Chelsea 2-0 Dortmund (Aggregate 2-1)

Also inadvertently just because we’ve won, can see people maybe starting to get excited/Potter in. I wouldn’t. We aren’t out of the woods yet. Not even close.

As we seen after beating Milan twice earlier in the season, things can change. Plus bits of performance has not convinced me that we are going anywhere any time fast. We will play better teams than Dortmund, who over the 2 legs still had plenty of good opportunities to score against us, so lets see who we get and then go from there. A proper proper top team would of killed us over 2 legs but we also had plenty chances to score also.

Be back to the same shite at the weekend now wait and see.

What are the odds that UEFA will pair us with our lovers Benfica?

Getting on a run requires confidence and hitting the right teams at the right time. Leicester may help us get a run going.

Well thats the thing, what good is it beating Dortmund if we cannot show up against lesser PL sides? Fair enough beating big teams is good but to make progress we need to perform consistently every week and beat every team in front of us. 

Thats why I am wary of thinking we will turn any corners under Potter, he will probably have felt we were underdogs going into this tie despite having a superior squad. Wait and see back to usual v Leicester because we will crumble being favourites. This team is still very very fragile as we seen in periods tonight before and after the goals.

Can't agree with the Jude hate, good player, tons of ability, he's not a 'great' player, word is overused but he's got all the tools.

agree

look at the decimated attack in terms players he was trying to feed

and Salih Özcan in MF had a shit game, so he had to play deeper than normal

Dortmund's best attackers were all missing as soon as Brandt went down, other than the ageing Reus

Haller is pants

Bellingham is not Sancho 2.0 at all

[TheHulk 1,429]

Well done to him, let's see how he does next match.

Pretty fortunate but no one’s going to complain much tonight.

Defense coming on so if some of these overpriced attackers can get hot, who knows? Let’s make another run…

Personally think he suits the European games better than the PL ones. The tempos slightly slower, not quite as quick as the PL but he did do pretty well tonight along with Cucurella. Still consistently doing it now has to be the key. He was decent in the first leg v BVB too tbf to KK.

He was amazing today. Unlucky with 2 posts even first chance possible penalty. He is not number one goalscorer tho. Don't expect that from him.

Looks like someone got butthurt.

i agree with the cunt that the penalty kicker should not be allowed to stop mid run. was not allowed years ago, dont know why they allowed it again. 

 

benfica will own us if we are paired.
