“Totally helpless”: Some Chelsea fans react as dull draw against Man United ensures Tuchel’s unbeaten streak continues

Chelsea fans react as a goalless draw against Manchester United extends Tuchel’s unbeaten streak

Manchester United arrived at Stamford Bridge on Sunday with Chelsea on a great high under new manager Thomas Tuchel. The Blues hadn’t lost a single game since the former PSG manager took charge of the club.

And that run continued once the full-time whistle blew in London. The two giants of English football played out a goalless draw in a game where both sides looked more eager to avoid defeat than to win.

Chelsea made a few changes to the team for the game against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side. Timo Werner dropped out for Hakim Ziyech, but later come on for the Moroccan with 12 minutes left on the clock.

Jorginho and Marcos Alonso were not in the starting XI, while Tammy Abraham did not even make the matchday squad. Nevertheless, the most intense moment of the game came in the first half.

Fans unhappy with performance

Blues winger Callum Hudson-Odoi looked like he handled the ball inside his own box. The incident, involving him and Mason Greenwood, was referred to VAR, but was not adjudged to be a penalty.

Chelsea threw on Christian Pulisic and Timo Werner during the second half but the game did not see a goal from either side. And fans seemed to be frustrated with the result despite the club extending their unbeaten run.

Others were critical of a number of individual performances. But largely, the wastefulness in the opposition box caused the most unrest while the defence was praised as they kept a clean sheet at the other end.
