The performance was horrible but not too concerned about the result itself. Sure it would have been good to get the point because with Schalke drawing at Steaua it would have meant us sealing the first place in the group but we’re through anyway and only need a point at home against Steaua two weeks from now to guarantee the first place so it’s really not such a big deal.



It was obvious that for Basel this was a life or death kind of match because now they are only a point away from qualifying to the knockout stages but our players couldn’t be bothered. Not giving a fuck is of course unacceptable and all that but I’m glad we slipped up here and not against West Ham last Saturday.

Our best game of the year followed by one of the worst matches I've ever seen us play. Pretty much everyone was awful (Except Cech who made a few great saves and our central defenders were OK and Hazard provided a spark when he came on. and that includes Mourinho who got the tactics and starting XI all wrong. Despite conceding, we actually played a lot better in the second half (which was easy to do). Basel thoroughly deserved the win.

Disappointed. We NEED consistency and we are not getting it. We qualify though so that's the silver lining!

Thoughts on the game:

-Oscar should have been rested for Mata. I know I'm biased seeing as he's my favourite player, but I don't understand him not playing, to the point of utter frustration, let alone not getting on when we needed a spark, some creativity. Weird. Very weird.

- Ramires was pretty shoddy but looked absolutely shattered. For all his performances this season so far we can allow him this one I'm sure!

- Torres looked pretty sharp when he came on, feel bad for Eto'o.

- We have depth but we didn't use it, the team looked and played like they had serious fatigue. I'm not one to blindly follow Jose's decisions and I'm not one to flip flop between love and hate either but he got it wrong tonight.

- Basel deserve the victory. I really enjoy Salah. He is a cracking little player and deserved his goal.

Ugh. Anyway, that's over, it was a long 90mins waiting for an inevitable Basel goal. Now hopefully we can regroup for a very tough test on Sunday. Come on Chelsea!

PS. Play Mata. It's making me sad seeing him on the bench.

Mourinho might as well not have made that 3rd sub. If that was Rafa, everyone in the world would be talking about how clueless he was.

We have 0 attempts, can't create anything, our best playmaker is on the bench, and there's also Schurrle and KDB. But he wasted 20 minutes to settle for the point and eventually we got what we deserved.

Ridiculous negativity against an average team.

And there's no point even talking about that formation, what's even worse is 2 of those players will start their 3rd straight game against Southampton.

Take That wrote a good song once. It was called Patience I think...

He has been working with the squad for five months and he seems to have no clue on how to play except for playing on the counter attack and relying on other teams to make a mistake. He is running out of excuses.
