Shocking display. Not to take anything away from Porto, but we never looked up for it.

Fabregas will never work alongside Matic, and with the ease that players are taking the ball away from him, the number 10 role will never work either. It looks like he's just lost it completely. I have no clue why he's even allowed to take any set-pieces or corners either. His crosses look about as good as Ivanovic's and his shots go straight into the wall. Let Willian take the free kicks. He's shown he can do something with them.

Ivanovic looked shit again, but really, the whole defense looked poor. That's mainly on them, but it's also because of the 2 back midfielders giving loads of space for the attackers to work through. Pedro, while trying, isn't a defensive type, so Ivanovic isn't getting any help when there's play down his side, and Zouma is too inexperienced to properly help him out.

Hazard did absolutely nothing again. I was hoping him coming on as a sub would let him play a "super sub" role, but that never materialized. He looked the same as he has all season.

Jose mourinho slashes outr at defenders... Mourinho is really out of his mind, he first starts an unwanted row with the medical staff and now with players. Seriously his screen presence is getting embarrassing to look and listen to

They were awful. Aboubakar made Cahill look like an amateur. Zouma lost Maicon on the corner, Ivanovic was Ivanovic. Nothing wrong with criticism, though it's also his fault, he needs to drop Ivanovic.

Told you guys Porto were no joke. Aboubakar is class. Brahimi and Neves as well. They have a team that can go far.

you was talking talking about your mexican boys who didnt even start, i was the one who mentioned not wanting to see Ivanovic up against Brahimi. We were lucky Brahimi wasnt 100% fit.

Go back and look when the groups were first drawn smart guy. I've know they would be a tough team. They didn't play, but i dont see why that is relevant.

We're a shambles of a team. In every facet of the game. Embarrassing in defense, non-exsistent in midfield, and our attackers can't even get the ball most of the time.

We look like a shell of the side that played last season. Just totally dominated by Porto and we would've conceded 4-5 were it not for Begovic. That's about the fourth time we've had to say that, too. We look like a totally spent force in so many areas.

Willian and Costa looked decent and Begovic saved us from an embarrassing score line. Fabregas and Ivanovic terrible again. What happened to Pedro? After his flash on to the scene here he's been poor or anonymous more often than not. Totally out of it like everyone else in our team.

May sound like hyperbole, but we seriously will struggle to finish in the CL places playing like this.

Are the players just not responding to Mourinho's directions any longer? Can that be the problem? This season has been inexplicably shocking. Something seriously wrong and concerning.

Preach on brother. There is something much more sinister at work here than all of the players waking up suddenly out of shape and forgetting how the game is played. There is something seriously wrong, which is more than obvious because it is the same story over and over. No improvement from one game to the next. The back line is not even a leaky bucket, it is like trying to catch rain without a bucket. Could have lost 6-1 tonight easily.

As I have stated before, I will always support the Chels and I'll be there watching again this Saturday, but there are major problems in the locker room. Jose needs to sort it out quickly. We all love the guy for what he has won at Chelsea and will always be a legend, but he clearly has no answers for this group.

Oh, how I long for the days when we could only complain about Fernando No-Score-es! Those were the days :D

Hell, I'd take Torres over most of this current lot.

Do we miss Drogba and Cech's leadership this bad?

Come on you Chelsea!! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

I'm not for a second saying Drogba and Cech didn't have an infulence in the dressing room but its worth remembering they were both here when we went on relegation form esque runs like this in 10/11 and 11/12.

Yeah leaving a outburst like that in press is dumb. You have a problem in the house discuss it inside the house not in front of the onlookers.

Besides you are achieving nothing slashing your players, if anything it makes matter worse.

Same thing happened with Eva.

At least it looks like Arsenal won't even make it out of their group! 0 points and Bayern Munich in their next two games...

I think it is crucial we start backing the English teams in Europe. It would be quite a disaster to lose that 4th spot back to Italy.

So Jose 'showed some balls' by benching Hazard and Matic, but during game went into coward mode (or admitted mistake) by bringing them back..

To be fair, Hazard was always going to come on regardless of the score. Matic possibly too.

Nope, not going to happen. Maybe losing the spot will wake them up to how bad the English clubs have been in Europe.

Absolute joke of a performance again. Ivanovic once again gets arse raped, is selected in the team to start, yet Hazard, who hasn't been great, but is our most creative spark is fucking dropped. Another result you could see coming a mile off this, and the only bright sparks being an energetic Willian who actually looked like he was the only one trying, Begovic who kept us from conceding about 7 goals and Costa who looked a little bit like a striker.

The rest is history, another shite performance.
