Closed Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Chelsea

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Toughest MOTM vote all season right here.

Wanna say Cech even though he let two past him. Defense was shambolic. Cahill is a starter from here on out.

Unacceptable managing. Saving your 1 offensive roll of the dice to 70 minutes after we were already down 2 screams cowardice. Sturridge, in his short time on, put Hazard through on goal.....and probably could have done more with more time. Not good enough from Robbie there.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Fuck, now it's getting even more complicated. Next game is absolutely huuuuuuge.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Could have been worse...need to pull it together for the rest and never play like that again!

[Muzchap 8,966]

Lessons learned:

1) Start with full concentration

2) we do have some younger experienced guys, this was a good game to put behind them

3) changing team unsettled something and injury didn't help to lamps.

4) they have some amazing brazilians and a great team and work ethic, hard to beat.

Could have been worse 5 or 6 from them if not for Cech...

NOW WE NEED TO BOUNCE BACK at the weekend...

[YuriZhirkov 106]

We NEED a goalscorer, we aint gonna win anything without a good striker.

Horrible game from us, nothing worked, shit attack and horrible defending. Wtf is Terry and Hazard doing at 2-0??

The only one shittier than us was Skomina.

[blue_swaggin_96 96]

hahaha this was likely to happen, know shaktar welcome juventus a defeat!

[Beigl 1,387]

Poor performance except from Cech,Mikel,Ramires.To lose at Donezk isn´t a shame.We have to look forward to Sunday..

[Rmpr 8,977]

Poor performance, gotta praise Shak though.

WE MUST WIN THE 3 GAMES!

[Jase 43,479]

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.

anyone who doesn't put Cech for MOTM needs their eyes gauging out with a spanner

[Heartbeat 21]

There's no doubting Shakhtar's performance, I knew yesterday we'd lose hence my post (actually, that was on another forum) worrying about the game. Poor performances have to be pointed out however, regardless of that is - either the players or the referee. A red card should have been given and fouls were being awarded for nothing the most notable ones being the 3v1 situation and the last minute of the game. If we're to beat Shakhtar at home then we'll be level on points with them, Juve will probably be one behind us with a home win against Nord. Shak will then beat Nord away from home, leaving Chelsea and Juventus to battle out for the runners-up if the last game of the group, a draw being needed for Chelsea. Last season anyone? Chelsea v. Valencia.

[Rambo 1,729]

Better now than later I suppose. This could've been a blowout if it weren't for Cech, our defense looked so slow tonight.

[Azpinator 2,325]

Enough with the negativity. before and after the match.. We don't need that.

RDM may be too focused on the Man U game.

[klopfzeichen 78]

We were outclassed but we'll get revenge on them next time. Neither Oscar nor Mata was at their best. Fernandinho is quality as is William.

[Kieran. 6,317]

how are we 2nd in the group?, i thought Juve have drawn all there games?, so we must have more points no?.

Shakhtar have 7 pts, we have 4, Juve has 3.

[TheCount 146]

Is no one eles ashamed of how much diving shaktar did all night? disgraceful, good "work ethic" my ass, diving shower of cunts more like.

Other then that they played well, we played shite our younger players couldnt handle the pressure of a really hostile ground either.

We needed experience and we were left with boys, unfortunate, tho i do like being right, pitty it was the bad kind of right.

Move on.Learn Lessons. Beat Utd. Win at home next again shaktar.

Also tho Torres didnt play great, to say sturridge was any better is laughable, he was bollix to and never got a ball either, no width again aswell for fuck sake.

[Laylabelle 9,351]

Ya they have 3,us 4 and donetsk 7

[Jase 43,479]

Our group as it stands right now...
