True, was wondering that myself

Well, if this doesn't put an end to the rumours I don't know what will.

The team lacks cojones. There's been a lot of criticism on the defence but it is in the attack that we lack the most. Players like Fabregas and Hazard are just shadows of their former selves. Willian doesn't find the goal, Oscar... where's Oscar? Even Costa seems dull. Actually I am not suprised this is happening. It's just the culmination of what was happening at the end of last season and the CL Jose castrated his attack by refraining them to do what they can do best, going forward and being creative. Kenedy and Pedro seem allright now, but lets see what a Mourinho-year does with their vigor. Mourinho can win you a title, maybe a CL by playing unatractive boring football, but there is a limit on how long a player can sustain this. Apparently it is somewhere around 1-2 years. Give the team their cojones back, Jose.

I think it's justified that Mourinho gets the flack for this. His tactics failed miserably since they didn't enabale players to dominate the game or to make decisive actions. His tactics made the team play like shit. This is especially true for creative players like Hazard. He stood alone and there's no support at all. The same goes for Costa, the only thing he could do is resort to more dubious behaviour. Its all defence and hoping that Hazard, Willian,Costa etc... have a sudden flash and score a goal. Mourinho really needs to learn from this cause it didn't work against PSG weeks ago or against Athletico last year. I am not saying that all the players get off scot-free. But the major responsibility lays with Mou's "plan". I am not going to hide the fact that maybe I'm a bit of a fanboy but I'm quite sure that Messi or CR wouldn't have done alot better in the same situation. I am convinced that Mou is holding back Hazard's potential. He may have become a bit better at defending now, but his creativity and energy is suffering.

This one definitely is on Mourinho. Cause I'm sure the players did exacty what he wanted, and I'm quite sure no one really played bad in his appointed role. It's the second time Mourinho's tactics cost Chelsea the next round in the CL. I just don't believe why you can fall in the same trap again and again. It's propably cause he had his succes with it but nevertheless I think it's stupid. Defend, defend, defend from the start, hoping that, with any luck, you can score a goal. And if you do score a goal: defend, defend and defend again although you know all your oponent needs is just one goal to come even or win the game. It's like he's always hoping you can win by the smallest margin especially in these big games and that's very dangerous cause you are playing with fire. It's sad that Mourinho shows no faith in the attacking qualities of his team. I'm convinced that at the bridge with a one goal-advantage we would have won that game if we just showed some, even just some, attacking intent. But, yeah, what ifs...,

With Chelsea playing like this I'm surprised Hazard singed a new contract. He had no chance to influence this game at all. One moment I even thought I saw some irritation because chels didn't play forward enough. It's been said many times but this end justifies the means-football sucks and nullifies the talented players. On the other hand he probably knew Mou will never change when he signed. Imo a waste of talent

Very promising performance by Zouma. Willian was lively too. Hazard apart from the super-cross, was quiet, propably cause we stopped atacking in second half. Remy was good when he needed to be. Obviously (with Costa and Fabregas) it could've been better. But I'll gladly take the point. Top of the table.

Best player on the field but he should've scored twice.It wasnt the first match this season where he almost could've won it by himself but didnt. Thats the difference between very good and legend. He could use some Rockyesque- Karatekid-like-goalscoring training.

He propably tried already many times but Torres being Torres, he has always missed.
