****, so unlucky.

cowboyBuilder · 29-09-2015 8:56pm

ahhhh well hopefully that post will fire them up !

cowboyBuilder · 29-09-2015 8:58pm

ffs , what kind of caveman defending is this??!!!!

tigger123 · 29-09-2015 8:58pm

Bring on Hazard.

McDave · 29-09-2015 9:02pm

Willian the most committed CFC player on the pitch.

Johner · 29-09-2015 9:13pm

This is embarrassing.

McDave · 29-09-2015 9:14pm

Defence completely at 6s and 7s.

cowboyBuilder · 29-09-2015 9:14pm

Jesus !!!

This is like Athlone Town v Carlow

McDave · 29-09-2015 9:15pm

OK. Time to motor.

LightningBlue · 29-09-2015 9:16pm

And Ivan misses a free header...

Ivan 2 years ago would have buried it !

grumpymunster · 29-09-2015 9:23pm

We could have conceded 6 tonight we are a total and utter shambles

LightningBlue · 29-09-2015 9:26pm

Fabregas and Ivanovic shouldn't start again in the foreseeable future. They've been toxic.

cowboyBuilder · 29-09-2015 9:27pm

AH JOKE !!!

cowboyBuilder · 29-09-2015 9:28pm

HAHA and Barca get 2 in 2 mins ... what a JOKE of a competition, Barça have it won allready ... joke

McDave · 29-09-2015 9:28pm

Fabregas has nothing to offer really. At least Ivan offers some composure.

McDave · 29-09-2015 9:31pm

Passing generally has been dire. No shape to this team.

Johner · 29-09-2015 9:32pm

Robbed of a peno.

LightningBlue · 29-09-2015 9:34pm

What the **** is the point of the 5th official. It was a handball 4 yards away from him. ****ing joke

A pointless job in the end, isn't it.

Still, we didn't really deserve a result. Too many players in this team are running on empty. Hazard went awol. Is he looking for a January transfer, or just not playing for Mou anymore. Something stinks.

GavRedKing · 29-09-2015 9:40pm

1 word, disgraceful.

I said it earlier, weve no fight until its nearly too late and again, it was.

Should have had a last minute penalty but we didnt deserve a draw.

Had Costa handled, the official would have picked it up! :pac:

We didn't.

Obvious solution, drop everyone but Fabregas and Ivanovic.

Killinator · 29-09-2015 9:42pm

Well that was shockingly bad, are the lads aware they're supposed to pass to team mates and not the opposition?

Willian the only one with any go about him, Costa did his best with what little scraps he was given and Dave was his usual self. Nothing to be said positively for any of the rest of them.:mad:

redman85 · 29-09-2015 9:45pm

Branislav Ivanovic has won 0 of the 7 tackles he's attempted vs. Porto so far tonight.

:eek:

Not playing for Mourinho is how it apprears. He took an almost team and turned it into a championship team and turned them into a mediocre team. 6th from bottom of the league and playing like this? It's going to be a long long season.

Give the keeper credit too. Pedro again was useless. Mikel should be behind RLC for any game time. At what point will the special one wield the axe. Terry froze out but was not as bad as Ivan and fab.
Oh well they have to turn it around. Well here's hoping

Sorry, your right, Bego should get some credit, especially dealing with the hap hazard mess in front of him.
Imagine, he signs for Chelsea expecting to win stuff and this is what he gets :rolleyes:

GavRedKing · 29-09-2015 9:49pm

No oscar remy or falcao in the squad either.

Best chance of silverware is the domestic cups.

We're f**ked everywhere else really.:o

If it goes on like this for four more weeks, we'll be out at the group stage, and still in the lower half of the table. That means a clear out in January, or Mou goes, Klopp is in, and we're on the manager merry-go-round forever.

grumpymunster · 29-09-2015 9:52pm

Cannot understand the team selection. In fairness to Cesc tonight he did more defending than Ivan. I can only assume Ivan has some very incriminating photos of someone as I am at a loss to explain his place in the squad no mind the team.

I keep waiting for signs it is going to turn around but the shambles just gets worse, pop RLC, Traore, Baba II in on Saturday how can they do worse?

