It's sad that we didn't qualify but nonetheless I am soo proud of this team. They went out with their head held high. Even Alonso put in the best shift of his Chelsea career today. He was immense. Shame his goal didn't count. Our pressing was relentless.
Mendy really improved his distribution today and showed his strong mentality with those short and long passes in small spaces.
Mount, what a brilliant goal and yet another assist!
Kovacic was a behemoth in that middle and kante did try with his pressing up front and shadow marking.
James was his usual bullish self, even in an unfamiliar position.

We got everything right until the last 10 minutes.

I'm really proud we have a coach like tuchel. I believe that given more time, Tuchel would mould Chelsea to become as strong a unit as the very best teams in the world. The future is very bright.
Now let's go win that fa cup and nail our 3rd place finish. Up blues!!

Actman05:
I remember when oga Roland said never write off TT in big games, the man's good. One of the best things to happen to the club in a while.

Tuchel remains one of the best tactical minds in modern football against big teams and in the big stages.

Tuchel will always have my respect irrespective because the man is great student of the game when it comes to coaching/ tactics.

donstan18:
I’ll say it again.

Tuchel isn’t tactical.

His ability to read games and switch is too poor.

So overrated.

Just shut up!
You talk too much and carelessly

User09:


Allow them to keep chalking his poor game to fasting when some of us has spotted Kante's decline for a while now. The guy say na energy requirements

Rudiger who was an animal all game and had one of the best performance in the team is also a Muslim and would have most likely been fasting. Like say na today Kante just start to dey play ball while fasting. This is someone in his 30's ooo

Let me tell you a joke, Last season, same tie with Madrid, Guess who was fasting, Guess who won MOTM in both legs . Not sure there was any energy requirements at the time

Absolutely no value in having a conversation with a person who cannot admit when wrong.

When will you man up and quote me. Always talking from the side. Fear fear nigga. I dey bite?

Rudiger does not play the same position as Kante. If you played football, you will know that centre-back is the most restful position on the pitch with plenty recovery time while play is going on further up the pitch. How foolish to compare the non-stop requirement of midfield work with a centre-back.

Swear to God we would be talking of playing extra time if your jogger was on the pitch instead of Kante.

If Kante is finished, we will see it in his stamina. I expect you to bring out his sprint statistics, point out his numerous failures to keep up with play etc, not pointing out atypical errors. Is Kante chipping ball to the byline on the halfway line a typical error. Is it typical that a player who has a pass cut out at that position will somehow lead to sumptuous pass and a goal? 99% of the time, that missed chip leads nowhere. I tell you what I care about in that situation, I care that Alonso could not keep up with Rodrygo. Why? Because players will lose ball on the byline a million times and it will lead nowhere, but I am guaranteed to see Alonso not keeping up with an opposition winger before the next 3 games are complete.

Is Kante losing concentration and letting the ball run across him into an opposition player for the 2nd goal (probably unaware that the opponent was behind him) a typical weakness in Kante game? How does that make him a liability? If you even view that ball from the correct angle, he let that ball go because it was heading in the direction of RLC who should be favourite for that ball if Camavinga didn't have fresher legs.

When you criticise, criticise with sense, with an agenda of making the team better. None of the two goals scored today is a repeatable weakness in Kantes game. And when you talk of decline, you talk of physical decline. If a player is out of form on his technique, does not make him in decline. A 30 year old can be off form technically same as a 20 year old. The Kante who pressed like a mad man today, who made Salah give up a chase on counterattack just two months ago is nowhere near done. If you even check well, I'm sure Kante completed most sprints today with Werner. Even when he saw RLC won't get to that ball for Benzemas goal, he sprinted back and overtook Reece James. Pic below. Stop forming Einstein with stupid takes.

What is a repeatable and incurable weakness you should worry about is your jogger pressing at snail pace, unable to keep up with play, escorting players and being unable to drive with the ball, the type that made us feel we were outnumbered in the first leg. I GUARANTEE such weakness is inherent, repeatable every time, and incurable, and that's what I care about, not anomalies.

Singapore1:

i can't believe i'm even reading that from people, like there is better player than kante in that midfield

These Leprous fingers dey vex person I swear. Imagine a Kepa and Christensen stan calling Kante a fraud. Where did these Leprous fingers appear on Chelsea thread from?

Exonerate1:
Kante fucking FRAUD. Carried Jorginho my foot

donstan18:
Tuchel failed you.

