I know Steaua are good at home but the performance was terrible. Torres should be fined a month's wages for that. No desire at all and was **** all game. I know it is only the Europa League but I'm absolutely fuming. Rafa is absolutely hopeless. He should be sacked in the morning but he won't be. This will continue... If we go out to United and go out to Steaua he should be sacked. Not one player played well tonight. Tactics are all wrong. We just stay on the half way line! We don't press them to make mistakes and we let them play. I really am upset about this because it's just another performance which we have to watch and the board will do **** all about it. Shambolic
It's getting tougher and tougher to be a Chelsea supporter. There's hardly a sign of the football or expectations we all had at the start of the season. How the Management could cause this to happen is proof positive, if it were needed ,of the complete lack of ability in our Board to do anything correctly, morally or sensibly when it comes to football . Totally, utterly hopeless, and should do the right thing and resign, they are a disgrace to the Club they should no longer represent.
I know I hung up my boots 40 years ago, but I reckon I could have still put us in the next round if I'd have been selected ahead of Torres!
It'll be the same on Sunday. We'll sit back and not even look at attacking. Soon as they score one it's game over.
Thought Steaue were brilliant, showed passion, chased and fought for everything. They didn't offer much in the final third but we never looked like scoring either. Even when we were chasing the game there only ever seemed to be 1-2 players in front of the ball at any one time meaning it was so easy for them to nulify any attacks. Mikel and Lampard in the middle again....and we lose again. Seriously when will Rafa learn?!?! Torres was 1 step forward 2 steps back. I disagree about not showing desire, he just showed lack of skill/confidence. A few times he made some good challenges or went passed a player to then miscontrol or put in a poor pass to lose possession again. It's actually quite sad watching him play; complete shell of what he once was. We are still in the tie thankfully but no away goal will prove costly. I can see a 2-1 win at ours and out on away goals. Our season will probably be over this time next week; baring fighting for 4th with Arsenal. Serious, serious work needs to be done in the summer starting with a manager who will go out and win games not just look to nick them 1-0 on the break.
