I blame Mourinho and his tactics They had 10 men for 90 minutes and they didn't look tired at the end of the game .. this is joke, right? They probably had more posession and when Chelsea had the ball all the movement was too slow. No one touch passes, no fast changes from one wing to another to move PSG defenders up and down. Every player made around 5 touches before he passed the ball forward and their defence was just sitting and waiting on the edge of the penalty box. No real passion for 2 or 3 goals to score, no high pressure to get the ball back quickly and to force them to play quicker ... this defensive approach is annoying to watch and even with 10 men they looked better team and I was just nervous when we will concede rather than watching us attack and score 3 goals First sub was logical - Oscar on yellow and with warning, Willian comes on. But what was Mourinho thinking with Zouma and Drogba? I am not sure really .. Matić was injured yes but we already had Ramires as a DM on the pitch, he could easily brought Cuadrado IN ... and Drogba just because he is legend and had his birthday? We nedeed speed and he brought static player on ... we could destroyed them but NO, let's play defensive football. Mourinho show us some balls .. you talk too much

With Costa or Remy we would destroy United .. they are poor but they outplayed us on that match. And who aswell scored against Tottenham? That is correct - Loic Remy No disrespect to Drogba but Remy is far better player ATM ... he is younger, sharper and more suitable for playing counter attacks against City.

Oscar will start on nr.10 because his workrate is really great

Seriously? They want 45M for Douglas Costa and you think 35 is too much for Cuadrado? And what would be good negotationing for you ? We are not in 2006 anymore, prices have increased And IMO he is one of the best wingers in the world and his quality is way past Fiorentina. He can do something like Alexis Sanchez IMO

He is beast I would love him here. Great rotational player but IMO in central midfield and also as defensive midfielder and not as winger ... get rid of Mikel and get him instead !!

He should be nowhere near Stamford Bridge

You are right. Front six you stated and my back 4 would be the best lineup for today even from rotation prospective. But I can see us being dissapointed with Mikel instead of Oscar and Fab in nr.10

Azpi - Zouma - Terry - Luis for me

It's 4-3-3, confirmed on chelseafc.com

We have many good loaness, but there is no room for everyone in our team, because of weird (bad) transfer policy. Courtois, Romeu, Van Aanholt, Hazard, Piazon, Wallace, Atsu, Chalobah, McEachran, ...

At his 17, Josh McEachran was playing for Chelsea under Ancelotti. But I can't see a chance that Mourinho will play at least one of our promising youngsters today (TRANSITION ? )

I would love to see Ramires - Oscar/KDB

If we don't get Rooney, what about Moses or Schurrle as striker and Willian winger?

Reus - Mata - Hazard

They have lost one key player every summer (Kagawa, Sahin) for last two years. But Reus is above those two, he has potential to be superstar and he is already fantastic player!

He was my first choice after Di Matteo was fired. The best available manager and of the best in his business! Blanc and not Zeman

I hope Lampard - Luiz will be our midfield today

He will be the best in 3 years time !!!

Actually ... maybe we shouldn't blame only defenders for this bad goal conceding ratio. Last year we had guys like Kalou infront and they were comfortable with playing defensive roles and style with deep defensive line was suited to us. But this year we have Hazard, Oscar, Marin, Mata, Sturridge and Moses. This players don't have high defensive work rate and they can't reach their full potential with this tactic. Our best defense with this team is attack! We should play "sexy" football with some best players in the world, but even WBA outplayed us yesterday with 79% possesion in first 15 minutes of second half. I don't like Italian managers, because of their defensive mentality.
