Closed Juventus 3-0 Chelsea

[Amblève. 4,995]

I think we played well, I think your tactics were wrong. The tempo was exactly how we wanted it

Congrats to the win! You deserved the victory.

Your dynamic approach killed us as well as our own tactics.

My issue with Di Matteo is that he and his team have been working with Torres now for close to 2 years, they see him on a daily basis in training, they see the same matches we do, anyone can spot that he hasn't been up to it on a consistent basis in a very long time, this is where a top manager with a strong personality, like Guardiola or Mourinho, would have spoken up in the Summer. Perhaps Di Matteo had reservations about Torres but he seemingly applied no pressure on Abramovich, Gourlay or anyone else to seek out a top striker in the Summer, even Mancini at City went public with his disappointment at not being able to sign Van Persie, in comparison our manager was reduced to a yes man. Then we arrive in Turin, the 50 million pound man is worthless, the other striker is injured and not proven at the top level to begin with and we are left playing 5 foot 7 Eden Hazard upfront.

The thing is - we all know that Di Matteo was only kept due to our CL and FA Cup win, I don't think he had any say in transfers and who was loaned out.

I think we should give him support and backing till the end of the season provided we keep up with the League Leaders - the next few matches are key for RDM.

Didnt deserve to lose 3 -0 and was always going to be hard in that cauldron.

we deserved to be spanked by a tennis score if juve had taken all their chances or even 50% of them or if cech had not kept us in the game for this long.

You are forgetting that Shaktar are already through. Do u think they will line up with their strongest team? And Juventus will play for their life.

They need at least a draw tho to guarantee top spot and an easier game, might be our saving grace,

Other then that the 3 ejits should of finished of the game on the break, we need a plan B like i always said, when the finesse dosent work put on the physical, team has no leaders either, and why dont they ever play wide. All they have to do is play like they did at the UTD game and we'd beat anyone, so stupid.

I said you thi morning and ywsterday...Juventus is better than Chelsea...was better in the first match and also in the second but we aren't qualificated yet....Goodnight and FORZA JUVE

I cant believe we played worse without Torres lol. Nothing much to say really.

No champions league, so it's time to recall KDB and Lukaku and keep money for this summer

[SempreJuve 62]

Thanks guys, when our midfielders are ticking we are hard to beat. Having Vucinic back helps as well. It isn't over yet. I don't think shaktar will play for the draw. The danes will also play the game of their lives in the last one

[zolayes 14,489]

HAZARD, MATA, OSCAR ARE TWATS YET AGAIN. ALONG WITH OUR DEFENSE.

I find it hard to believe youve been a fan as long as you claim when you make a post like this

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

We went there not even thinking of winning the game, we went for a point and in football you always lose when you approach the match like that.

we played worse against a very very good team. moreover we dint have a game plan and infact want to curb our natural instinct.

Can't believe ... the first champions of europe leaving at the groups stages.

Embarrasing.... really embarrassing...

Europe League, what a shame

Heads melted! Don't know how many times it has to be said but we cannot deal with pressure and we never inflict enough of it on our opponent. I want to keep off robbies back, I really do but he seems incapable of changing a game. At the same time tho the players must shoulder the blame too. Hazard concerns me more and more, he just hasn't lived up to the billing everyone was giving him and offers little when the backs are to the wall. David luiz love in is well and Truely over, time for the bench has been and gone. His lax attitude when he loses the ball is grim. January requires at LEAST 1 striker, probably 2. Still feel shaktar will beat Juve last game so try and keep the chin up. Players do need bollocked big time still

If Mata had scored straight after it was 2-0 it would have been game on and a draw was on the cards. Its all 'ifs' though. If me aunty had bollocks she'd be me uncle.

I think think problem is simply that we do not have a natural goalscorer/striker. Theres no target man, no one to feed the balls to etc.

dude cech saved us what in the 2nd or 3rd minute. the no. of bad choices by their strikers of passing than taking shots were immense. we got outplayed , overrun and bloody well owned by a very good team. they dominated thru out the match and towards the end we were left red faced. all we had was hazard's chance and mata's half chance. that's it. we were poor both defensively and offensively. we got exactly what we deserved

It could well be as simple as that, lets just hope we find the right man, tho we defo need more leadership.

Fair play to Juventus for their win, it's hard to admit but they were the better side on the night. Hazard at CF clearly didn't work, he was bullied by the three man defense of Juventus, I thought the team really missed what Sturridge showed in his 30 minutes as CF against West Brom, a striker who makes intelligent runs. We had several opportunities to have scored in the first half but I guess we were just unlucky, to top it all, Sturridge had to get injured before the match.

Anyway I think Torres is done as a Chelsea player, I think he's reverted back to not caring about the team anymore, his introduction added nothing to the game, Chelsea actually got worse since there was no Mikel to boss the midfield. I hope Sturridge is fit against City, I can't see us winning if he's out, I really hope I'm wrong and the team pulls a surprise on City and get back within at least 3 points of the top of the table.
