We don’t score against big teams, we are Lukaku United.

Result was good enough but performance was dog shit. It's not good enough that this is our default performance/result against any big team.

Midfield was a joke. Bruno, Fred, McTominay. All terrible.

I'd be surprised if McTominay had over 50% passing success.

Ref was a joke. Gave Chelsea everything. At least we’re still 6 clear of them. Gutted because we should have won today but I felt ole went too defensive. Was happy with the draw

From open play this season:

Chelsea - 0 goals (H & A)
City - 0 goals (H)
Arsenal - 0 goals (H & A)
Spurs - 0 goals (H)
Liverpool - 0 goals (A)

Scholes talking about lack of ambition from us this season. Hard to disagree.

Michael Owen talking about these games being a wasted opportunity to instill winning edge in the team. Hard to disagree.

Thought we were the better team today but there wasn’t much in it. We lacked quality up front and have become a bit dull to watch lately.

:boring::boring: midfield is the reason we didn't do more. McTominay and Fred were way too defensive today, while also being terrible on the ball. Draw is an alright result, but just not enough quality on the ball from the midfielders. Chelsea also had loads of defenders in there and played incredibly cautious... but still.

Another big game we look happy to take a draw from. Not particularly happy. Like most this season — opposition was there for the taking.

That last counter at the end of the game sums us up. Get to where we need to, but don’t know what to do when we get there.

Saved us the draw though, Chelsea looked scared shitless after that attack.

Horrendous officiating as well

Attacking quality has dropped badly. But really we were robbed of a penalty today, doesn’t mean we would have won but getting one of these marginal decisions for once would be really nice.

Happy with the result and thought we were unlucky to be fair, our final ball was a constant let down. Really annoying.

We'll never compete against the likes of City over a season with this type of midfield. When Bruno isn't on it, we literally have 0 creativity. That pass McTominay at the end ruining a clear counter epitomised perfectly our current limits

I thought we worked our socks off. Just didnt create enough to deserve the win. Chelsea played some good stuff at times but also created little.
was a clear penalty for handball.

Shocking performance, poor passing, poor decision making, not enough urgency, set pieces atrocious, only players come out of that with any credit are Maguire and Lindelof for me, the rest all average or poor.

Our forward line need some serious coaching, zero chemistry for a long time now.

Pathetic. Just like every big game this season. No cutting edge. No desire to go for a late winner as we pass it around the back. Bruno chokes another big game, couldn't complete a simple pass to the wing today.

Sub on the laziest twat alive for our only competent forward today. Just amazing stuff from everyone involved

Utter dogfest of a game, we lack creativity so much and someone to finis a half chance.

It’s certainly not something to be celebrated but nowhere near as bad as the reaction will be on here. These results will help us get top 4

Cowardly display again. Anyone who seriously thinks we will be competing for anything meaningful with a midfield consisting of Fred and mctominey need to give there heads a wobble.

Shit. Bored of the penalty talk. It wasn’t like he was blocking a chance, we’d have just got really lucky to win one in that way.

Zero belief we're even getting a goal in these matches. The only change we make is a gratuitously out of form Martial...

I enjoyed it. Pretty even. A few ragged spells and, again, quality and leadership in CM was lacking. Not too disappointed.

Really really hope the rumours aren’t true and we are after our central midfielder this summer. There’s absolutely zero creative onus in there without Pogba and he’s definitely going.
