3 English teams losing on the same matchday?! Unbelievable.

We will face either Monterrey or a team from Asia.

http://www.redcafe.net/f11/chelsea-vs-manchester-united-360636/ Went to Redcafe to see what are the United fans' thoughts on this game. Instead, I came across a whole bunch of discussion on who should be starting for them.

Random stat: Eden Hazard has just two of the nine Champions League games he has played in(with Lille and Chelsea) - W2 D4 L3. Poor Eden.

Are you serious with that?!

Think he watched the replay of the game, not when it was live.

Massive game this. Hope the defeat last night will serve as a wake up call for the team. Can't afford to put in another dismal performance. And the referee for this game is Mark Clattenburg.

One major concern at the moment is our defending. We have looked sloppy and porous defensively especially when defending against wide players and at set-pieces. We just look a complete and utterly hopeless particularly on the latter. This has been utterly evident against Spurs and now Shakhtar. When the ball is being whipped in, either from corners or free kicks, you have players who are not picked up and allowed to have a free shot at goal or have time and space to pick out a passes. Not overreacting by any means here yet but worth remembering that RDM was sacked from West Brom because they were conceding goals from front, left, right and centre as well as from set pieces. RDM needs to ensure that this doesn't turn into an achilles heel for us again!

A bit random but this is just incredible...

Did I say anyone won't say that he was to be blamed for the goal?

As Amels said there, we would have lost this game by more than just a goal if it wasn't for Cech(and some poor finishing from Shakhtar).

He was DEFINITELY at fault for their second goal. Common sense not to be over-elaborating especially when you have 2-3 players surrounding you in those areas!

If we had decent striker on, instead of Torres, the game against Shakhtar could have been so different. It's game like those, where little chances are created, that we need our striker to be clinical when they are being presented with one! But noooo. Torres fluffed 1-2 really good chances when the old Torres would have scored and went behaving all pussy.

Our group as it stands right now...

So much for the "must get AT LEAST 4 points against Shakhtar"! Take nothing away from Shakhtar tonight. They were excellent. We were poor. Only bright side is Juventus drew and we lost 2-1. The return fixture against Shakhtar is an absolute MUST win now. A 1-0 win would be enough to send us top of the group. Anything else and it will be a disaster especially when we have go to Juventus on Matchday 5. And hopefully, this will serve as a wake up call for the team ahead of the match against United after the recent run of form.

Have no major complains about the lineup. Understandable starting XI away from home in Europe and against an in-form Shakhtar. Can't go all gung-ho and risk losing defeat when we cannot afford to lose tonight.

Deserves a warning for posting a fake lineup!

Feeling nervous about this one. Just couldn't stress the importance of avoiding defeat here enough.
