Rafa would have done it better

That is exactly the point, the comparison is not a good one, not at all. That's not how you compare keepers. Rewatch the super cup for the best goal-keeping performance in Europe this season and then watch our last game to see an average error prone keeper. You'll find similar cases with Thibaut.

They weren't in this order in 2012. There was 2-3 weeks between the first and second leg against Napoli IIRC including the defeat to WBA after which AVB was sacked.

Wow, that add is amazing. Jose's voice gives it a Morgan Freeman feel to it.

I'm assuming this has been solved now? It happens sometimes when Jim is changing something in the header. If you still see it, then try clearing your caches.

Well that is to be expected when Petr just had a pretty bad performance as is the result of the poll of this thread. Think it would have been a whole lot different if it had been opened after the Arsenal game when Petr had that amazing save right before our first goal or after Athletico's match against Madrid in the cup when Thibaut had a pretty poor performance.

That's a rather silly notion. By that logic you can ask, how many penalties has Thibaut saved in a CL final, and if your answer is less than 3 then we should keep Petr. Obviously neither are a good way to decide.

He's also said on a couple of occasions that Petr "naturally" breaks the EPL record for most CS next season. I wouldn't read too many 'hints' from now. I doubt Jose is even thinking about this matter right now, he's got all summer to figure it out and decide.

I've pretty much had the worst week in every possible way, so my mental sanity practically rests on us winning this game. So, please, don't screw this up Chelsea!

I think his starting position was all wrong. From his starting position, I agree that he could not have gotten to it because it came in too low. Even our defenders positions were all wrong for that goal, imo.

Incredibly tough decision because both are great which makes it a "good headache" to have. Hence, since I can't make up my mind, my answer has been for while that I'm perfectly happy with whatever Jose and the club decide.

No, but he covers over a lot of the cracks in our attack.

It's not that the result wasn't deserved or it's not still doable, but that third goal, especially the timing was like punch to the stomach. Dude, are you seriously complaining about strikers like Ibra and Cavani on Chelsea forum?! Fine, give them to us and take Torres and Ba!

No need to take a pic with you, just ask her to give you the "50m pound flop" look

No idea. Physioroom doesn't even have him down as injured. Got to wait for Jose's PC tomorrow.

Well, our keeper hasn't been doing too great recently

I feel really bad for him. I watched him trying to answer questions after the match about strikers and Schurrle and he looked close to tears! That Eto'o injury really hurt us.

The thing is, everyone judges player performances on single incidents. Take that mistake out and he'd have had a very good game and kept Ibra in his pocket for more than 70 minutes. But that was a pretty bad mistake nonetheless. Lack of concentration maybe or maybe he was waiting for a shout from someone behind him that never came. On any account, I think he knows that the right thing to do was put it out for a corner. He'll bounce back, no doubt. Watch him score against Stoke.

Jose said he could write a comedy about Balotelli. What could he write about Fernando? His suicide letter?!

Dear Torres, Please NEVER touch the ball again. Just stand there and look pretty. Sincerely...

Looked very shaky along with the entire defense from the beginning till the end. All three goals should have been avoided.

Sorry, had to add "none of the above" to the poll because I honestly couldn't pick a MOTM. The positive is that we got an away goal and we are definitely still in the tie.

Honestly we deserved that. Players should be ashamed with that second half performance. Toothless, passive and completely lacking desire and energy. PSG weren't great, we were very bad.

Huge let off.

This is beyond frustrating. Are we really settling for the loss?!
