Too aggressive for me. The FA teach you you should be approx 1.5 yards off your line. Just a stride too big for me

Again, that isn't what the article is about. I don't know how you didn't get that. The whole point is we're being vilified every game whilst our opponents get away with murder.

I have a bad feeling about this one.

Just remember before you slag him off for how the players let us down, this man bleeds blue as the rest of us do.

Will be sad to see him go as he is absolute class. He'll piss off in the summer, and rightly so, with his winner's medal(s?) and go to a club and be first choice, like he deserves.

People laughed off when we were allegedly in for Guarin... he'd be a perfect squad player based on his versatility. Matic needs a bit of help, I more than agree!

Azpilicueta Matic Cahill (not so much this season) Hazard

Thought he was our best defender by far. 2/3 good games in a row from him. Fair play for answering his critics. His indecision on the ball still riles me, however.

And that highlights how shit the entire team was - but it is Mourinho who gets the flack for it.

Regardless of who did what, the article is suggesting that only whatever a Chelsea player does gets highlighted. I don't necessarily agree with everything in the article; I just like playing devil's advocate.

Mourinho's dedication to Ivanovic means Luis will never get a look in. Luis might as well leave and I wouldn't begrudge him if he did. He's quality every time he plays.

Bale was always going to "flop" because his price tag - more than Ronaldos - dictates his goals/assists output such match Cristiano's. Not possible. He has his technical limitations but he is still a very good player. By saying Bale is a "bad footballer" because his primary attributes are his pace and power is equivalent to saying van Nistelrooy was a bad striker because he barely ever scored from outside the box. His game is more suited to the Premier League, yes, but calling any player who has done things like this and this and that and that a bad footballer is a laughable suggestion. He's being scapegoated by Real whereas in reality their entire midfield has been mierda completamente since the winter break.

I'm being very harsh with that criticism. Its me with my GK/GK coach's hat on. You commit to either coming for the ball or staying. If he stays, he saves it. A misjudgement on TBO's part as he should have realised it was an impossible ball to try and catch. He will learn. The save beforehand was tremendous though, if de Gea pulled that off there would be a media wankfest.

And I say get the fuck off my forum.

And yet we didn't, we drew! If we blow our five point lead then this sort of vitriol is to be expected, but right now, it is pathetic. Lets sack Mourinho and bring another manager in.

If you thought Chelsea could not have come worse off after last night's UEFA Champions League humiliation against Paris St-Germain, then think again. In a fractious affair that degenerated into something resembling a WWE Royal Rumble, the Blues were knocked out as the Parisiens, twice on the evening and for the third time in the tie, levelled through a looping Thiago Silva header. In a cruel twist of fate, that goal sent Laurent Blanc's side through on away goals in the same way Demba Ba's strike had done last season. But any ill feelings will have been exacerbated by media "pundits" such as Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher resuming with their vitriolic tirades against the Club. Detractors suggest that José Mourinho is incorrect to suggest there is any sort of "campaign" against Chelsea; but with another clear penalty denied and the resumption of generic bile-spouting amongst the press, it is hard not to give credence to that theory. The British newspapers have focused on how, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was dismissed, nine Chelsea players were surrounding the referee. Big deal. As if such a thing has never happened before in the Champions League? It happens at every club, right Jamie?. The irony is palpable that Carragher, and former team mate and current Liverpool bench warmer Jose Enrique would deride Chelsea for their supposed unique referee intimidation tactics. The reason it happens is because, this season especially, referees have been so incompetent they have been sending off players for nearly having their leg broken. If you think one of your players has been nailed, at any level of the game such a reaction is entirely justified. I maintain that Ibrahimovic was wrongly dismissed. He did not go in with studs raised, nor with two feet on the ground. Yes, he caught Oscar and that collision clearly caused some discomfort to the little Brazilian, but the Swede did not launch himself in with any particular force; neither did his demonstrate any degree of aggression. He was just unlucky to catch another player in a 50:50 challenge - certainly not a red. "Orange card" territory, one could say. It was certainly understandable considering Oscar's reaction as to why the Blues players swarmed the referee, but let's not disregard the fact the referee already had his red card out of his pocket before John Terry and company arrived on the scene. His mind was made up. Diego Costa, too, has played the role of pantomime villain all season, and once again his own idiocy was highlighted - but again nothing is made of any player not in Chelsea blue. After a running confrontation with David Luiz, who not only managed to get under the Spain international's skin with his own wind-up antics but also later clearly launched an elbow on Costa. If the referee had have seen it, Luiz would have been given his marching orders, too. Instead, the media have focused on a silly, yes, but overall harmless shove by Costa on PSG's Marquinhos, who added to the comedy value by launching himself backwards, as if attached to a zip wire and filming an outrageous fight scene for the next James Bond movie. Of course, there was no mention of Luiz's antics, who even tried to get Costa sent off after a mistimed tackle by the Spaniard floored Thiago Silva. Mistimed rather than malicious, SIlva got up and got on with it whilst his defensive partner maintained his trademark petulant attitude throughout and was booked for trying to get Costa punished. Costa was again the central figure when, after a mazy run, he was quite clearly tripped by Edinson Cavani. It was a moment of quality totally out of character with the rest of this turgid game, and the incredulous reaction of Costa when he realised the referee had not awarded the spot kick said everything. Again, a referee had played centre stage on a disappointing day for Chelsea, and again on the European stage. If ever there was a call for video technologies, now the time. It isn't just Chelsea who are on the rough end of these decisions, but the Blues have had to put up with more than most. Click here to view the article

Thanks genuine diehard longterm PSG fan from Iran

You're calling him a troll after you said we sold our best Brazilian player, AKA David Luiz :lol: I'll retire for the evening on that note.

Mourinho got it wrong for me with his team selection. Ramires should have been in the pivot next to Matic, Cesc should have been on the bench and Willian or Cuadrado should have been on the right wing. Tactically, he did okay. Okay, it was far from a masterclass, but he was sensible. People on here are talking like we can take risks because life is like FIFA 15 and we can instantly change mentality from "Park the Bus" to "All-out Attack". It doesn't work like that. Mourinho will rarely win a knockout tie through beautiful football. He plays percentages and does what he has to. That involves nicking goals and defending like our lives depend on it. But sometimes things backfire and the reverse comes to fruition. We just got done by the better team tonight, a team that wanted it more than us. Yes you can say Mourinho should have fired up the players, but if you can't motivate yourself to play in a UCL knockout fixture you do not deserve to play for this club. The team were underwhelming today and totally choked on the big stage, which is becoming a usual occurrence this season.

We weren't cowardly in the first leg. We retreated into ourselves because PSG played a good game. I think that, tactically, we did everything you need to do in a first leg. 1-1 was a big advantage on the 3-1 the year before. The tie was lost tonight. It seems an obvious thing to say but when they went down to ten men they were like a team possessed. I'm personally just sitting back and applauding PSG. They've done us. Absolutely mugged us off. We've done it to teams countless times and this is a small dose of karma.

I think he did, going from the replays. Hard to say unless you were there and next to the dugout, but it appeared as if he was gesticulating for the midfield to press more.

I think there's more to it than that, but he has looked shite in every UCL game he's played for us apart from Sporting away, and even then he should have scored about 12 goals. Can't be a coincidence.

No we've not.

Apart from the defence and arguably Hazard, the whole team was shite, as you say. Gutless.
