The referees hate Chelsea so no matter what we say nothing will happen imo. I think Hazard has to take matters into his own hands, scream when kicked and roll over on the floor when a two footed veratti challenge comes in. He'll soon get a serious injury if he doesn't protect himself

If we can't get Varane, we should get an English centerback, stones

Exactly. Hazard should protect himself It would even help the team if he gets tactical with his dribbling. Referees don't want to give cards to people fouling hazard, even sterling is more protected

Jose Mourinho is rumored to be expected to sign a new contract in the summer http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/football/article4359562.ece

Very good point that the lineup change spoils our play. It must be mainly because fabregas is removed from the pivot for defensive reasons that causes it. But how do we get a strong player who has almost the same vision as fabregas to control the game but still defend athletically like Matic or at least mikel??? When fabregas doesn't play, (against astonvilla) our teamplay suffers, when he isn't in the pivot we can't keep possession. We need to find a way to keep him deep and provide him with protection like Pirlo has. Vidal - Pirlo - Pogba Ramires - Fabregas - Matic If Mourinho can't play a 4-3-3, then we need to find a replacement that can control the tempo and still defend like Matic in the pivot for big games.We just need to find a way to get more than 6 shots against big teams. We've passed the level of getting only 2shots in a match and hoping one is a goal.

I think he should scream when kicked to get players booked, because refs don't want to do the right thing until the player screams. It will help if everybody marking hazard have yellows so can't hack him down again.

His only weakness is aerial balls. Every other thing is fine he was rusty after not playing for weeks. People ve forgotten we're talking about the leagues top scorer here.

Lmao Page 1000 already. Nice to have Mourinho back with us, through the good times and rough times. His mere presence is entertainment, and I'll love him to stay here many more years, forge a strong winning mentality, and win lots of trophies.

Mourinho knows how to do it. He's just unnecessarily scared away from home. Just look at the match against Liverpool in the carling cup, we put up yesterday's performance at Anfield but we totally dominated them at home. He knows how to do it, but sometimes opponents(city and now PSG) use fouls to stop our counters so maybe we have to find a way to get them booked when they hack hazard down.

This is what he's failed to do. The counter-attacking is clearly not working anymore. Any match where we have less than 6 shots at our current level is unacceptable imo, it means the tactics is wrong

You're too soft

He should learn how to dribble towards people on a yellow card. The right back was booked and he should have gone towards him to make him commit to a challengeIf he dribbles towards one player consistently the guy is more likely to get sent off rather than receiving one tackle each from every PSG player who gets one warning each.

I was more annoyed with the fact that he didn't win a single ball in the air than other aspects of his game

This would make sense. He can focus on his defensive areas and managing the tactics during the game while the attacking patterns is done by the coach. Our counterattacks have been so bad this season and its not looking normal again.

Mourinho used to be the best counter-attacking manager in the world, and I'm a huge fast paced counter style fan. He has completely abandoned his main style and it's starting to get me worried. The last time we pulled off a proper counter-attacking performance was last season against City. Its too few nowadays.In big away games we attack as if the players just met each other for the first time and there is no sign of a practiced attacking move during the match. Its only the defensive shape I see but no plans in place when city or PSG lose the ball, we just pass to hazard and hopes he runs to the 18box successfully or we send a long hopeful ball to costa and prays he is Drogba. What has happened to those swift counterattacks of the old Mourinho teams? He needs to implement it here against the big teams. Our weakness can't be as easy as PSG letting us have the ball then we don't know what to do or PSG stopping hazard from running past players by fouling him. It's too easy. I know our players have weakness of keeping balls under pressure, but I need to watch our team and see some of our attacking pattern once in a while, its looking like too much guess work.

Another realization is our team is not a team that fits Mourinho's tactics. He needs physically strong and athletic people in the midfield, (a midfield trio of Matic, matuidi, sissoko) and a striker that holds the ball under pressure and win long balls like drogba used to be. This current team is terrible at physically holding unto the ball under pressure bar hazard and Matic. Because of this, Mourinho's tactics in big games won't be at full potential. We miss the Matic-luiz combo more than I thought we would

My only problem with Jose is he doesn't practice counterattacks anymore. Like Henrique said, he came to the match in the first half expecting PSG to hold possession and we counter but they sat back and the whole tactics was thrown under the bus. Because we can't pass the ball ourselves to create chances when big teams defend, and we can't defend counters like PSG and mancity. These are aspects of the game that must be practiced: 1. defending counterattacks, 2. Attacking with counterattacks 3. Possession under pressure Mourinho doesn't practice these 3 aspects of the game and I'm sure of it. We are not good at any of the 3 important aspects of big games and it's getting frustrating. We can't even press press teams from the front again, so how does he expect us to counter when we stroll around when opposition have possession. Our weakness is to attack ivanovic and cahill side, but Mourinho won't do anything about it. PSG kept on attacking our right side, that I lost count. The difference between this match and the tottenham match was tottenham scored their chances. Cahill is not a starting material anymore and I was shocked at how bad all our midfielders were at holding the ball under pressure except hazard, Matic and Willian.

He should start dribbling towards players who have already been booked to get them sent off. He should be taking even more advantage of his ability this way so that defenders will be afraid to touch him on yellow

What has happened to his counterattacks??? We are so bad at counter-attacking, its unreal. He's completely forgotten how to use counter tactics. Very weird

Terrible 2nd half. I can't stress how poor the 2nd half was. And our best defenders in the world didn't win one ball in the air against Ibra. They attacked through cahill/ivanovic side all through and we couldn't stop them yet again. When zouma played we forgot that weakness. Terrible passing under pressure and terrible pressing throughout.

Terrible. Torres level performance today

Daylight robbery

We have a technically poor team. Once the team is under pressure no one seems to know how to pass a ball. Our pressing from the front too is poor too.
