closed Chelsea 1-1 Atletico Madrid

[Leif 6,006]

It's embarrassing to yet again have only 2 players adept at charging forward. It's no understatement to say that 2 great wing backs will steroid-up our game entirely.

And Cahill has been poor as well but that's predictable. He's not a player for this level. All in all we've out Atletico'd Madrid them so far. We don't even look interested in the game

I feel like you love to complain just for the sake of it these days, mate. We played well. But for Oblak being a beast we might've scored a couple. We showed a lot more attacking intent than they did.

Wouldn't be funny if we finished 1st and ended up getting PSG in the last 16?

They're currently 2-0 down at Bayern. A 4-goal defeat will see them finish 2nd.

Not sure why again so many negative critics...we play well, defense is organised and when we retrieve the ball (we made several great tackles and intereceptions), we attack quickly. The ball flows from player to player and almost everytime we create something. We chase for every ball too. 

Just because we let them play (and so war they only waste time passing around midfield), doesnt mean we are not interested. First half, we prepared excelently IMO. Frustrate them with strong defence and kill them on quick counters. Every time we go forward, we play realy well.

The only problem I see, we dont have quality finishers. Morata did well today, but missed that ball, same with Eden. Others are simply not good finishers. We need another player who can score, ie Pedro or maybe Willian who is in good form right now.

Oblak is awesome too.

Unless they already have someone lined up, I could see Oblak going to Juventus.

Now this is the football I want to see. Insane from Hazard

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Eden has reached a new level this season in that central role. He's consistently unplayable now.

He's been this good the whole time. We should've had 4 seasons of him central already.

This is why you dont play defensive at home against the most defensive team in Europe.

fuck off

Had enough of Bakayoko.

Look what a corner directly into the box can do

My feelings. Exactly my feelings.

Tepid from Courtois in the end. There's no such thing as an unstoppable header. Barely moved his hands. Didn't even move his body. Most keepers would throw their body on the line.

When Cech conceded I felt sorry for him. When Courtois concedes I feel nothing but bitterness for accommodating someone who barely wants to be here.

No! That's not allowed! He's allowed to be as crap as possible because he's young!!! HE'S YOUNG DAMMIT!!!!!

[Milan 17,835]

Bakayoko and his fucking stupid fouls...

[bluephoenix 1,125]

Come on Blues KTBFFH

Lampard himself - 

Bakayoko not good enough.

Can't figure out what sort of midfielder he's supposed to be.

Initially thought he could be a Yaya Toure, but now, definitely not.

Is he a knee-jerk reactionary, short-sighted, uninformed fan too?