Europa league might be our best chance of CL next season, might have some chance of winning that.

redman85 · 29-09-2015 9:53pm

Wouldnt mind if Ivanovic woke up to this in the morning

Nah. Any Spanish team along the way will beat us.

LightningBlue · 29-09-2015 9:56pm

The only players to emerge out of that with any credit were Begovic, Willian, Azpi and Costa.

Terry has to come back in at the back as the organisation is completely missing - even if it means shifting Zouma to right back as a stopgap if Rahman isn't "ready".
Ivanovic needs to dropped. Full stop. He's getting targeted by every single team and failed to complete a cross or tackle tonight.

Centre Midfield is a ****ing wasteland at the minute.
How we didn't go out and pick up someone like Imbula or Witsel to add a bit of steel alongside Matic is bizarre.

Fabregas can fcuk off at the minute. He trots around and doesn't even attempt to put a tackle in. Even his passing was woeful tonight. We'd be better moving to a midfield 3 with Ramires, RLC and Matic/Oscar till we get through the next few weeks.

Willian has to start at the weekend instead of either Hazard or Pedro. He's the only one with any real drive or form in support 3 at the minute.

Costa was very good with the limited supply of ball he got all night. He looked the sharpest he's been since last January. The quick interchanges with Willian from the left created some nice shooting chances for him.

Lukker- · 29-09-2015 9:57pm

Something that crossed my mind, the whole Eva thing, I doubt Hazard would be extremely happy about being in the middle of it all. She effectively lost her job because he gestured her to come on the pitch. He probably feels guilty and I think it may have soured his relationship with the squad, I actually think it's soured his relationship with a few of the players. No one is playing for him atm, bar 1 or 2.

If that's the case he should man up and apologise. Haz has nowt to reproach himself for did nothing really, but we were dire in pre season too don't forget

If there is any truth in this then Jose is to blame. Might explain a few things alright.
They all need to get a grip, man up and start playing ball. Will they for Jose though?

Crackle · 29-09-2015 10:06pm

The positives from that would be Begovic (proving to be a fantastic signing), Azpilicueta as usual, Willian and Costa were good.

It's been said numerous times already but I'll chime in, how in the **** are Fabregas and Ivanovic still in the team? Whatever concerns he has about Rahman or RLC surely they can't do any worse than them.

Also, would putting a man on the post have stopped the 2nd goal tonight, or the 2nd at Newcastle?

Pyjamarama · 29-09-2015 10:07pm

If Chelsea don't sort themselves out they'll end up in as big a crisis as Liverpool...

You guys just haven't got going this season. If only you could play Arsenal every week.

grumpymunster · 29-09-2015 10:13pm

The most unforgivable thing about this evening is it takes all the joy of Arsenal losing in Europe yet again

Seriously, better to go out early in this joke of a comp now then later,

Should be called the "Barça to win this cup" cup ...

Interesting last paragraph

"Alienating your chief lieutenants on the battle field is a recipe for disaster for any general and as a result of his catalogue of mistakes this season, Mourinho has left himself horribly vulnerable. "

Nalz · 29-09-2015 10:22pm

How was Ramires tonight?

And why isn't there a match thread?

phobia2011 · 29-09-2015 10:22pm

We miss Didier Drogba. not just he's goals either.

Why so? I always find that a source of joy. Your opinion may differ but that does not make it valid.

The game was balanced apart from two mistakes

I must have watched the wrong game as I thought we were a shambles and could have lost by more.......

Nonsense. He had no idea the situation would escalate to the degree it has. Mourinho seriously over-reacted to that incident. Hazard indicated to the referee that he required treatment, the referee beckoned her and the physio (?) on. How Mourinho came blame her or Fearn for that escapes me. But it's happened, and they've got to move on. They strolled to the league less than 6 months ago; they're not suddenly a bad side because the doc has gone.

It is not nonsense, it if a fair point that that could have affected Hazard's morale, no one is claiming it has resulted in the side suddenly being bad, do you think its too far a stretch that Hazard could have some empathy or a capacity for human irrational emotions?