I like this pic

Nothing to troll here, Chelsea did well but just couldn't hold on till the end.
Maybe Lukaku would have score a hattrick last night....

If I bite you eeh

I wasn't happy Havertz didn't convert that free header.


Oh, Pulusic should be held down by 4 hefty bouncers and his scrotum shot with a pump action and then stripped of the number 10 jersey

I expected TT subbing on a defensive minded player on for LFC after the 3rd goal to assist James in keeping Vini at bay. Same Vini ended up assisting Benz.

We played well, raised hopes and then dashed everything away in the last 11mins.

donstan18:
Rudiger, James, Kovacic and Mount.

Only these 4 deserves to be with us next season.

The rest needs big competition.

This guy Dey always crack me up

Well said. Jorginho, Christensen and Pulisic are the weak link in this chelsea squad, they have to be replaced if we really want to compete with man city and liverpool. First leg was where we lost the game but the boys gave account of themselves yesterday. I’m proud of them.

Which kind excuse be this?

For all I care the ref had a very good game yesterday, almost all his calls were the right one.

How the ref laughing with Ancelotti come take affect outcome of the game bayi?

Bottling a 3-0 lead.. rlc should have been moved to the middle to match camravinga strength..kante was disastrous, at some point baba go run pass ball.they kept breezing past him over again..anybody defending kante because of chip loose balls, can defend this govt because they've had a slice of the pie..
Kantes decline is evident in the team..show me 3-4 games(in a row or not) he has literally dominated this season. Lets not talk about that agbaya pulisic, ogun should hunt him in his dreamz..the game plan was near to-perfect. The better & more experience team won..hoping the lads can build on this & get better.

Good morning to everyone whose team won at the bernabeu

You tat couldn't defeat villareal over two legs go and collect your good morning from chukwueze

This is not an excuse now

Tuchel got a yellow and he was expression his outrage .. nothing wrong there

We weren't leading by 3 goals
It was a goal lead we lost haba

I can imagine if joginho was the one that attempted that chipped pass or he was the person that was in kante's position for the second goal .agenda for agenda

drisham:

But he deserved the yellow now; the ref didn't just dish it out to him out of the blues.

KingAlabi:
Bikeman howfar?

Izzou how you dey alright?

You don't shock me anymore at this point.

Raumdeuter, how was your night? Imagine Villarreal knocking you out. And you were making mouth some weeks ago calling us the weakest team. You couldn't even win any leg, LMAO

Mendy is average.

popizaino:
Anything can happen in football but I will be surprised if real Madrid beat man city.

City should first get past ATM

Kante is tired the earlier some of us realize this the better he needs a rest and replacement, Jorginho Pulisic, Barkley, Lukaku and Alonso should all go.

Suppose they outplayed us and won, it wouldn't have hurt this much

But I guess we deserve it for all the years we played poorly and managed to steal a win against teams that played better

At least this week, they wouldn't force feed us with mount trash I will take solice in that thought

The less said about kante the better for my health


No reason to be mad, we outplayed Madrid and we should be proud of the team

We need to get a combative midfielder next season.

Someone in the mould of kante.
He is getting old and depreciating.

Go all out for Declan Rice or tchoumaini.
Declan rice more preferable.
I don't care how much it costs.

And sign up Tuchel and rudiger on long term contracts.

Havertz10:
I like mendy, he is an excellent goal keeper, a good shot stopper, good presence in the box but he isn't elite

Doesn't have those extras that make a goal keeper truly elite

I will call racism out if I see it but mendy's absence in that list isn't racism

These awards are mostly built on hype and he doesn't have the clout or ability to justify his placement

I know that my assertions will offend people but it had to be said before you make a mockery of truly unfair racist decisions

called it

To win another champions league in the next two seasons, we need to get a Declan rice or tchoumaini to make that happen.

And pls don't ever sell Timo fuckkking Werner.
He has his magic.

I would also like us try Levi colwill and Conor Gallagher next season.

If they prove to be ready, then the better.
Gallagher's relentless pressing would be gold in the champions league.

If not, then get another defender to replace Christensen and send Levi and conor on another loan.

Havertz10, Donjazet, Ibime, Blueraydick, Raumdeuter have you read the exposé on Flutterwave by Hundeyin? If yes what do you make of it?

Last season fixture it was hazard laughing with his former colleagues after losing.
Someone must be releasing laughing gas in the 2nd leg of these fixtures
