I thought starting three at the back was a risky decision. I do not understand why Josh isn't playing more. I think Palmer was awful again, but Enzo was also poor and he has been playing well recently. PSG got their tactics spot on by going man for man.
We got lucky against Brentford when did the same thing against us and they ain't no PSG. Some small pluses, Hato did ok and despite losing out on an important tackle I thought Santos was good. Hope the Chalaboa injury isn't as bad as it looked.

Let's be honest, over the two legs, we were terrible. Someone has to be called out for this, whether it is the owners, SD's, players, or coaches.
Goodness knows what this is going to do to the players for the remainder of the season.

We will be okay. Highly disappointing result (thankfully I was celebrating St Pats and missed the game), but we will still finish in a Europa League position at worst. That would be a failure of a result, but a likely one currently.

Bill, I remain convinced that if it hadn’t been for a mad 15 mins in Paris, last night would have been a lot different.
Last night, I thought they did a number on us going man for man. They won all the 50/50s and took their chances.
It’s probably me, but if we make a mistake, we are always severely punished, but if the opposition make a mistake, we never take advantage of it. Probably blue-tinted glasses at play!!

70 minutes into the away leg I thot Chelsea were the better team, with smarter combinations & slicker patterns of play. PSG's goals were given to them. Chelsea's goals were worked for. Then the wheels came off. Often, when a team takes a beating of 3 goals plus in the CL, it is not so unusual for them v very good teams to draw or lose the second game.
Last night Chelsea were awful in all aspects of the game. But, imo it will take a good team to beat PSG. I also think that result might signal the end for LR. It looked bad for the lad, & I truly think he drowned in it all. But the SDs do require a reality check. The team needs a GK, two CBs, & a CF, & all of them need to be at CL, if not WC, level.
