Wow DiMatteo lol, so tactical inept. The players he selected had potential, the way they were told to play; shocking. How can u go 65minutes without making a change, then taking off a winger for a winger. Makes no sense, game was crying out for another CM player to come out and shore up the middle of the park, but instead makes stupid changes. And then doesn't even make a 3rd sub.

4-3-3 seems the only way Chelsea can play the best with system wise. When we play that we can get the best out of Ramires! So i want to see us play that more.

If he continues this kind of tactical changes when a game has started, he will lose his job.......Was the same vs QPR, two games in a row and 0 reaction from our manager. It's started to get annoying. Roman has less patients than me!

And wow Pirlo had a bad game! Must be tired from the Summer still, but he was looking so old!

He's won you a Champion's League. How ungrateful can you be.

Well I think everyone can agree it wasnt exactly tactical genius that was the reason for Chelsea's successes late last year

He just let the players play the way they wanted to play and things worked out. It was always going to be a problem going forward but winning the CL kinda means you cant really get rid of him either.

Making decisions when you have a good team with greater expectations is significantly harder than when you have a weaker team and the players for the most part pick themselves. Its been evident on the European stage this season so far.

Chelsea were second best today imho.

I come home and I remember CFR Cluj is playing tonight. I don't care about romanian football, not even that much about CFR Cluj. But there is a player that has heavily impressed me for what he has done against FC Basel in the UCL Play Off this summer. His name is Pape Amodou Sougou (or Sougou, simply put). I see that tonight after Braga - CFR 0-2 Sougou assisted the scoarer for the first goal. But minutes after he suffered a heavy attack from 2 of Braga's players, and now he's in neurosurgery.

I am SO SOSO mad. Against Basel he seemed to be the next best player up and coming player this year , and now this :-((

So sad I am.

It seems that he's ok, although it was a head-to-head contact between two playesr. He's only got a minor abdominal concussion or something. o/

I bet we will see some incoming money transaction to Wolfgang Stark's bank account from Manchester United. Skipping 3 obvious penalties against Galatasaray can not be explained, let alone all the positions being pretty much the same. 3 times, Manchester United defenders kick the foot right after Galatasaray strikers take control of the ball, no penalties. Thanks Wolfgang Stark.
