The Premier League's red-blue draw ended in a 1-1 draw, with Chelsea winning nine consecutive away games, but the team continued its unbeaten run in 11 away games. Chelsea are still in third place after 30 rounds, but the point difference with Arsenal has become 6 points, and there are still five rounds of the league, which is not a good thing for the team, because the subsequent matches may give up the top three if they lose points again. Alonso took the lead in breaking the deadlock in this game, but Cristiano Ronaldo then equalized, and Havertz lost the key in his recent poor form, so the Blues still have a certain advantage in the away draw.
Chelsea's recent repeated warmth is indeed puzzling, the team lost 1-4 to promoted Mabrentford, this opponent has not won 9 games this season, during which it has suffered 6 consecutive defeats, it is indeed extremely depressed, and after defeating Chelsea, the team has won three consecutive wins, the last 4 games unbeaten. Chelsea also lost 2-4 at home to Arsenal after losing to the weaker team, ending the slump of three consecutive league defeats. After this round of draws with Manchester United, the Red Devils avoided three consecutive defeats, after Manchester United has 0-4 Liverpool, 1-3 defeat to Arsenal, but this round can get 1 point on Chelsea, which also shows that the Blues' recent performance is unstable, especially the low efficiency of the forward players on the offensive end is indeed not a good thing, Tuchel still needs to put some effort into the lineup.
Havertz was single-handedly saved in this game, and De Gea did have a number of key plays, resulting in the failure of the Chelsea strikers. Chelsea shot 21-6 on goal, shot 6-3, corner kicks 9-2, and the Blues hit a post, which was indeed much better than their opponents in terms of statistics. De Gea's 5 saves were crucial on the goalkeeper side, and Mendy had 2 saves, which can be seen that The Manchester United goalkeeper is also the key to helping the team get 1 point.
Chelsea have conceded a relatively high number of goals shortly after scoring goals in recent matches, and this is where the team needs to strengthen. Alonso, who helped Chelsea score in the game, made a threat from the start, he gave the ball to James, whose shot was saved by the goalkeeper. Kante has created several offensive opportunities, and Havertz's single knife ball is the opportunity created by his straight ball, but unfortunately his teammates can't pass De Gea's ten-finger mark.
Ronaldo also had a lot of threats, in the first half of Manchester United's corner kick opportunity, C Ronaldo barb shot deflected, but also for Chelsea to wake up, the defense of set-pieces must be in place. At the end of the half, the connection between B Fei and C Ronaldo was judged to be offside, the former should actually shoot with his feet, it seems that B Fei's self-confidence after missing a penalty in the last game is insufficient, so he will choose to pass the ball to C Ronaldo.
Chelsea's goal was in the 60th minute, James crossed from the right into the box, Havertz rubbed a point to assist Alonso and then scored a goal, James stood up and there was no one around to defend, it seems that United's defense underestimated the threat of James at this point. However, 2 minutes later C Ronaldo broke the goal, from the Blues veteran Matic steals and then passed to the box to assist C Ronaldo burst into the goal, the old will always be able to make a difference against Chelsea, such a moment is indeed a lot, the Blues defense is also problematic.
After conceding the goal, Tuchel sent Lukaku and Pulisic, but the two were not enough threats, but Mount hit the upright with the shot that James had done, which was also the most threatening shot after the team conceded the goal. In terms of player data, C Ronaldo scored 1 goal in 3 shots, 2 passes, 2 times to break the siege, and there were many times in the game, so some people said that C Ronaldo was indeed trying his best, but the limited offensive opportunities obtained were also the main reasons for not being able to score more goals.
Havertz made 5 shots on goal, 2 shots on target, 4 threatening passes and 1 assist, showing that the big man is not a lone wolf, and regretful teammates have missed the opportunity he sent. Werner always fell into the offside trap of the opponent, the threat on the offensive end was indeed too small, he only had 1 shot on goal and the shot was on target, 1 foul, so he was replaced in the 71st minute. Lukaku has only 1 pass and 3 passes since coming off the bench, and he is indeed very depressed against the old owner, and Manchester United fans will be very happy to sell him. Pulisic did not shoot after coming on the field, the opponent attacked and reinforced the defense, and the Blues were less threatening than in the first half.
After the race, many fans lamented that there was no strong forward after Drogba and Costa, and the gap between Lukaku and Costa was also very large, and it was indeed a failure to introduce him again. Werner's previous recovery is also an illusion, and his stay at the end of this season is also a problem, but the player's stay still needs to be finally decided by Tuchel. In fact, the problem that has trapped the team this season is injury, Chilwell has missed more games, James has been injured for a long time, and Kante also has the impact of injury, so the record will be unstable.
Chelsea's subsequent fixtures are against mid-range teams, namely Everton, Wolves, Leeds United, Leicester City and Watford, and how to break the iron barrel formation is also key. Every new coach has more difficulties this season at the Bridge, and if Tuchel can get through the difficulties this season, next season in addition to reinforcements and support, he will have a better grasp of the team.
