About the game today, the team was robbed. But se cant forget it was a game against a team in the botton of the table. You cant accept that kind of pressure because the team was down to 10 men. We cant also forget that 1-0 is never a safe result. The team barely created chances and seemed happy with the 1-0, and never really went for the 2nd goal. Never a football from a UCL winner or even a PL winner.

Getting the feeling this season is getting really weird...

We were robbed, but as soon as the team was down to 10 men the team suffered a huge pressure from the worst team in the league. You cant accept that kind of thing.
-
Matic is not used to that kind of thng. That only proves Barnes deserved a straight red.

After the racist thing, I think its 5-0.

Easily the worst performance in a UCL game since Bertrand horror show against Shaktar seasons ago.

To be honest the debate about defensive vs offensive football some people are trying to create here is nonsensical. Some people are suggesting Mourinho is getting criticized for playing "defensive football". Today Mourinho got his tactics wrong for 90 minutes. In the 1st half Mourinho clearly was expecting PSG to attack, then he came with a team to counter. But PSG had different ideas. They came with 3 DM, no creative midfielder and 3 strikers and were sitting back expecting a chance to counter attack, thats why we had the ball for most part of the first half, but a mid with Matic-Ramires-Fabregas is not exactly creative, so for the most part of first 45 minutes Matic and Ramires were exchanging balls with our defenders, PSG were solid at the defense and really dangerous in counter attacking. To be honest the result of the 1st half was unfair, since we created no chances at all. Losing the match, PSG needed to attack. The team that was supposed to be solid at the defense and deadly counter attacking looked more like a bunch of players that never played together than a team thats is leading the PL by 7 points. Cavani and Ibra destroyed our defense, and its really hard to believe we survived the match with a 1-1 result (a good one after all). The team never had a chance to counter. Despite all the talk about Diego Costa returning, he was more concerned about making silly fouls than playing football. He was 100% useless. Fabregas left the game too late, Cuadrado looked completely out of place attacking and unconfortable playing the role of a second right back and his presence in the game was totally unnecesary. To be honest, its no about playing offensive or defensive, its about playing solid football. Today the team could not attack and could not defend. Its easy to forgive the team for don't beating big sides in PL when you are 7 points clear at the top of the league, but you can't win the UCL without beating big sides. The UCL performance this season as a whole has been mediocre. I'm not that confident we will reach the next level. Saying we have the lead is a lie. Last season everyone was saying Jose's tactics were amazing and we had a foot in the Final after the 0-0 result in semi-finals first leg, untill the team got completely destroyed in the 2nd leg. Even if we reach the quarters, I don't know if we are ready to reach the semis again. Mourinho became way too predictable and conservative, and I'm not talking about playing defensive football. Before this match, everybody knew he would come up with Ivan, Terry, Cahill, Azi; Ramires, Matic; Fabregas, Willian, Hazard; Costa. It was clear that, even if 90% of the season the team is Matic, Fabregas; Oscar, Willian, Hazard; Costa, he would never play an away UCL match in knockout stage with that line up. Luis is a better footballer than Azi, Cahill has been a disaster, but of course Jose would not play a defense with Luis and Zouma in such a game, he would favor the line up that have been playing together since last season. I think this team will win the PL at the end of the season, but I dont fancy the chances in UCL. To win a tournament like PL you must be the most consistent team for the whole season. To win UCL you need something special. I hope we will see something new in the 2nd leg, but I don't hold my breath.

To be honest I'm concerned about his record in big games. His UCL record for us is poor at best. imo Cavani and Ibra are both better players.
-
Cavani motm. Curtois our best today. Poor performance, poor tactics from Jose. Good and lucky result. Fabregas worst player on the pitch. Costa useless. He must stop trying to fight and make fouls and concentrate in playing football. To be honest, our chances this year in UCL are really small.
-
Cuadrado was 100% unnecessary in this game.
-
Fabregas going out too late.
-
Costa awful today. Just awful. Yet to make a good performance at the highest level.
-
Fabregas terrible today.
-
Deserved result. We were lucky to score in the 1st. This line up was fucking awful. Fabregas shit 100% in this role.
-
Costa and Fabrgas easily worst Chelsea players today. Costa needs to undertand that giving away silly fouls is a stupid thing to do.
-
Ramires teaching Cahill how to play.
-
Ivan: 3 goals in last 5 games.
-
Playing in Oscar position.
-
Fabregas completely useless.
-
Mourinho line up is completely innefective the way PSG is playing.
-
Mourinho was expecting PSG to attack first and counter attack. Its clear they will sit back and wont get big risks.

David Luiz outperforming Gary Cahill - Was Mourinho wrong?
Henrique replied to James's topic in Chelsea Articles
Mourinho was right when he let Luiz leave for that amount of money. Mourinho was wrong when he decided Cahill was the right guy to be playing as a CB for a top european club.- 7 replies
