Another day, another game and another goalless disappointment for Chelsea, who failed to shake off the ghosts of Graham Potter in their 0-0 draw at home to Liverpool on Tuesday. That's now 420 minutes of consecutive football between the two sides without a goal being scored legally.
Other than Potter being a thoroughly nice person without grudges, he may well have allowed himself a rye smile watching this from his home by the sea. Chelsea played more like a Potter team than they ever did under him, for the better and the worse.
They were slick in possession, moving the ball nicely in-between a Liverpool team not too sure of itself. They, on the whole, defended well enough to stop a back-up front line from Jurgen Klopp that was lacking spark rather than toothless, but then they forgot to do the scoring bit.
