I have a feeling Torres will be completely obsolete next half

Will be a very hard second half.

We need a fresh player there, like Demba Ba.

I'm glad we conceded now instead of at the dying minutes. Hopefully we can go on to outscore them

Gutted.
Fair play to them though. They're a phenomenal side.

FT: 1-3
Better than us all over the pitch and well, well deserved. Will be backing them in the final.

Great performance by Atletico and a great couple of saves by Courtois.
Shame about the result but hopefully with a better striker and Matic, we'd come back stronger next year. Good campaign though!

Got what we deserved tbh, wasn't a fan of that starting line up.
Either way maybe a lesson learnt for next time with trying to go for an away goal.

Re: UCL · Semifinals · 2nd Leg - Chelsea vs Club Atlético de Madrid
I'm gutted, I can't even sleep right now
Every time I become hopeful and believe in our chances in the CL it always ends like this. The only time we were succesful were when I didn't really trust our side (CL 2012) or when I didn't care that much (EL 2013) I guess I never learn
What can I say about the match? It's easy to blame Mou right now for his tactics in the first leg or our team selection in this match, but would it be fair? I doubt that if we played more open in Madrid we would have scored, we wouldn't have kept a cleansheet for sure. We had a lot of ineligible midfielders so playing D. Luiz there was inevitable, we could have used different attacking players but imo Azpilicueta wasn't that bad when he played in a more advanced role, he even assisted Torres for his goal and besides, we just played a huge match at Anfield last sunday, I'd say Mou knew more than anyone else who was more ready.
I think we just weren't able to convert our spell of dominance in goals, we just weren't able to keep the lead, we just weren't able to react immediately after their goals, I wouldn't say we bottled it but we weren't able to cope with them tonight.
Congratulations to our players for our CL campaign so far and to Atlético as well.

Re: UCL · Semifinals · 2nd Leg - Chelsea vs Club Atlético de Madrid
That equaliser, and its timing, killed us. The opening goal set us up perfectly on the night to force them to come forward and attack us to stay in it and we could sit back and break on them, and when it was cancelled out so soon and on the stroke of HT, it messed everything completely up. Second half they were just completely, far and away the better side all over and well, well deserved their win. Mourinho completely outdone by what's probably the closest thing we've seen to him, since him.
No complaints from me.

Neil Ashton (fwiw...) says JT was not fully fit and played with a pain-killing injection in his ankle, and that contracts for both him and Frank will be announced by the club at the same time imminently.

I think for an unfinished/unbalanced team to reach this far in CL is a great achievement. Chelsea surprised many people.

Well overall I think we should all realize that we got a pretty straightforward group stage, followed by galatasaray, and so on. I was a bit disappointed with our formation and starting ix, but either way atleti seemed built to face off any opposition with lots of energy.

I am really not that surprised with the result. I'm actually more surprised that Torres scored a goal.
I really am not expecting the team to go to the finals this season, actually, I think we overachieved in the CL and the PL. Given that we're being plagued by injuries recently and we don't have a Striker that Mou wants.
We need to make sure that we get the right mix of people and bounce back next season.
