A memorable and fun champions league campaign, something unthinkable not too long ago. I’d be lying though if I’m not quite worried about that performance second half. Yes you’re against one of the best teams in the world but the manner of the collapse was horrific. At any level, the lack of leadership and overall mentality to steady ourselves would be alarming. We didn’t do the basics - keep our shape, defending crosses, slack passing etc.

Insane that all(?) of their goals are the result of shite set-piece defending and unforced errors.

Perfect preparation for the derby then. Players going to be absolutely shell shocked.

There is imo a mentality thing where we concede a barrage of goals quickly and / or concede after scoring. It’s like we’re not switched on.

Wouldn’t play Thiaw on Sunday. Not sure if it’s a concentration issue with him.

So subdued second half, no belief or heart. Not sure why? We played well first half.

I’m really frustrated about this have to say. Feel like we’ve absolutely pissed away the match through soft shite defending.

Conceding from set-pieces against Barcelona, not even giving yourself a chance really

We haven’t made it easy for ourselves coming out second half. Not able to keep the ball, no outlets to provide options.

Surely someone is going to put in a horrific leg breaking challenge on Yamal at some point soon.

Every fucking time, last kick of the half. Idiots man

Think Ramsdale should save that a bit cleaner tbh

Sensational Dan Burn.

Need some kind of leadership on the pitch with marking. It’s utter shit every time they have a dead ball kick.

Definitely something in us that switches off immediately after we score, time and time again this season

How can you let Barca score a set-piece goal man. Bloody hell

Big Joe winning the ball off their two players at the very start of that move

Wow what a move that was!

Need to be much better at keeping the ball, going to be knackered by half-time at this rate.

Chelsea would actually have been better off with a transfer ban when BlueCo took over and being forced to play their academy talents for a couple seasons. It’s obscene how bad their transfer business is from a footballing perspective.

Such a solid away performance last night. I didn’t really feel like we were hanging on, managed the game well and we had the outlets to keep the ball ticking over. Gordon’s off-the-ball work was sublime. He has everything, which makes it even more frustrating that he seem to only show it on the (big) occasion.
