Closed Porto 2-1 Chelsea

[The Mak 4,459]

At least it looks like Arsenal won't even make it out of their group! 0 points and Bayern Munich in their next two games...

[Pacquiao 1,834]

Costa and Willian were brilliant, Azpi decent everyone else not good enough.

But fact is we will still qualify and have a good run of fixtures coming up in the PL.

and we?

[Starman60 1,343]

That's two games in a row we concede from a corner. It's time to get back to basics and defend corners like they should be defended, with a man on the post. We really need to sort ourselves out defensively before we can move forward. I would also change Ivanovich's position and give him a totally different role.........Selling f@cking burgers up in the stands in row z.

Porto were the better side. We never troubled them in the second half until the last 5 minutes. We lacked ideas, build up was too slow, some of our passing was laughable and we just don't have a cutting edge this season.........The future is blue.......very blue. We dont even look average this season

could be worse -

Imagine if you were a gooner

Can´t imagine it, not even in my worst days.

Drop into the Europa league and win it so we'll be in CL for the new manager. Great situation we're in.

Ivanovic ... Simply cannot defend and couldn't cross a ballot paper!

Pedro ... absolutely abysmal attacking with the ball

Fabregas ... slow, sluggish and poor. Zero creativity and overall didn't give two flying shits!

As for the rest of them. Below par yet again! I genuinely cannot be bothered to construct further criticism because:

1) Mourinho will start Ivanovic regardless of what I say or what is said by anyone else

2) Fabregas will continue to play alongside Matic even though myself and pundits have picked up on the fact that he simply cannot play there because his creativity does not balance out with the box-to-box position! (In other words he can't tackle for shit!)

3) everyone will continue to blame each other because fucking no one is pulling their weight or even contributing to their roles on the pitch! Instead a massive dose of negativity flows through the entire squad!

Drop Ivanovic and Fabregas now, or we face a relegation battle! I'm dead serious... we are at a major risk of getting relegated straight after being champions if we do not sort out this fucking mess!

Begovic and Willian however, clearly the best players, but that's like saying piss takes better than vomit!

and we?

Arsenal have already lost against the two weaker teams in their group. It's like us losing to Maccabi and Kiev. If we do lose to Kiev though we deserve to go out.

So Jose 'showed some balls' by benching Hazard and Matic, but during game went into coward mode (or admitted mistake) by bringing them back..

If he wants to showbsome balls he need to bench iva and cesc

That is not about showing balls, though. That is being sensible.

Squawka Football

Branislav Ivanovic's game by numbers vs Porto:

10 misplaced passes

10 tackles attempted

1 tackle won

0 aerial duels won

0 crosses completed

So he was actually better than I thought

I think that 1 tackle won was because of not whistled foul

He was crap but that statistics is wrong. he won 2 easy headers early on against some 5'5 porto player early in the game. anyway. i did never expect to say that but i want bosingwa back.

I'd be in stitches if Chelsea weren't so terrible.

Someone do me a huge favour and post Claude footage. My mood will improve if I see and hear that beautiful man articulate and express his feelings and thoughts.

[Last Sicarius 610]

Iva Motm in all fcking games and Mou sill pick him. FFS why? Even Hazard and Matic didnt play in first XI. Even JT have been on the bench for a few matches. And Iva? Lol Mou gave him a captain. Rolf...

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

3 years @ 9million = 27million to buy this guy out of his contract...

That's a decent player right there

Oh well at this rate we won't need a bigger stadium

He has us were he wants us, which is by the balls. Unless Roman bites the bullet, we're in big trouble. Roman needs to sack the idiot responsible for giving him that contract. I think it's Granovskaia or whatever the f*** she calls herself. Amateurism and a tremendous amount of foresight. I don't know were Roman finds these people.

What, was the way we were playing for the entirety of the 2nd half of last season and even parts in the 1st half not enough for alarm bells to go off? Were there not enough signs there to at least hold off on any new contract?
