Chelsea were held to yet another 0-0 draw by Liverpool on Tuesday in their first match since sacking coach Graham Potter with both sides displaying the same ...
We’re fine with a point, a lot of good stuff. Felix and Kovacic wasted further chances for Chelsea in the second half. Chelsea stayed stuck in 11th place.
Chelsea's post-Potter era kicked off with a wasteful performance against a shaky Liverpool side as both sides fight for minor places.
[Mohamed Salah](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/173896/Mohamed-Salah) was rested rather than dropped, as was [Andy Robertson](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/104943/Andy-Robertson). But although he performed like a player ready to take off, Felix summed up Chelsea in many ways -- lively, but erratic and with no real finishing touch. Kai Havertz on the sacking of Graham Potter: "We have to take responsibility what's going on. With a reported buy-out fee of £70 million at the end of his loan, however, he will need to do much more to earn a permanent move. It summed up the threat he posed with his direct running and willingness to take the ball. [Trent Alexander-Arnold](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold) was poor at the Etihad, but [Cody Gakpo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/249524/Cody-Gakpo) was a rare shining light in defeat, yet he was on the bench too. [Report: Chelsea and Liverpool draw](/soccer/match/_/gameId/637891) [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) and [Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) extended their miserable [Premier League](/soccer/league/_/name/ENG.1) seasons by playing out a dismal goalless draw at Stamford Bridge in the home team's first game since the sacking of manager Graham Potter. Klopp knows his players better than anyone, but by making so many changes, it gave the message that Liverpool have given up hope of climbing into the top four this season. [Harvey Elliott](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/280806/Harvey-Elliott) meanwhile didn't even make the bench. In this game, Chelsea had the better chances and saw two goals ruled out -- one for offside and the other for handball -- but they showed little sign of a positive bounce under interim manager Bruno Saltor. [Reece James](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/189007/Reece-James) and [Kai Havertz](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz) saw goals ruled out by VAR for Chelsea and [Mateo Kovacic](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/154595/Mateo-Kovacic) missed an easy chance to score in the second-half.

Potter was axed on Sunday after the former Brighton manager's disastrous reign climaxed with a wretched home defeat against Aston Villa. Chelsea are seeking their third permanent manager of the campaign, with Potter hired in September following Thomas Tuchel's shock dismissal. Chelsea are seeking their third permanent manager of the campaign, with Graham Potter hired in September following Thomas Tuchel's shock dismissal. Chelsea and Liverpool finished in the top four and met in the FA Cup and League Cup finals last season, yet less than a year later they are languishing in mid-table amid turbulent campaigns. Liverpool hardly looked much better as a third successive league game without a win damaged their faint hopes of finishing in the top four. Chelsea wasted a host of chances to beat Liverpool as the troubled Blues were held to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday in their first Premier League match since Graham Potter's sacking.
If those past meetings reflected their elevated status as two of the prime forces in the Premier League, Champions League, the FA Cup and League Cup, this drab ...
The cup finals last season are two of the best games I've seen. They are seven points off the top four and in poor form. Chelsea's immediate need, alongside the appointment of a new manager, is goals because for all the £600m lashed out by Boehly and co. Liverpool hardly looked like getting one here and if anyone deserved to win the game it was Chelsea. As they ran dry of ideas, inspiration and intensity at Stamford Bridge, you suspect it could have been at least another seven hours 45 minutes before any deadlock was broken here. It led to an odd atmosphere around Stamford Bridge.
It has been a while since Bayern Munich sacked their former manager Julian Nagelsmann, in favour of former Chelsea FC manager Thomas Tuchel.
As fate had it, a sudden news leak forced the board to come clean and put forth the formal news of his sacking. The contract of five years with the fee of €25 million made one thing very clear — the club believed in his vision enough to entrust a massive, long-term project in his hands. It was sudden and unexpected, for both the fans and an unsuspected Nagelsmann who was enjoying a quiet ski vacation. The Rekordmeister certainly aren’t the kind to throw money around for anyone, but they wanted Nagelsmann and came in ready with a huge amount. Chelsea are currently managed by interim manager Bruno Saltor, who took over after Graham Potter’s sacking. Though it has been lesser than two weeks since the sacking was announced, it feels a lot longer than that because of simply how much has transpired.
Not for Chelsea's players the outsized leaving card or the valedictory video message. No, what better way of celebrating the legacy of their outgoing coach ...

AND WHAT'S MORE: Luis Enrique has been out of work since leaving his role with the Spain national team after the 2022 World Cup. THE BIGGER PICTURE: Luis Enrique explained his preferred tactical style, which centers around high-pressing and high intensity, which is thought to be the ideal fit for the young players Chelsea have brought in over the last two transfer windows.

Chelsea will need to consider the circumstances around Nagelsmann’s demise at Bayern. The 52-year-old won the treble with Barcelona in 2015 and favours a quick, attacking style, although Chelsea will ponder whether much of that Barça side’s success was owed to having Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez and Neymar in attack.
