Thst was a very high quality game. I still think if front three were on form we would have won that.
Don’t take anything away from the chelsea backline though, they were superb.
Don’t think either side deserved to lose today, those midfields are excellent.
Chelsea will win the Europa.. might as well bung on a few quid on that now.
Chelsea are solid and frustrated the life out of us
We are yet to play well this season in my opinion
Spurs and PSG were both professional performances but last season we blew away 20 odd sides and were yet to see that this season

Yeah we haven't been great. But to play $hite away at one of our closest rivals and get a point is quite encouraging. Bring on City.
I used to hate Chelsea. Mourinho made me hate them. Some of their players had attitudes but Sarri is a top manager in my opinion. No big ego’s anymore and they play great football
We were wasteful but they played really well tonight. Great game and I think they will challenge this season
We have sorted our defence out but our forward live are wasteful. I hope we step it up against city next week
Well done Chelsea great game
Chelsea provided a good test both in the Cup and tonight. Really thought they would be struggling with a new manager and Europa League football but they’ve coped well and have potential to challenge for the league. Played some good stuff unlike other big clubs.
Chelsea look a quality side. Definitely think they will challenge all the way but the lack of a really quality striker may kill them. Giroud is so so, good some games, good hold up play but doesn’t score enough. O
Morata looks hopeless
Chelsea still have their players from titles winning seasons. Conte won the league in one season with the same players. People are underrating Chelsea this season.
I did miss the West Ham game yes

I said before the start of the season that i fancy Liverpool to win the league as think city will suffer from that 2nd season complacency / hangover and concentrate more on CL whereas Liverpool are so hungry for it, but i did point out that 16/1 for us to win the league was absolutely ridiculous and we could make a complete mockery of that.
So far so good for us, and if we win next week and you and city draw we're all level, main problem as Neo alluded to for us is our lack of a striker, giroud is hit and miss / inconsistent and morata is consistently $hit, if we are close going into January and bought someone like vardy/dzeko then we could go close. But we'll see
Anyway good games lads both of them, felt a draw was fair today, was in awe of you and city last season even you guys under Brendan the way you play, feels nice to be joining you both at that beautiful football table!
I had Chelsea down as dark horses for this season.
Certainly the easiest on the eye team they've had since the Russian gangster opened his wallet. That midfield they have is absolute quality. Kovacic is on loan, they should push the boat out to make it permanent. Fantastic footballer.
Great ending to the game. We looked the more dangerous side and deserved a draw.
City are still massive favourites for me. However we have taken some Daddy steps already this season.

Sarri must know that he needs another striker - he’ll definitely get one as well.

Problem is just lack of availability though especially in January, and we're not prepared to over pay anymore
Vardy will definitely be available
What a great game. A point is a fair result. Cracking watch. Also so nice to hear post match comments that are respectful and honest. No mind games no negativity just playing great attacking fast football. Chelsea are well in the hunt for the PL.
I thiught Liverpool's style would have been one of the biggest tests for Chelsea with their new style under Sarri. Two consecutive and they've won one, drawn one.
Yet to see how consistent they'll be but you probably need to count Chelsea as challengers now along with City and Liverpool.
Great game to watch. Particularly happy to see my team playing attractive football so quickly under Sarri.
Pool are excellent and I still expect them and City to end up the top 2 and the end of the season.
I think Vardy will be a very good player die Chelsea of they can but him next season. He is a natural finisher who is not only a pace merchant.

Unlike City, Chelsea actually adapted their system and conceded possession. They had players behind the ball and played on the counter. Sign of good management. We'll see what City do next week.
Like Sarri, their football can be a bit boring at times though lots of possession slow and little penetration. Hazard is the the guy they still look to and if its not him its usually their left back. Be interesting if Morata starts to show why he cost what he did or if they back Sarri whos clearly bought well too and get in some more quality. Still quality footy at times though and solid partnership forming at the back it seems too.

Means jack..
How many more years or chances will he have to play at a top club?
The four year contract protects leicester, fair enough. Chelsea will have to knock on the door quite hard but he’d go eventually.

Superb game, hats off to Sarri
