't criticize anybody maybe Ziyech,he was anonymous but I am not sure about his fitness. Other than that,there is nothing.

It's the lack of any attacking nous or instinct from so-called forwards that astounds me ...

Anyway some positives to take away : 

• We got a point
• First clean sheet since Juve game.
• Kante was back and it was normal service resumed. 
• Kovacic finally back, and got 30 minutes under his belt.
• Saul played 45 minutes and did relatively well
• Thiago Silva was his usual superb self

Exactly. Now its just get it out wide and pump in useless crosses to small players competiting against giant defenders hoping someday someone will actually score one. Our players are scared of looking stupid pumping it in row Z. Loved the way Lamps always tried and was never afraid of looking bad.

We already have 2 good quality ones in Hvertz and Mount if we play that system. Ok this system we need better wingbacks .. no wonder the moment we lost chilwell the entire system has collapsed.

TT needs to move away from this 3 at the back .. almost every possession forward Alonso has a touch but he can’t create anything..  we need to stop relying on such limited players for an attacking threat.

Sometimes mate I think it's just about being realistic. I'd missed the last few game so I had to go by highlights and general consensus. I knew we'd been bad recently I I think we would be this bad. 70 mins before a shot on target is bad even against a 5atb with no traditional striker on our team. The constant crossing confuses me considering none of our forwards are tall strange game plan.

Sure. I guess I think the prospect that this is a poor run which we will bounce back from and see much better football in the remainder of the season is very much within the boundaries of realism.
