John Terry provides steel as Chelsea frustrate Watford

Watford 0 Chelsea 0: If this really was the start of John Terry’s farewell tour, then we should have perhaps expected nothing else.

For this was not the Chelsea that wowed fans on Sunday night with their goals and guile at Milton Keynes, but a throwback to teams gone by.

The visitors were combative, solid, and almost impossible to break down. Jose Mourinho would have certainly approved. But Terry is another who would have gained satisfaction from the stalemate at Vicarage Road.
