The Official Thread of Chelsea FC

Absolutely shocking stuff from Chelsea there. I can't remember a Mourinho managed Chelsea team playing worse.  Luiz was a walking disaster.

Hope they bring same form into Stoke game Saturday.

I think Stoke would bate both those teams!

I think Petr Cech could have saved that Javier Pastore goal. Chelsea missed some big chances tonight and will do well to win this tie now.  Mourinho is still doing well with this Chelsea squad, in fairness they aren't anywhere near the level of 2005,06.

Cech should have done a whole load better on the Luiz OG as well. The ball bounced 2 yards out FFS, he should be coming out and taking it rather than allowing the defensive line to get so close in where it becomes a lottery like it did.

I can see the lad on loan at Athletico Madrid getting the No1 jersey next year as he looks to be the real deal.

Even with Ibrahimovic out I think PSG will have enough, although the lack of a scoring threat by Chelsea could be their downfall. They'll need Eto on at least.

Mourinho picked a team without a striker...a defence...and a goalkeeper!  A midfield with Oscar, Willian, Hazard, Schurrle, and Ramires was hardly set up to park the bus. Luiz was woeful, played like a pub player.  Cech was poor on the 2nd and 3rd goals and seemed rooted on his line a lot of the time.  I'm not sure what the tactics were.

Torres is finished, Eto'o was only ever a stop gap.  Chelsea need two world class strikers.  Who they are and how much they will cost I really don't know.

Fair play. Maureen does it again. Hard not to like him.

Not really. 

Well done Chelsea though. Great result.

Real Madrid against Mourinho in the semi final?

11 v 1? Hardly fair

Head circumference is pretty similar (if Pepe doesn't start).

I think the two semi finals are either side of the Liverpool Chelsea game.

[Shrewdness]

That doesn't mean that Chelsea will concede to Liverpool, does it? Mourinho is a winner and still hasn't given up on the Premier League, despite what he says.

I thought PSG were a bit like Man City. Not enough experience as a group at this level.

Yeah, they don't really impress as a unit (yet). 

Two cracking games last night - have to admit I watched the second half of the Dortmund game; they were unlucky.  It's extraordinary what that club has achieved recently.

Apparently their wage bill is lower than QPR's!!!!

Yeah but QPR have a crazy wage bill.
