65% possession for Schalke so far this half...

by rwo power Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:02 pm

Possession is of no use when you don't do anything with it.

Drogba inches wide!! Mad

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:04 pm

1-1

Huntelaar

That would be the typical Jens Keller charm - whenever he is about to be fired, some good result turns up from out of nowhere XD

Oscar coming on for Ramires

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:12 pm

Schalke much the better side here. Almost embarrassing when you consider the state of their squad.

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:13 pm

This is gonna be Basel all over again.

by rwo power Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:14 pm

Well, there are still 20 minutes to go.

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:16 pm

Remy and Costa coming on. Thank god.

It's only going one way atm.

Hopefully the introductions of Costa and Remy change things in our favour...

by rwo power Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:18 pm

o_O That was close!

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:18 pm

Remy's shot off the line! Mad

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:23 pm

10 minutes to salvage this trainwreck...

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:24 pm

Sporting take the lead against Maribor

by rwo power Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:25 pm

Now it looks only a matter of seconds until Chelsea score -_-

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:26 pm

So close from Hazard

Not from my end...

Ralf Fährmann :bow:

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:27 pm

What a save from the Schalke keeper.

by Shed Wed Sep 17, 2014 2:33 pm

3 mins added...

So this was not as bad as I expected. Funnily Schalke lost against the weaker teams (including a third division side) in the last weeks, but they managed to draw against the big guns.

FT: Chelsea 1-1 Schalke

Shockingly poor. Held and outplayed on our own patch by a side with three quarters of their players crocked. Team doubtless went into it arrogantly thinking it was already won with all the Schalke injuries with José guilty of it as well bemusingly starting a depressingly useless and decidedly past-it Drogba over Rémy. All around cluster**** of an evening.

It's a good thing that the draw happened this early. I hope that Mou realize that we really need to step up on defense.

I know that we have been winning by outscoring our opponents the past few games. But we can't go on conceding goals every now and then.

by Kick Wed Sep 17, 2014 4:53 pm

It's not as bad as you're making it out to be, Shed.

Sure it's 2 points dropped, but we're no worse off, and we learned a lot from today.

Cesc is a liability in defence, Drogba is past it and should not start, Costa cannot play 3 games a week, Luis is a fantastic option and Ramires is finding decent form.

While I was annoyed at the result. We'll push on and get out of this group and our players will be largely rested for Sunday against City.

Not all doom and gloom.
