And in the first game we weren't looking immobile and lacking pace. In fact we dominated, created chances and should have scored more than four. Nothing worrying about today. The first half is standard for us at Stamford Bridge and yet we came away with a point while boosting confidence following a last minute equaliser.

Fantastic point. Deserved all 3 obvs but can’t have everything
Hoping for a bit more luck at WHL against them or in the cups…

We were outplayed so couldn’t get any rhythm to our play. I fear any team prepared to really go at us will have similar success. Though Chelsea do have great players which most clubs don’t.

We're not going to be rolling teams over or at our best every single game. Very few clubs actually do that. City win most, but also have off days. Liverpool drew last week. It's not a video game where you win every match. It won't happen. As long as we gain points when not at our best while winning well when we do I'll be happy.

I thought he was very good. Agree about the price tag though.

Absolutely shit show of a performance. Seeing in the car moments people loving Tuchel? The dude lost it way before his team did. Running down the line when they scored the second. Losing it with Conte when we equalised. But he’s great. Lost his mind.

We were losing out on second balls largely due to the tactical set up - not some nebulous lack of desire. PEH and Bentancur were constantly surrounded by three or four players. We won plenty of 50/50 balls, but lost them to the press right after. They pressed high to win it back and if they didn't they retreated far enough to let dier/romero/davies have the ball with no outlet pass. We kicked it long and lost it. Son tried to drop into the hole to make space for Sess, but we just weren't clean enough with the final ball. Our forwards were clearly trying to back in, but Silva and Koulibaly were just better. It happens. Again, most teams we play won't be able to bully Kane and Kulu like those two did today. Chelsea pressed well and we weren't clean enough on the ball to play through it. We were certainly fortunate to get the draw based on the two goals we scored, but we created just as many decent chances as they did. Mendy made more saves than Lloris. I don't think the call on Romero was that bad. VAR looked at it and let it go. They both had arms and hands all over each other. Our players didn't have a great half, but Conte put them into a position to fail. He recognized it and swapped it after 55 mins with the formation swap. Maybe the plan was always to keep it tight and then try to be expansive towards the end. I don't know. Perisic would have been just as overrun as Sess was. Perisic will provide a nice attacking spark, but he will probably still be behind Sess in games where we plan on sitting in and frustrating.

We were playing a very good team playing as good as they can, they played out of their skins today, that's how much it meant to them. You shouldn't worry if we didn't look our best all over but we didn't go under we matched them in the end and came out level.

Unlike Germans to force their cultural and societal norms on foreigners through acts of naked rage and violence…

Apart from completely cutting Deki out of the game while constantly providing an attacking threat? Yeah… can’t think of anything he showed…

We've really caused them pain today haven't we? I posted before the game this is the game they most hate to lose, they drew but it feels like a loss to them.I'm fucking amazed those neanderthal's know what the internet is. ****s. Let's start a petition to get Taylor in next years honours list.
Thousands sign petition calling for Anthony Taylor to be banned from refereeing Chelsea
Thousands sign petition to ban Anthony Taylor from refereeing Chelsea matches
Chelsea fans were left livid after they believed that both Tottenham goals in Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge should have been disallowed by the officialswww.mirror.co.uk
At the time of writing some 16,000 people have signed the change.org petition, which alleges that: "Anthony Taylor has continued to make big decisions against Chelsea over the years in big matches.
"Taylor has an agenda against Chelsea and should not be allowed to referee a game involving the club again."
Just lap up those salty tears ???

I was dreading this game. Expected another uninspired performance and a loss. Well, we didn't lose. I'll take it. Baby steps. The entire club, save Conte and his staff and Romero, seems to start sobbing internally at the prospect of this game, and after the last 20 or 30 years it's no wonder.
It'll take a while to throw that monkey off our back completely.

There’s no point jumping to conclusions about the season based on this game. Early on in 16/17 Conte’s chelsea were comprehensively outplayed (and beaten) by Liverpool and Arsenal in consecutive games. They - of course - went on to win the league.
They outplayed us today but couldn’t see the game out. We hung on by our fingernails and managed to get something out of the game. That’s a very good sign. Luck was on our side today. We need to make sure that next time we don’t need luck.

It’s hard playing on the back foot. 50/50 balls always seem to break the way of the positive team. We didn’t carry any threat so Chelsea carried on pushing up heavily. They got a bit worried they were only 1 up but that’s probably because they don’t have a great forward.
What worries me is that we are quite easy to work out and play through a midfield 2. And we don’t adapt. We are so rigid in our play that if we are getting the runaround we have no answers. That’s on Conte. We could have been out of the game by half time.

The only place we matched them was in the scoreline, but there was no other place we managed it.
Same sh*t different season. That 'performance' was an utter disgrace, and I'm afraid not one of our players comes out of it with any credit as far as I'm concerned. It was back to the worst days of Nuno.
I was that angry, I didn't even celebrate either of our goals. That's not what I want to see from my club. Not ever.
From a performance point of view, we couldn't get the ball off them throughout the entire match and they took it off us whenever they liked and that just about says it all. They were many levels above us, all of them. We looked shagged out and they were running all over the pitch as if they were on something (hmm...)
Do I regret taking a point off them? Absolutely not, but do I think we deserved anything from that shambles, same answer.
Oh yes, and Tuchel really is an arsehole of a man. I had respect for him previously for what he did with Dortmund...but not any more. Conte tried to shake his hand after the match, which after their half time shenanigans was probably the right thing to do, and he refused to release his hand and jerked it backwards like the worthless little **** that he really is. How both of them got red carded is anyone's guess.
Then he starts whingeing about our two goals mwa mwa mwa mwa mwa you liitle gobshyte.
Finally, these last two games, Kane, Son and Kulu have been totally 'MIA' and that has to stop immediately. Wolves, you have been warned!
