Utterly disgusting performance right now.

by Shed Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:26 pm

Basel have created more chances in the last 10 minutes than we have the entire match.

Terrible.

Dismal.

Glad I'm not watching this, I'm fuming at this, we have the easiest draw and the strongest squad, yet story of our lives continues....

by Blue Barrett Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:49 pm

Shit. Everyone. From top to bottom, including Mou. Completely shit.

by Kick Wed Sep 18, 2013 9:54 pm

Yeah, don't know who to blame for this, Everyone I suppose.

Hate to say but we have had 3 loses in a row and a draw before that, and before two scrappy wins....

by Shed Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:38 pm

Technically Bayern was a draw but your point stands. Been a very poor start to the season in both results and performances.

by Uncanny Wed Sep 18, 2013 10:41 pm

This is basically rafa taking a shit on us, Napoli beat Dortmund.... And mou looking lost

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho takes blame for Basel loss:
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8929042

"I am the manager, I am responsible for everything."

"Especially after a bad result. In the good moments I want everyone to shine, in the bad moments I want everyone to keep calm."

"Tomorrow I will not wake up with a smile on my face but at seven o'clock I will work hard to get three points at Fulham."

"In the next match we go to Bucharest, we have to get the points to put us in the Champions League. We don't want to play in the Europa League."

"I not in shock because sometimes we win, sometimes we lose."

"I am not happy of course with the result because instead of taking one step in the direction of qualification, we did one step back, but we have to assume the responsibility that we have five matches to play in the group phase."

"I think they played well. I think in the first half they defended well because we had a lot of the ball but could not create many chances."

"Oscar scored at a good time for us and then I think they scored their equaliser at our best moment of the game, after we had a couple of good opportunities, and after that we were punished defensively."

Unfortunate, the way people overreact is hilarious. We'll still walk the group.

by Shed Thu Sep 19, 2013 5:43 am

That exactly what people said about this match after the Everton loss....

What do people expect? That we'll win every game and every trophy? Unfortunately that's not going to happen, we'll have some disappointments. In the grand scheme of things we're always going to have a few hiccups but I still believe we can have a successful season.

by Shed Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:05 am

Of course we could still have a successful season and of course we can't win every single game, but that doesn't take away from the fact that we've undeniably had a pretty poor start to the season.

by Uncanny Thu Sep 19, 2013 6:52 am

Optimism is great, but we are playing like shit ever since the opening game, except the bayern game where we did push on for something, we cannot string more than three passes

by Soul Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:14 am

Yeah we were really good in the Bayern game. Players look lost after that match though

by Kick Thu Sep 19, 2013 8:20 am

To be fair, the Utd match we started without a CF and we were unlucky not to win at Everton. Today was our worst game imo.

Yeah take todays result out and while it's not optimal I don't think it's the worst. Last season we were the only team out of the top 4 to get a result at Everton, it's not an easy place to go and as you said we were unlucky.

Hopefully Mata can finally shake the muscle problems and get back to form.
