Closed Chelsea 2-2 PSG

[Adnane 1,101]

Nothing serious ?

That's serious dangerous play.

[Adnane 1,101]

Okay, maybe not reckless, horrible, worse, because he goes with the intention of hurting him.

Thanks for your normal comment,

I think Courtois, Azpi, Matic, Hazard would easily get in to your team. We also have Filipe Luis (benched) who is better than Maxwell. A young Terry would be the best defender of our teams. Cesc is more consistent than Pastore. Costa and Zlatan are about equal at the moment due to his age. David Luiz made too many mistakes here, that's why he was replaced, our Zouma is already better than him and fits your style of play. We only miss David's spirit in big games.

Courtois

Azpi Zouma/Marquinhos T.Silva Filipe

Pastore/Cesc Matic Matuidi

Lucas Zlatan/Costa Hazard

As Chelsea fans obviously we are disappointed to not beat 10 man at home, but some overreacted here. We already won the league cup and have the league title to play for, with 5 points more than the no2. If we win the league this season would've been a fantastic season.

Good luck too with the CL and ligue 1.

I don't know about Luis souvenir at Chelsea but look what he's doing for us. Zouma - come on ... that guy has high potential but he is a kid and was in Saint Etienne last year...he will need a few years to gain experience. The time it will take for Zouma to qualify you in big games ...

Overall I think the moreI can go is that we are equal and in the game we have seen. Players bought with Russian money are as good than the one bought with Qatari - paris played and should have been qualified way easier. I see much more future in existing Paris players. But might be wrong.

Plus in your team, you're forgetting the best player of the 2 games : Marco Verrati. That player is incredible. Hopefully we can keep him.

Yeah normally I'd say JT instead of Zouma, but don't think the current JT fits in your system.

And about Verrati, he should've received 2 red cards in the first leg, and 1 in the second leg. All he did was kicking our players, he's indeed a very talented player with great future.

But if you need to choose a player with a killer pass, would you rather have Pastore of Verrati?

I think these are 2 different players - Verrati being more defensive. Would associate them 2 with Matuidi and Motta and build the PSG midfield .

Look at their stats - usually that talks.

Pastore is a really frustrating genius. Can do amazing things and one minute after he misses the easiest. Verrati is the best player I have seen at PSG since ...Arteta at his age / position. I ll hope he'll have a better career. Yes he has a big character but he is 21 and he would be playing in all the squads of all the world. Real / Barca are pushing to have him and is already estimated at 80 ME. Our qatari dollars will help hopefully to keep him!

Regarding the referee - agree that Verrati was close to the red, Honestly I think the referee has been totally weak for the second leg for both parts (Ibra didnt deserve to be sent off, Verrati has been complaining, luiz against costa, penalty on Diego Costa was clear, Diego Costa should have been sent off too, Matic potentially...) - I just think the best team won. Arrogantly and in a parisian manner

More surprising than the result today is the fact that this Ici Ci Paris Prick hasn't been banned yet.

Are the mods pulling a Fabregas? Where are you guys?

Sorry, I forgot we got paid to be on here 24 hours a day, cycling through every piece of dirge that's posted when we don't a game It was posted in the dead of night, I'll tell you where I was - in bed!

I also chose to go to bed this night too......I slept like a baby whilst people were posting by banging their fists on the keyboard and bumping threads of bringing old players back

Like a baby? Has Zlatan been slagging the Mods off as well, Mark?!

There were mods online, though. Think that caused Chelsea Legend 11's confusion.

Talking of Zlatan, has anyone else notice him in the new Barclays advert with Alan Shearer?

I wonder if we would've won the league last year if we were knocked out in the round-of-16 of the Champions League, instead of the semifinals. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise to make sure we buckle down and cross the finish line in 1st.

For the record, just because we are online on TC, doesn't mean we are actually on TC.

Fair point, but it says we're online when we've been active within 60 minutes! Ergo we can be "online" but in reality we could have signed out any time in the previous hour.

Just saying, we can't be everywhere at once

But the twat has been banned twice now. A shame PSG fans can't be more magnanimous/mature about things!

Totally understand that. Just thought I'd give you our peasants' perspective

hey fellas don't get your panties all up in bunches I was obviously joking. I found it all pretty humorous actually... I don't know how any of this "moderation" stuff works, nor do I know the inner workings of this particular site.

But this does raise an interesting point though, perhaps there is need for a mod who lives on this side of the globe? I mean does it really matter if one more member who is up when you guys are sleeping like babies has the power to stop trolls from seriously making a bad day at the office detestable?

I don't really take the jargon online that seriously since I will definitely give it as good as I get it but maybe its something to consider?

Probably a mistake in my registration - am french based in ... Indonesia and long term Paris supporter. Totally agree we are still far from Real / Barca / Bayern and from POV they are stronger than us - but not Chelsea.

Agree that you had / have good teams in the past but at this moment now I really think objectively that we have a better team. Look how the ball was going from feet to feet - you need solid technicals skills to achieve that. Drogba / Remy (far from being in my heart as former Marseille players) being your options once Diego Costa (who is definitely not Aguero / Suarez or Rooney -)) that is not great...

Congratulations to you.

Your team could and should really finish us in the first leg. Even though we were 2 times like 6 minutes from qualification I wouldn't be overly happy. Chelsea for me is not ready for Europe. We would need a 2012 luck to reach the final. Our manager is clearly pissed off of some players who lacks character when big moment arrives - I expect important changes in the summer. If Jose will get more of his players, we will be better prepared for that challange. BE READY. To be honest we didn't play any of the big match the best way. We always let opposition to have final big chances at the end of the game. We can't kill game nor hold on lead without letting opposition getting their chances. In matches like PSG this season we scored usually from a set piece or some isolated situation, taken out of context of the match. We have pretty big way to go to play the manner we want. We lack intesity, proper pressing and playing accurately at a high speed when we counter-attack. We are ruining so many half-chances with back ward passes to kill a good counter-attack. But I hope we will get there.

To be fair my combining PSG - Chelsea XI would look like this :

Courtouis

Azpilicueta - Thiago Silva - John Terry/David Luiz - Filipe Luis

Matic - Matuidi

Veratti

Lucas Moura - Eden Hazard

Cavani

We're really even I think.

Good luck for you in the quarter-final even though much will depend on the draw. I predict that neither Chelsea nor PSG stand much of a chance against full flow Barcelona, Bayern or Real Madrid.

Oh, and congratulations for bringing Rabiot on at 81 minute when you needed a goal. We have often discussion here about youth and how to bringing them to the first team. We have one of the best Academy in Europe but not a single player got to the first team after JT 17 years ago. I can tell you that a chance that Mourinho would bring a youth player from Academy to help him score a goal in that moment is very very slim.

We have a legal team built properly. You have a team that was illegally assembled and was sanctioned by FFP. Your team lost the title to Montpellier and are now losing to Lyon even with all the stars you bought illegally.

We have a good base of young players who didn't play their best on the night(perhaps due to fatigue? we play 4 games in 10 days when you guys are on holiday) In no way do I think you guys have a better team, you were better on the night but that's about it.

Good luck to you in the next round.
