Closed Galatasaray 1-1 Chelsea

[yuvala 2,167]

Came out looking for a draw, got it.

The only thing I didn't get was, if Mou wanted to keep the score why bring Mikel in AFTER we concede?

I mean if you're not planning to attack then get Mikel on when it was 1-0 not when its 1-1 ..

[Drogba4ever15 47]

Fuck the result

What is wrong with our attack? We will never have any chance of winning the league with this horrible attack. It reminds me of 3 years ago when we could defend for our lives but we didn't even have an ounce of creativity or flair going forward.

I love Hazard but he really needs to be more selfish at times, he had Eboue one on one and for some reason held the ball up and waited for Torres. Willian the same, good defensively but doesn't offer anything decent up top.

The sooner Oscar comes back to form the better, him and Hazard are probably the only chance we have at even contending for the title this season.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Wishing a safe trip back home for all our supporters from HELL. Obviously, the most important thing.

[LAM09 7,054]

We need Oscar to start most of our games. We need someone who can play the killer pass to our CF's, instead of always going for goal themselves. Mata filled that void last season, but Oscar has to do it now.

[Fernando 6,585]

Very boring game for me.

But still a good result.

Let's hope we do the job, because if in the next leg it's 0-0 and we play for that, well with Drogba anything is possible.

So we need to do our job and not play for a nil game.

I suggest you start to support another team then .. Try R M they scored six

tonight

What is your problem? If you read my comment again, I said that I didn´t like our performance tonight. And that is why I´m not satisified. Who are you to tell me to support anything else? Really? Mature..

[Ze Mario 638]

I think he has every right to be angry with the performance. It was really "poor" and we've lived up to the stereotype of a team that "play, boring, negative, defensive, turgid football". And with Hazard, Schurrle, Torres, Willian feeding off scraps for 90 mins? Pathetic. Fuck the 1-1 result. That was disgraceful "football".

Give me the Chelsea of Zola, Di Matteo, Poyet, anyday over this bullshit I just watched.

Poor, boring, negative, turgid, pathetic, and above all, disgraceful. Anything else mate?

[Ainsley Harriott 2,732]

A decent result, but whatever you may think, you gotta admit that Cech was the culprit for the goal. It's unbelievable how the f*ck he always is afraid of going all in and jump for the fucking ball when he has the advantage of having a very tall body and long arms. Torres' cowardness is even worse, the dude is both taller and larger than Oscar but Oscar has bigger cojones, it's not even funny anymore. The 2nd half was reminiscent of City FA away. Tactics or not, we shouldn't be playing so cluelessly when the opposition has momentum. I really wish we could resort to tiki-taka as plan B at least instead of that pass pass between the defenders.

Yet you didn't win and we have an advantadge in the home leg. Suck it old sport.

[yuvala 2,167]

Torres was MOTM for me. We created absolutely nothing as soon as he went off.

I think it was more down to tactics..

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Something is wrong somewhere. We've played to many poor games this season. Is Mourinho incapable of putting out a side that plays good football? I know the CM pairing of Ramires and Lampard is not ideal at all, but the team was clearly set-up to play defensive football. What's the point of having flair players if we can't use them properly at the highest level?

Remember Schalke away (we won, but they out-passed us senseless. we won purely through individual brilliance) Basel away? Man City away? As soon as a team pressures our midfield, we collapse. Mourinho has to be more flexible than this. Remember, this was the reason why Roman's first choice was Guardiola, a manager whose teams play proper football..

Can any Chelsea fan seriously say he's happy with that game? If we lost 2-1 and we had a proper go, played proper football and kept the ball on the freaking ground, I would have been happier. And I say that sincerely. Mourinho keeps talking about "proactive" football but I only see "reactive" football. There is no evolution in the team's style of play. Maybe Mourinho just doesn't know how to make his sides play good football. Food for thought

[zolayes 14,489]

I thought the Gala fans were a pain the arse,,,but OUR SO called supporters

are worse ... If I said what I thought of many on here I would get banned ,,

FFS go "support " another club

[Reddish-Blue 2,505]

Wow, some over-reaction. We played away to a team which has some decent players. Got a draw, and sat back to soon. It's not a dire situation. Just ask the other english clubs whose situation they would rather have.

To be honest, United should have at least drawn with Olympiakos.....just goes to show how inept Moyes is.

Whether you like it or not, football is about results and we got a good one tonight. So naturally, as a Chelsea supporter, I'm happy my team have an advantage in the tie.

Agreed, but Oscar wasn't 100% fit.

[zolayes 14,489]

I thought chelsea was a good team, i thought wrong. chelsea is the weakest team of the last 16.Mourinho is a coward and his pussy team parked a bus in their goalpost. In the second leg we should have no problem to beat those pussies and qualify last 8

goodnight ..

I mean.....come on....really?

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Give it a fucking rest. We could've gone with Mikel in the middle but we didn't. We could've gone with 3 in the midfield and killed it but we played an attacking team.

I'm sorry you weren't entertained but these away games are about getting a result so you're still in the tie come the second leg. The fact is we have the advantage going back to the Bridge and I'm sure we'll play a much more attacking game there.

And I could give a fuck if some journalists are going to give us a bad write-up tomorrow because the same cunts were going on about how great Arsenal were a couple of weeks ago and look how that turned out.

We don't have to be entertaining and there is no problem in playing for a result in an away tie but why can't we do that by controlling possession even if it's not incisive. Why can't we do it where we at least look like we are a good team. We got a result today but it was get bodies back, win the ball and hoof the ball forward. You've got Torres, Hazard, Willian, Schurrle running more miles than they've made passes, that's pathetic.

[LAM09 7,054]

Agreed, but Oscar wasn't 100% fit.

Wasn't aware of that. He has to play when he is fully fit though.

[Reddish-Blue 2,505]

Poor result...could have killed the tie with a 2nd away goal

[BlueLyon 9,359]

69% Passing accuracy.

Dont put all bullshit to Ramires. Team pass acc. was 73%. 73! What kind of joke of players is that? We spend every year just to watch this boring play or what...and its not just players but also Mou. His tactics are disgrace sometimes.
