    GOAL - Sheffield United 0-1 Chelseapublished at 19:58 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2021

    Mason Mount

    Finally, something incisive!

    It is a really good goal to be fair. Timo Werner is released down the left and his accurate pull-back is finished off neatly into the bottom corner by Mason Mount.

    Most of the Chelsea players run to Werner - the man most in need of the confidence boost.

    That was a nice turn from Jorginho - first time Chelsea have managed to get any real quality in the middle of the field. Sheffield United have dominated that area so far - great turn, ball to Ben Chilwell and Chelsea again managing to get in down that left hand side but a good bit of defending.

    Chelsea starting to dictate this match now. A lot lies in the hands of Jorginho and Matto Kovacic to break Sheffield United's midfield line and get it into the front three.

    There has been some sterling defending from Kean Bryan so far. He scored in the win at Manchester United but missed a lot of last season through injury, having signed from Manchester City in the summer of 2018.

    Chelsea currently clocking in at 78% possession. Have they used that to any decent end?

    Another Chelsea corner, another waste. They take it short, work it along the edge of the box and then sloppily give it away.

    I feel that if there are clear and obvious situations of offside you should raise your flag. That Ben Chilwell one to me seemed clear and obvious.

    Chelsea can't say they haven't had the chance to fashion something. They win their fifth corner of the half, which is swung into the middle but smuggled away under pressure by the home side.

    I think the general feeling is that this is not a huge amount of fun to watch.

    Chelsea try to change that with a move down the left that ends with a Mount effort that is deflected wide.

    The flag is up, though. Chilwell went a fraction early before delivering the low ball into the box.

    Maino_88: Turgid, ponderous football from Chelsea. Christensen and Rudiger too slow. Jorginho so so sloppy (will cost us a goal). Werner’s first touch is not even League 1 quality. Mount AGAIN the only who one ‘read the memo’. I would pay money not to watch this.

    Ewan Gillies: What we have learned from Tuchel after two and a half games is that he doesn't know who his best players are and what is his best system. We do know though, it's not producing goals

    Azpilicueta tries to add a bit of urgency to Chelsea's play. He nips in to win the ball in the United half before setting up Werner for a cross that is cleared. It falls back to the Spaniard, whose cross is headed over by Olivier Giroud.

    Still waiting for a decent game of football to break out here. Too many passes going astray, mixed with unthreatening periods of unproductive possession.

    It seems like the Chelsea centre halves don't know how to play forward unless it's a boot upfield. In contrast Sheffield look like they want to achieve something every time they get the ball…

    Chelsea win another corner but they can't fashion anything from it. The ball remains near the Blades box before Antonio Rudiger belts an effort from range wide of the post.

    I've now live texted on two hours of football today without a goal. I'm beginning to know how Timo Werner feels.

    They've been fairly comfortable, Sheffield United, and they've been brave. They've been prepared to go man for man on that back line. They back themselves to take on that Chelsea strike force.

    Someone have a go!

    Jadon Bogle goes all Lionel Messi on us, weaving through about five men and into the box. But he turns down the chance to shoot and then watches on as his team-mate fail to get a subsequent effort in before Chelsea hack clear.

    Andreas Christensen with a nice driving run forward, but he hesitates on the ball a second too long meaning Werner is offside when the pass comes his way.

    Joe: Baffles me as to how Werner still manages to start in this Chelsea side when others are dropped for seemingly no reason.

    Bresla Stephens: Very slow start by Chelsea. They miss Kante so much in midfield

    It's all a bit tame at the moment. Scrappy.

    Timo Werner is not the player Chelsea felt they were buying up to now. That's something theyll hope for having brought in Thomas Tuchel, that he'll be able to inspire or find the best way to play him.

    He's operayiong in a different positon tonight, like a half number 10 - both him and Mason Mount playing just in the pockets off Olivier Giroud.
