A good point and clean sheet, with some close chances but definitely a positive result considering the opposition.

Can't help but feel that defensive performance will do wonders for us going into the Fulham game.

Defensively that was excellent today and we definitely had the best chances. Both keepers were excellent

Decent performance.

Bit unlucky.

Point closer to safety.

Very good performance by us, no complaints whatsoever.

Chelsea dominated in general but we had the best chances.

Our defensive effort coped very well with their the amount the possession that they had.

Deservedly...probably the best 10 performance from anyone this season. For us that is. So much quality. that chip off the bar a thing of beauty, clever, intelligent passing...unlucky not to have 3/4 goals over the last 3 weeks and 4/5 assists ..

Thought the pair of them did well today. Chelsea didn't really trouble us at the set piece though!

Not sure who our source broadcaster is here, but Roberts given MoM - deserved it too.

Chuffed to bits with that. The desire, the commitment, the aggression, we needed all those things on point today to compete with a resurgent Chelski and we got it in abundance. We may have drew a blank but that feels like a win for me. The lads put every last ounce into that performance and deserved something from the game. We all know how cruel it can be at times and to come away with no points would have killed the lads today. They can now use that as a springboard for the rest of the season.
