Dinamo Zagreb 1 - 0 Chelsea

[cosmicway 1,333]

No movement off the ball, movement of the ball at slow pace, inaccurate passing when the pace gets fast.
How do you expect goals, by whom and how ?
The exact opposite to Real Madrid whom we eliminated easily two seasons ago.

We were so poor it was unbelievable..

Then what happens he brings on Ziyech who actually made us worse.

That's the last I want to see of him, I don't care where they dump him, can't believe we never got rid of him to Ajax.

And what about this little snippet..

The Croatian champions have a woeful record in this competition - winning just five of 43 games before this meeting - but they stubbornly held on after taking a first-half lead.

Just about sums us up🥵

From Ziyech Tuchel was expecting some long range shots. He did n't find space.
Early on it looked as if Dinamo was nothing, they were making defensive mistakes too. After they scored with Fofana beateen for pace everything changed. We were woeful for 77 minutes.
We were not good enough for old fashion press either - only three corners,

Ziyech totally bullied Reece from that kick.

 

How does a guy such shiite pull rank against our best player?

Reeces face summed up everything that is wrong with Ziyech. He is an arrogant little fucker who's ego way surpassed his ability. You could see in that very moment there are fractions within the dressing room and I do imagine Ziyech is a becoming a problem. This is what worries me about TT, is he blind to what the problems are on the field and off them too?.

* You can see that sort of football from Chelsea but only if we chance upon some really inferior opponent or not so inferior a few times but on their worst day.
From midfield downwards the Chelsea team needs to be rebuilt.

Has to be said but Koulibaly is not looking good at all. Second to everything.

Most shocking of all the transfers to me.

Especially after all the good things we've been hearing about him prior to his move.

Looking like a dud and not the leader we were expecting. Looks like he moved to England to enjoy his retirement.

If Tuchel has sense, he would bench the guy and give Chalobah a chance. At least at his age, Chalobah can improve.

I was against signing him at 31. We also gave him 4+1 years.

4+1????

Fuck...that was an amateurish decision. Wouldn't have happened in Roman's watch.

Can't blame Boehly because its his first year, and tbf almost everyone thought this was a smart signing.

I blame KK more than anyone. The guy seems to be phoning it in.

Pulisic and Ziyech just downing tools and play for themself. So obvious 

We should have allowed the both of them to leave and retained CHO.

Dumbass decision to keep Pulisic especially. The guy only cares about the USMNT with the WC approaching soon.

something is definitely going on behind the scenes, the players can’t be this bad, its the same bs happening again, revolting against the manager.

I think Mason Mount is the biggest clue here.

Something is wrong with the kid to play with so much disinterest as he has in the past 7 games. Granted he's not the most consistent, but you could see him put in the effort in games..

This is an unhappy dressing room atm.

For Tuchel's sake...he needs a miracle and a couple of big wins (same thing I suppose) to turn this shite around.

I cant believe we thought William was a frustrating player, then we went to buy Sterling...I mean, he is one of the most selfish players around. He is always trying one extra dribble, instead of passing the ball. 

Ballack and Lampard never won a UCL together, while both Mount and Havertz won 1 creating a great goal in the final, and  I will always be grateful for that. However, everytime I see both put their usual lethargic, anemic and passionless performance, I do miss that old english-german duo.

You couldn't be more wrong... Our problem ATM is pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass nothing. We need more players like sterling running at defences trying to take ppl on, as it stands we are far to easy to defend against.

Pass-pass-pass and no spaces open.
That means there is no movement off the ball.

Another counter attack goal, I mean WTF is going on.

Honestly the only highlight were those cream tracksuits...

Give the guy a break. It's a new league. He needs to get used to it and will improve. Silva was just as bad when he started. VVD was not good when he started playing for Liverpool
