First time in 20 years of watching football i see system 5-2-3. Roberto must be smoking some serious weed.
 
Thought we did alright until their second deflection went in, completely killed us. Hopefully Shakhtar do us a favour, even though they're already through.
 
Well that was quite a beating, i bet it was Torres who put up RDM to play in this revolutionary 5-5-0 formation!
 
Ok I admit that Torres is better than playing with no striker. Also Tyton is slowly starting to resemble Darloegeorge reborn ;)
 
Well we lost last season on matchday five too and we went on to win the CL. And anyways at least Man City will not make it through as well ... Anyways all we can do is win the last game and hope for the best. Tough group so no shame in bowing out tbh although it is going to be embarrassing being the firs European champions to leave the CL in the group stages
 
Dont think it mattered who was up front tonight. Chelsea did not track the midfield runners tonight and they had a field day. 3-0 didnt flatter Juve at all.

Hey, i've always been saying that Torres plays ******, i just think Chelsea problems seem to be more complex and wont be fixed just with replacing one striker with another. You really got slaughtered today. It would be quite awful to blow 60m on Falcao and still struggle. I'd just recall Lukaku and look for another improvements. Making bizzare tactical changes is a sign manager might be on the edge, i wouldn't be surprised if RDM will look for new job at January, so why not try Benitez who always had special relationship with Torres.

A performance like that would never of happened under someone like Ancelotti... still baffled why they let one of the best coaches in European football leave.
 
Because Ancelloti is not really someone who is suited to build a team long-term. AVB perhaps was but he got sacked. Not sure about RDM although he has done nothing so far that shows he can't. The best coach out there is Pep who I have a feeling is the one Roman really wants....

Relax mate I was joking.
 
On another note just ordered Pep's book over Amazon. Written by Balague I believe so it should be good

Disastrous game really. It was so bad I don't even feel sad lol
 
Ignoring the whole manager sacking thing right now but I've just thought....

Is Huntelaar not out of contract soon? (if he is) Surely he would be a very realistic option to consider?
