Wolves 0-0 Chelsea: Verdict Thread

The Bear · Dec 19, 2021

A good result considering the opposition. We were great in the first half but Chelsea adjusted and dominated possession after the break. Had to do a lot of defending late on.

Pod played well for a long period of the game, roaming around behind Raul. All our best play went though him and he's my MOTM. Was a bit unlucky to get hooked tbh.

If I had to summarize the game, I guess the tall and short of it would be coads and pod

I don't know what we should do about Raul.

That second half was weirdly the most encouraging version of "just defend for 45 minutes" I could imagine. Watching us defend, I just never feel concerned anymore. Obviously we have to concede again at some point, but we just do so many things well on that side of the ball. It's absolutely brilliant.

Bang average second half as chelsea upped their game. Deserved a point at least and could have had three. Also needed some good keeping and challenges from Saiss and Coady so a point is about right . Another clean sheet

Coady MOTM. He was absolutely brilliant. That sliding tackle on Mount in the first half was majestic.

AndyWolves · Dec 19, 2021

Really happy with that point. We could have won it.

Raul is playing like he's stoned at the moment, concerning

What's the record for fewest goals scored and conceded by the same team in a season? We might beat it.

And that block in the last few seconds.

I know a group of guys who only lift weights when they're absolutely blazed. Total weirdos but they look three times as athletic high as Raul just did.

Really wish I was astute enough to know how to solve the issue there.

Cold. Not much else to say

HanDoJin · Dec 19, 2021

"Utterly depleted" Chelsea bring on a 45m midfielder from last seasons Spanish champions. Someone they haven't been arsed about playing to this point. And he absolutely changed the game.

WsWolf · Dec 19, 2021

Freezing cold, against a side who had no real attacking reinforcements and we are sitting in hanging on for a point from about 65 minutes. Fair enough we got a 0-0 but I go and watch to be entertained and that wasn't anything like entertaining bar a 15 minute spell in the first half.

You don't enjoy defensive excellence?

Tom Hark · Dec 19, 2021

Happy with that, in the circumstances. Hopefully next season we'll be more competitive in/winning these sorts of games, but for now credit to Bruno for getting the most out of what he's been given. Tuchel should be ashamed of himself, crying about his 'weakened' team.

At the expense of actually attempting to win a game, no.

Like going to a cinema to watch a documentary, interesting but it's not really what you go for.

So if we'd lost but valiantly, you would have liked it better ?

100%

If a pair of headers had each been a foot to the left we'd be looking at 4 points against 2 teams with absurd advantages over virtually the entire continent

Tredman · Dec 19, 2021

Or watching a team you don’t support and think eternally boring

AndyWolves · Dec 19, 2021

I don't think we decided to not attack, it was kind of forced upon us by how Chelsea played
