Parc des Princes
19:45 Kick Off (UK time)

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Honestly we deserved that. Players should be ashamed with that second half performance. Toothless, passive and completely lacking desire and energy.

PSG weren't great, we were very bad.

[Strike 7,217]

FUCK OFF

was about to say OK result. can take it at home

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Shocking gutless second half performance. But.....

REMEMBER NAPOLI!

[Melanicus 5,208]

It's not over... WE MUST FIGHT LIKE LIONS AND LEAVE OUR HEART ON THE PITCH... and we will go through.

[HD3D 1,038]

3-1. Two goals due to Cech's mistakes. Only 1 day after Courtois put up one of the most brilliant goal keeping performances in the CL.

I'm not gonna say he's the only one to blame for our loss but out of everything we can take from this game, this is one.

[The only place to be 11,313]

Disappointing but not surprising.

No striker.

No midfield.

What is surprising is the number of people giving up in the match thread and saying the tie is over. Have a fucking word with yourselves. We can turn this tie around back at the Bridge like we did in 2012.

But unfortunately the things that cost us weren't that surprising.

[sdrcfc 461]

Napoli all over again?

Can we win 2-0 at the Bridge?

[Shane 2,275]

The only positive I can take from tonight is that PSG are fucking shite aswell, Have no idea how they're 3-1 up but its going to take something special to overturn this.

[Mathewe 65]

Good first half display after a poor start (Courtois would have saved Lavezzi's goal) but what the shit was that in the second half? I don't even have words for how bad that was, I knew the 2nd goal was coming as soon as the free kick was given, and that third goal.... come the fuck on. Awful.

Going to need to FIGHT for this in the second leg, and I don't know if the current team has it in them, I sure hope they do.

[Liquidator 5,176]

Can't see us coming back from this I'm afraid. Psg are far better defensively than Napoli and we had a striker when we played them

In other news, has anyone got Courtois' number?

[Weckerz 3,781]

Eto'o will fix this :F

[PSG-ownsChelsea-easy 0]

PSG to go through easily

Chelsea didn't do much besides the pk and Hazard's volley

could have been 6-2

[Atwa 78]

Cech should have done better on both 2-1 and 3-1. Though the defense was a joke on the last goal as well.

Really, really bad performance. Last few weeks haven't been very encouraging.

Going to Stoke live, flying out tomorrow. Hope players wake up for that.

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

Many mistakes were made. Cech especially looked suspect on two of the goals. While Luiz probably could have cleared that OG, it was a freekick Cech should have had punched away, Terry should also have done much better on it (and on the first goal cleared it better). Third goal was typical Pastore and caught the whole defense sleeping, but still even with that, Cech and his poor near post skills... Next season must be time for Courtois to get a proper chance.

[Sovieticus 743]

Eto'o might be available for the next game. Maybe we will pull off 2011/12 again. History repeats itself as they say

[cosmicway 1,326]

I don't know about the replay but if this was a league match we 'd be cursing even more.

It's definitely a lean spell, happening in midst of the crucial stage of the proceedings as well.

[Thendo 1,088]

Very dissapointing result, decent first half but a terrible second. We're still in it tho, it will be tough but it's not impossible!
