Closed Sporting Lisbon 0-1 Chelsea

[jeronimo 130]

It was just one of them days when the ball doesn't want to go in the net.

Funnily enough the only goal we scored today was from the hardest chance we had.

3 points is the most important thing, I think our lack of goals came from a mixture of poor finnishing and that Patricio had a crazy game. Otherwise a decent day at the office. And Matic for motm imo, even without the goal he had a really solid performance which is assuring considering his kinda "slow" start of the season.

voted for Costa should have scored but tackling back like a beast in last 10 mins did it for me .

Willian was superb when he came on

Schalke 1-1 Maribor. Top of the group!

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Patricio had a blinder but no excuses, the team really didn't make any of our best chances count... Pretty poor performance offensively.

I think Schurrle needs to be our super sub, he doesn't play a team game at all.

Hazard was fouled a lot but never looked to take the game to them.

Surprised Costa missed so many chances, he usually only need one.

Fabregas and Matic were our best players by a mile.

Meanwhile, Shitty out of Europe.

Frankly, that was shit.

Onwards and upwards, let's smash le arse on Sunday.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Wenger better buy Rui Patricio until Sunday or else he'll be in for another epic hammering.

Well done lads. Sunday should be fun

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Nani just lol...how we only got 1 n how they didn't score bit ehhh.their goalie bloody good but we got there so yay..

[darrus 422]

I voted Matic but Patricio is MOTM period.

Sort of bizzare game, really, I don't even want to analize it - 2nd part was a complete chaos. Could have been 1-1, couls (should) have been 5-0, could have been whatever. So I'm taking this result and I hope we will be more organized next matches.

Waste of so many chances, but Patricio had an absolute blinder, so kudos to him.

Good result in the Schalke match, we're top of the table, life is good, YAY!

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Why didn't one of those chances fall to Hazard?

[svajo 153]

Dont worry, they were just saving the goals for Arsenal

[LAB 1,030]

Phew!! That was heart attack central. Thank god for the sublime header!!! 3 points i am happy and won't look back the billion chanced we wasted . MOTM Oscar & Matic.

Bring Arsenal Buahahahahaha

[LayZ 201]

We would have scored each one of those 1v1-s with Totti upfront..still dinking past the keeper at 38..

[romeeh 139]

costa,schurrle,oscare and salah wasted one on one goals!!!...is that bad luck or they just have super goalkeeper?!!

[didierforever 7,349]

lets give credit where its due, their GK had a worldie today. he was absolutely brilliant. on another day the scoreline would have been 4/5-0 EASILY. we could have been 1-0 in the 2nd minute. we were pretty good. created ample oppurtunities. defensively we were a little shaky especially when the lisbon players were running at our players. one of the worst things about today was the number of times we were caught on counter from corners and not for the first time this season. making repeated mistake is an arsenal trend and we should be doing something about that aspect of the game.

all the players were good except for schurlle who seems to be on a low. very suprised that costa got 90 minutes considering our next game is arsenal.

anyways, good result. good win. clean sheet. 4 points from 2 games with 2 legs against maribor. with the other results in the group, we should be done and dusted with the group by round 4 hopefully.

tame efforts.

schurle tried from an angle but the keeper saved.

oscar was the worst finisher among those above.

[didierforever 7,349]

Fucking circus of a performance. we missed their GK saved like 10 fucking sitters!!!

corrected.
