Closed Chelsea v Dynamo Kiev

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

Fucking dive. Sort it out mate, stay on your feet and make it 2-0

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

yet again no penalty given

edit: it wasn´t a penalty, it would have been too soft

1000% Dive.

Michael Owen is a complete and utter cunt "surprising that Fabregas felt the need to come out publicly and support his manager". Surprising is it??? When he was starting to be touted around as the one that knifed the manager? Not really Michael, not really.

Oh, and Jose needs to stop the theatricals with the penalty claims. Costa took a dive, he may have had a finger on him, but he took a Tom Daley.

[Azul 1,615]

Fucking Costa just HAD TO DIVE! The lad just needs to SHOOT, why is playing so bad?!

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

Diego is clearly shot of all confidence,

In Form Diego SHOOTS in that situation!

[ulvhedin 508]

Fabregas is looking good tonight, he is definetely not in form to play deep right now, however tonight is playing like proper 10, and sometimes false 9. I like it.

[Simon1991 231]

Ok that's it Costa, I can't take it anymore, FUCKING SHOOT instead of diving...

[Craigus 23]

Owen was worse in the Liverpool game, had me actually shouting at the telly.

Costa looking terrible

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Prime example of what confidence can do to players: Matic completely anonymous before the goal, absolutely brilliant since.

Now a couple more goals to bring that confidence back to the attackers. We were well due a bit of luck and frankly we needed it to score today!

[Johnnyeye 7,445]

We need to spend the Hazard money this summer on a proper World Class striker. Send Costa back to Atleti.

Unfortunately Costa is becoming a liability, getting banned and not scoring goals as he farking should be doing. I wouldn´t be surprised if he left, but i would really like for him to succeed here at Chelsea, because we have all seen what he can do when he´s focused and in his groove. Cheers

it wasnt a penalty but clearly wasnt a dive,

[raven8472 32]

Went down like a sack of spuds , Costa supposed to be a beast but looked like a light breeze would have knocked him over there.

Should have been 2-0 if not for the dive.

[Adnane 1,101]

Ridiculous dive, should have scored, now the game's stil open...

Anyway, decent first half, not much movement as I would've predicted with such lineup but we look really solid in the back, pressing when needed and not allowing the opposition negotiating balls inside our box.

Excellent performance by Baba, I've been one of those who criticized his defensive contribution but he has been absolutely complete today, Oscar ( as predicted ) is the one protecting his spot when he rushes up.

Could've been a lot better had we been a bit more clinical in front of the box or Costa taken his chance, no time to moan, GET IN !

[Pizy 18,419]

Fantastic team performance. Attack, defense, and midfield all played very well.

Matic and a Cesc much better, Baba doesn't look as shit scared as he has, and the defense look solid. We don't look conceding, really, but we certainly need another goal to avoid panic later in the match.

[Johnnyeye 7,445]

1000% Dive.

did you read my edit statement? after replays i saw it wasn´t a penalty

[Changingman_2000 876]

I hope he proves me wrong, I really do, but if it was down to me, Costa would be gone in January. It may fuck his confidence up, but with integrity and all that, I would love Jose to do a Tony Pulis and come out after the game and say "I thought at the time it was a penalty, but I have seen it again and it is clear that my player fell too easily, and that is not acceptable at this club".

Two chances of that happening, slim and none, and slim has just left town.

[BlueStorm1003 539]

it wasnt a penalty but clearly wasnt a dive,

It wasn´t a dive. Costa just wanted to see how he could slide in the grass tonight.

Mate it was a blatant dive

[DYC. 7,542]

I saw Willian on the wing and thought 'oh no, he's doing the Willian (stop, burst to the right and put in a useless cross) again'. I'm sure he's done that move about 300 times in his Chelsea career and it never works. Now he gets an own goal out of it. I guess that's what they call persistance.

A fantastic player until he reaches the business end of the pitch.

Once again playing with a false 9. You can't play with a false 9 with 9 outfield players whom pretty much always maintain in positions behind the ball.

Cesc has been good. The criticism he's received in recent weeks was unfair imo. He was already improving his form. Only midfielder in central position with technique.

Matic has been pretty good too but his job is easy today.

Meh performance. Maybe it's just me but I could feel Kiev's vulnerability from the very start. Normal Chelsea would've beaten this side by three goals and it would've been treated as a normal day at the office. 1-0 now but they could easily equalise. Need more goals to secure the win.

This is the first time I've seen Mourinho's family at a game. Is the Mourinho camp seriously pulling out the emotional card haha? Maybe I've just failed to notice them before.
