CHOULO19 24,332 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 PSG created many decent chances over the course of the game - many of which came after they scored the equaliser.Relative in that it was 1-0 until we eventually conceded. They were pulling us all over the field.What's been happening a lot this season is we park the bus but don't actually do any defending. We just concede space, offer nothing on the counter and just try to see the game out. We did not have any control whatsoever in the second half.Yes, they had plenty of chances after the 1-1, hence why I said the momentum completely shifted.Between our goal and the equalizer, PSG managed to create next to nothing ---> Relative control for us. We did not "park the bus" until after the equalizer and that is when PSG started created chances regularly. We even started the second half better than them till they scored.

thekid9 418 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 you're the one who's talking shit. since when does scoring goals exempt a full back from his defensive responsibility? and when did I say Cahill is great? We all know he isn't but at least Jose is looking in to that... yet the right flank has been neglected for so longBrana has been amazing for years, Even JT said it tonight post match! Brana's goal and assist stats are brilliant. he has the odd bad game defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Buzz 487 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, got a decent result I suppose at 1-1, but really poor overall after looking like we might salvage a poor start based on the way we finished the 1st half.First truly bad performance from Diego. Made Torres' performances last year look stellar. Remy would have been a better choice as it turns out. Diego healthy? Fabregas needs to be moved back to his normal position. Oscar I suppose needs to come back in. Really surprised that they bossed us around at times.The were carving up our back line like a prime rib at times. They must have had four or five great looks inside the box.Courtois easy MotM.All things considered, better than 3-1 result there last year. Rally the troops and take out these guys at the Bridge in a few weeks.Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styles 9,790 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yes, they had plenty of chances after the 1-1, hence why I said the momentum completely shifted.Between our goal and the equalizer, PSG managed to create next to nothing ---> Relative control for us. We did not "park the bus" until after the equalizer and that is when PSG started created chances regularly. We even started the second half better than them till they scored. PSG were very tentative and weary of the counter attack initially; once they needed to press and actually push for a goal we caved in like we have done repeatedly this season.You call it control but to me PSG were afraid of being undone on the counter attack; their initial approach suited us perfectly. Once they went for it there was no resistance.Any hint of pressure from the opposition and we completely fall away whilst offering nothing in return.

dUMB 189 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Nah. I think our best team is 4-2-3-1 with hazard willian cuadrado.And oscar rotating CAM with willian.I dont like the way we're playing in a 4-3-3.Of course I would like to see our 4-2-3-1 against big teams if that means matic - fabregas, hazard willian cuadrado. But, I'm not sure that we will see that. that's why i mentioned 4-3-3.btw. when is the last time we played in a 4-3-3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open 45 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Cüneyt Çakir was too lenient tonight, the lack of bookings allowed PSG to break up our game with so many persistent fouls that went unpunished. Veratti's yellow card could have easily been a red, and how David Luiz walked out of that game without a single booking is a mystery. We often lack creativity when Fabregas plays as a number #10 behind Costa; I'd hope Mourinho considers reverting, or at least experimenting, back to 4-3-3 to allow Cesc to sit deeper, although credit to Veratti & Matuidi who were outstanding tonight. Interesting to note that the Independent were reporting, around the 70' mark, that Hazard had been fouled nearly 15 times. Different class.

MichaelDance 552 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 we can't seem to score more than 1 goal to save our lives PSG are a good side though, we always seen to never score many at their home. We always score at home.2014: Chelsea 2-0 Paris St-Germain (3-3 agg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed a goal at 0-1 much more but only took control of the game after our defense practically gifted them the equalizer. Momentum can have a huge impact in football. Plus, psychologically, it made sense for our players to subconsciously settle for 1-1. PSG needed a second and had the momentum, belief, and fans support of just scoring.

Pacquiao 1,834 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 great result, that typical Chelsea fighting spirit was on show again! if we ever lose this fighting spirit that Jose installed into our club in 2004 it will be a very very sad day for me! and its sad when people moan about these types of performances away from home without a fully fit squad aganist a good team and getting a good result, but people want us to play like Barcelona in these types of games, oh wait how did Barca get on in Paris again, please someone remind me???

Azpinator 2,325 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 1.Diego Costa has done nothing outside the BPL!,17 goals this season all of which have been in the league! what kind of improvement is he if he can't score in Europe? Torres/Eto'o/Ba all had a couple by this point in the champions league last year!That is such a Troll Football way of thinking. Wow.You do realise it's 17 not 7, right?You do remember Costa played so little in our CL campagne so far with Drogba and Remy rotating places, right?You do realise Costa would score many against those teams we had in our group, right?Buy yeah, sorry, he has to score from the bench! He has to score whenever he moves a muscle in his body on and off the pitch! He has to score when he's asleep! He has to join this forum and score in each thread! What a lazy bastard!

ZOS 580 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Brana has been amazing for years, Even JT said it tonight post match! Brana's goal and assist stats are brilliant. he has the odd bad game defensively.you claim Ivanovic drops in to the box to help clear out crosses, yet, tonight, it was Azpi who was doing that more often.... look, they had Cavani and Ibra, who was winning every single aerial battle against JT, in the box most of the time. The only way we could avoid conceding was by shutting the flanks down and blocking their crosses. I love bane as much as the next guy here, but he just isn't doing much in that regard all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1988 1,356 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Same old European performance by us in the knockout stages it seems.Shit tactics.Men against boys.Everyone looked off the pace.Someone needs to light a fire under their arses at Stamford Bridge but I have a bad feeling that we will try to nick it 1-0 and end up conceding, as per.Worryingly nobody fixed the defensive lapses time after time Ibra/Cavani were left to waltz into the box, thats just not Chelsea.

You're speaking as if we scored an own-goal. PSG had 4 players in the box when Cavani scored, they were pushing for the goal. It was an inch-perfect cross and an excellent header. Terry/Cahill didn't pick the ball up and throw it into our goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
