It's not about the result. Only the ignorant ones think about result. It's about how we played. We didn't play well and created almost nothing. We got lucky here with 1-1. We need to learn from this game and we need to improve otherwise we have no business vs better teams. If you don't learn from these games you don't learn from anything.
You call people who see things differently from you "ignorants" .. well I call people who see things differently from me "fuckers". Just saying. Are you a fucker?

My God, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome. Once again sterile possession but we got lucky with the goal.

We suck at set pieces and in the air so the opposition just have to sit back and pounce when we make a mistake. Attacking we looked toothless defensive wise we looked shaky. The sad part is Chelsea weren't even great. They were ordinary. We barely fired a shot in anger before the first goal.

We need the possession as a form of defence because if we have the ball teams aren't running through us.

We don't have the creativity to break teams down either which is why it's sterile. We have Messi and that's it and he has 5 players around him.

In football you need pace, guile and creativity. It says a lot that Hazard and Willian offer far more than anyone other than Messi.

It is time we embrace some modern football and become an all round better team. No shooting from outside the box, no aerial presence, just passing.

People were slating Williams when there were rumors linking us to him but he looked world class out there. Actually was direct and shot when he had the opportunity.

I've said it before this is an aging side which needs an aggressive influx of quality players. Suarez, Messi and Co are feeling the effects of age. We also need more power and directness in our play. A team like Bayern would have beat us by 3 goals.

My point don't just look at the result, it's what a fool does. It's about how you play the game and what you deserve, everything 4lse is up to luck and randomness, that s life..

We deserved to lose this game and Chelsea played great tactic vs us. Very unlucky to get 1-1.

I just still can’t understand how we could give Willian that much space to shoot. Several fucking times! Did they learn nothing from Dybala last year?! Replace Willian with Asensio, James, Dybala, De Bruyne etc. tonight and we would be in need of a PSG-like comeback right now. Absolutely unacceptable. I’m furious.

They were all marking Hazard and forgot about Wilian. And they gave him chance after chances, absolutely unacceptable

I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea beat us. Even if we do go through we'll probably lose another qf. Just can't understand why we're so one dimensional. These problems were there even when our team was at its peak.

I'm just having fun. Personally I agree with you .. focus on what you can control which is: the effort you put, the planning you put, the preparation you put ... Etc. Winning or losing, there are many random factors that contribute to that.

That was awful, just awful, its so easy to defend vs barca, joke of attack, suarez alone up there and messi far behind, when suarez have the ball he is alone vs 3 players, same with messi, S. Roberto... just please put him in midfield and bring semedo, paulinho is really showing how barca throwed 40m for nothing

Top teams in the CL all know how we play , everything through Messi and hundreds of passes around the box till we lose possession. Theres no chance we are winning this trophy this year.

Conte controlled us in convincing fashion. Trully a very good tactician. That said tjanks to their defensive mistake we are pretty much 99% in the next round.

we're exacly like in 2013. Absolutely no idea how to attack.

We just pray Messi does something otherwise we're dead.

Spot on. What a sad, sad state we are in. A competent manager would have done something about that. So predictable, nothing changes, it is that slow signature passing the ball around while standing and passing the ball to Messi game. This is not Barca.
