That’s one of way of looking at it, but in truth it was a great game between two very good sides, both however bring inferior to the inevitable PL winner but miles and miles ahead of the rest.
The first 45 minutes were the best I remember in recent times, absolute chaos, all in war mode.
Chelsea are different with Kante and Kovacic but we have a lot of difficulties scoring goals.
Pulisic, Havertz, Werner, CHO, Ziyech all together don't score a number of goals worthy of a quality striker.
And without Chilwell and James things got worse, but the attitude was good overall, plenty of mistakes on both sides and a somewhat fair draw.
Because on one side are Salah and Mané and on the other Pulisic and Havertz.

Tuchel's PSG was nothing like his Chelsea, especially the intensity and cohesion. Ralf is a quality manager. What we need is to drop the big name who can't or refuse to run, nor can trap a ball and pass properly. Tuchel dropped Lukaku for a reason. And buy a better defensive midfielder.
I still can’t believe Benitez hasn’t been sacked yet. He’s completely finished as a manager.
If they're mediocre, feck knows what that makes us
Some people lack humour.
Oh, i'm not arguing at all but as a United fan i hope we get good players and maybe Alvarez will be an asset.
Anything concrete?
Neville 
Nah, he straight legged it, it could've gone anywhere.
Scholes meant every Inch of it.
Still a great finish though.

Sunday 2pm kick offs are something we are still getting used to but it wasn't the worst it's been although not on the same level of noise as the night time games vs Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and City....
Phil Jones - a decade of destruction.
I remember very clearly when he was a talented kid coming out of Blackburn. I was very jealous when he ended up at United. Did not foresee the absolute meme he wound up becoming.
If he’d played longer under SAF he would’ve probably been a decent CB. His prime years came during a very uncertain period for United.
United will probably win this simply because they have better players. Wolves have had the better of it but no goal scoring threat. Traore hasn’t even scored this season.
Must be weird being a United fan currently. At least we are shit enough to make you really angry. United are even boring at being shit.
Deserved for Wolves but how did Fernandes miss that chance?
Phil Jones has been great, considering.
What a disastrous season for United.
Especially when you consider the expectation at the start of the season. They were supposed to challenge for the title.
Yeah I thought they’d comfortably get a CL spot but the money spent on Ronaldo should have been spent on a better midfield. They’ve regressed so much since last season.
On paper, last season's squad plus Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo, a title challenge wasn't crazy.
I think signing Ronaldo completely disrupted what Solskjaer had got going last season. Sancho, Varane and a midfielder would’ve been the right move.
Welcome United to the your season is so shit that all you have left is to laugh at other teams being shit club.
It's a strange one, if Ronaldo had gone to Man City and Man United had got someone else in, who knows what the table would look like.
No slight on Ronaldo by the way, just the right man at the wrong time I feel.
I was really expecting him to be the worst player on the pitch and dead after 60mins considering how long he's been out but he was just a strong "meh".
Careful now. Imagine if Ronaldo clicks with this machine-like team at City, if Pep finds a way to utilize him at his best... scary thought.
Unless Pep can give him the Benjamin Button treatment, he's not getting Ronaldo "at his best".
What do United fans think of Sancho? He was amazing for Dortmund, but currently looks like a worst version of Pepe.
He's about to do an interview with Sky.de about how he still loves Dortmund very very much.
I really don’t get his (non-)development at United. He looked like the surest thing at Dortmund. Not In the Kagawa/Mikhi but the KdB/Lewy mold.
Edit: i would still take him in a heartbeat for my club.
We can't really judge him until we've got some effective system of play.
The fear is that won't be until next season now.
And no manager is going to come in an instantly get it right so could be any timeframe.
All a mess really.
Lots of outbreaks recently.
Tuchel came in and sorted Lampard’s mess in a week.
City are even timing their covid outbreaks well
Absolutely love the Christmas fixtures. What a great time of the year. So excited for club football to resume. So glad that we don't take a break during that time like other leagues. It's what makes the Premier league so special. I can't imagine not being able to watch football during that time. Something would be missing big time. Like Old Trafford singing The 12 days of Cantona.
Anyone else excited? And what do you love most during that time?
