Have the Chelsea lads all quit?

Have the Chelsea lads all quit?

A lot of errors tonight and punished every time.

I thought Willian was superb.

Giroud looked like someone picked up at the Red Cow Roundabout.

They got no breaks, but Barca just so clinical.

Chelsea could easily have won over the two legs and Barca look very beatable these days. Messi looked as good as ever but I'd be confident City would take them.

They had a go, that's all you can ask

They had a go? they were bate 3-0!

This have ago attitude and being hard to beat debate is a theme now it seems, rather get hammered 3-0 but at least have a go seems to be the way forward.. If you manage a team you have to work out the strengths and weaknesses of the other team, not just go out lads and give it a lash, sure if you're bate then at leaset you died with your boots on..

Lets see how many titles you win with that idea, its fine if you have the players and squad to do that, Chelsea very recently were beat 2-1 by Utd after going a goal up! why it seems going to Barca and giving it a lash would be the best approach is beyond me..

Utd though have went ultra defensive and ruined a very attacking team, whereas City have the right mix of tactics, forward play and defence, but the midfield control the game. Pep also studies other teams I'd assume..

Chelsea had enough play but allowing Messi space is madness, I got in late last night forgot the match was on and was going to have a £5 bet on Messi to score first, 3/1 he was but ended up starting to make dinner, remembered went to phone and the match had only started about to hit the bet and the screen closed, messi had scored!

It was individual mistakes that cost them at the back, Courtois especially. Up front they were unlucky with hitting the woodwork in both legs. Willian could have done with more help from the surprisingly poor Hazard and the less surprisingly poor Giroud.

Chelsea fairly spunking the rubles...supposedly deal with Havertz and Thiago Silva done, Chilwell to follow and already having spent a 100 odd million on Werner and Ziyech

Edit...the title could do with a wee update!

[GetOverTheBar]

Few ones giving off about the cash they spent but sure they got just under 180 million Euro from Hazard and Morata....they could spent even more considering the City FFP carry on and the fact they didn't spend last summer.

The year before last they spent 200 euro, last season although with the transfer ban they still spent 45 mil on Kovacic, then this summer will be close to 300 mil  (Werner 53 mil, Ziyech 40, Havertz 100, Chilwell 80?, Thiago Silver ??). Half a billion in 3 years is mad...even saying they have brought in over 200 mil in sales

[rodney trotter]

They'll need more then Thiago Silva and Chilwell for the defence.  Silva a good player, but 35, wether he'll adapt to a premier League. Defence was their real let down last season.
They are looking to offload Kepa, so an improvement on him would be needed in nets .

Tammy Abraham will be well down the mix with all the attacking options, after starting last season well.

Attacking options will be Tammy, Giroud, Mount, Werner, Ziyech, Hudson, Havertz, Pulisic...even Barkley...theres a lot of players to keep happy

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Id say Giroud will go. Surely Hudson Odoi who wasnt happy before this influx will have to go to get playing time.

Some good players on paper being brought in anyway...
