Could’ve just bought Maignan for peanuts basically but here we are 

I just knew we wouldn't be able to capitalise on others dropping points. 

Tonight most of our efforts on target were all from outside of the box though. Pot shots basically. Not any real guilt edge chances. Or maybe one or two but wouldn’t have changes the complexity of the game given how early we conceded the first 2 goals.
The first leg yes we played much better but again, those PSG performances both legs weren’t anywhere near the high standards they set last year. Plus when you capitulate with 20 minutes to go in the way we did, it takes away any real positives from the game. 
Then tonight, defensively poor from the off. So passive without the ball. Big disconnect from back to front. Massive gaps. 
We got what we deserved over both legs, thoroughly pumped. By a team which I will say again, look nowhere near the incredibly high standards they set last year. If they played like they did last year & beat us 8-2 on aggregate, ok hands up, could’ve happen to anyone but this season…. They basically limped past Monaco the last round.
Hes off. He won’t get a game at PSG if he is really considering going there though, doesn’t work hard enough. Rosenoir hooking him at 60th min also says it all. 

Before KK came on in the first leg, the game was in the balance. He effectively won them the tie in a 30 min cameo while we have Mr Leaker coming on. There are levels. 
I can't see Arsenal going all the way. It feels like RM or Bayern will win it.
If that tournament meant something to any team, it was PSG. All you need to do is look back at Enrique's reaction, glorified pre-season friendly or not. 
We gave PSG a decent game away from home (Joao Pedro scored but was offside and Palmer missed a sitter at 2-2). Tonight, we had 18 shots, 9 on target (four more than PSG). The difference is being clinical when the chances arise. Lets not forget Jorgensen played a massive part in the scoreline as well. 

This is worse than the defeat to Bayern behind closed doors. Giving them so much space.
Owners only have themselves to blame.

I feel sorry for the kid, but this is the result of poor management. Another individual mistake from a player who isn’t ready for this level.
 

These getting a clean sheet against anyone is unrealistic. Never mind PSG with that attack.

If we go out fighting and give PSG a game like Villa did last year (maybe do one better), I'll take it.

If away goals was only still a thing...that give us more of a chance. Then again...who knows. Just gotta go for it. Already losing so nothing to lose

Congrats on the new arrival. We need some good news after this shambles.

Bodø/Glimt could, if they keep playing like they are
upset Arse if Arse play like they have been lately

That Bodoe/Glimt result in the last round could have done the league a favour.

I was thinking the same thing
but I think 5th place for the EPL being CL is safe atm

Thats more or less us out.Spurs out. City out.
Newcastle maybe. Liverpool and Arsenal reckon will be fine...
Silly silly mistakes. And again and again and again made

our GKer scouts and GKer coaches have been SHIT for ages
utter shit
well back into Roman times
disasterous

The high line and a team actually showing up to play helps.
The test is whether we can find a way to win vs the teams that park a bus

He HAS TO GO!!!

Well done Delap too for that goal. Made a ruckus in the box

Could do with less changes and destabilizing the midfield and still keep people fresh. The very best teams make hardly any changes between league games. Look at Arsenal lineups over a long period  - Same back 4 + Consistently same players across the pitch

Hopefully not Newcastle just a bit dull we play them twice every season. Know not how it works...

Emery is a WC manager

Delayed post, but James deserves a lot of credit for his gesture by taking the interim coach to the fans after the City game.
Very good character.
I've said this before, but one of the things Chelsea fans can take to heart this season, is the growing leadership that both James and Enzo Fernandez have shown on occasion this season.
Still a lot more to go, to get near Azpilicueta, let alone Drogba, Terry or Lampard levels.
But a good sign nonetheless.

People deal with things in their own way. He was very vocal during the Enzo saga as well.
Hate crime is a crime however you look at it. His performances should be called out & nothing else.

I'm not here to past judgement. However, this type of response always seems to come from the same ground. Racism is still a major issue, which is why the club have come out condemning those uneducated individuals. 

I'm not a fan of Joao leading the line, tbh. He did decent against Spurs, but I feel playing behind a CF is his best position.
