      Missed opportunity. In many ways, it's an easy remit for Chelsea once they go down to 10 men. Just put all behind the ball and strangle. That's what top level sides can do - they know how to see through that 1 point.

      Maybe in hindsight lacked a bit of creativity. Some will bemoan not having Thiago on earlier and Keita as well but hey ho. A point is a point. At 1-0 maybe some of us would have taken that.

      Been nice to have a game changer to come off the bench. Second half was sh*t. Elliott had a pretty good game but would have had Ox on for him in after about 75 minutes or so. Chelsea resorted to Burnley defending and Italian national team diving and we had no answer. 2 points lost for me. That should have been a win all day.

      Big positive has to be how VVD and Matip handled Lukaku throughout. Proper masterclass.

      We tried but that's about it. Chelsea is either that good on defense or something stinks with our offense. We'd have lost 11 vs 11. Chelsea is for real.

      For about a year and half. He finished the season strong, but outside the last month he's been bad for a while now. He has one move with the ball, and everyone knows it. Went to ground all damn day. If youre a man, you ought to be embarrassed to fall that often. Needs to be better.

      All in all not bad day. Yes we played a q0 man side for 45, but they parked the bus, and they're a damn good defensive side under Tuchel

      One other thing is for certain, WHY THE F**k do we not have a traditional number 9 if we are so determined to play a style that would cater to one perfectly… the amount of points we must have lost the last couple of years not having someone to bury them is incredible.

      2 points thrown away, very slow movement thought we gave the ball away far to often and Mane, Robertson, Henderson and Arnold were below average, thought Elliot hade another good game mom for me

      Poor 2nd half - apart from the first 10 mins, we died and laboured for the rest.
      Real shame not to capitalize on the extra man, at home. If I was them, would be delighted.
      Trying to thread thro the eye of the needle, no space there thro the middle, Chelsea defended well.
      We had a couple of long range shots from VVD and Fab that nearly scored - then, no more shots - why the F**k not!!! Mendy looked a little shaky, but we didn't put him under any real pressure.
      For most of the 2nd half we looked like the side that struggled at home last season, people taking the ball standing, poor deliveries, over-complication.

      On the plus side, Elliot was bright. And we didn't loose.

      Still, disappointing. Chance to take points off a challenger and missed out.

      I predicted 1-1, 3 perfect predicted results but I really feel frustrated and sad for this. Mendy kept them in the game.

      Pick the point and move on.

      Mane - last season form, so far.
      Mo - That lame shot on goal was potential winner if he hit it correctly.
      Robbo - defended fine, just not his best in attacking, and his corner kicks.

      Still, a point, and we move on.

      Chelsea are a threat this year, friggin hate them.

      Going to Anfield and down to 10 men you'd think they will be right up there at the end of the season. Defo penalty but not sure on the red as it didn't come straight of his hand. Seen them given and not.

      Mane needs a serious kick up the backside that level of performance is not acceptable if we want to win the PL.

      Jota was also poor but still a better option up top than Bobby.

      I feel we might regret not signing an attacking player. Are we the only club in the PL without an actual striker?
