Well of course they score.

Brilliant tactics again by this club

Are our attacking players afraid they'll be dropped if they don't attack. We always sit back.

We have closed pool down all game

*havent

I didn't see that coming at all!

Well..... I take that back.

Thought Mikel and Ramires had done a pretty good job of shutting out spaces in front of the back four.

Well we will certainly have to attack in the 2nd half

It is sad.
Why retreat and sit back after scoring. The players and Jose just let it happen. Where did their energy go??

How anyone enjoys watching how we play in every matchday and still defends tactics employed amazes me.

Why an extra 30 seconds of the already long two minutes of extra time ?

There were no players down with injury in that half.

You got a fair few of them on this board. The tactics are horrible. Doesn't let full back or mids attack. Left with hardly any players upfront. Instructs players to sit back or doesn't do anything about it. He can see what was going on but did nothing! So tells me he was perfectly fine with it.

That was the first free shot they had in a central area in front of the defence.

But you're right that they've generally been poor in attack - however, whether you attribute that to their impotency or our defensive structure is more down to opinions than solid fact.

We quite clearly still have issues in defence, but haven't been conceding clear cut chances with the same frequency that we've seen in previous games.

Saying all of that... We're going into half time having conceded a goal. So Mourinho's tactics of low block defence and narrow/deep midfield to cut out central spaces has failed to stop the flow of goals.

Seriously, it's getting utterly ducking pathetic now.

Hazard has cocked up every attack we've had and never tracks back, he's always ambling around, he's plssing me off every single game...

I'm at the ground and still good reception for Jose, I'll be so plssed off if we lose and sack him...

And it hasn't been nice to watch either but I essentially gave up on enjoying watching matches after January this year.

After all, it's only the winning that matters right...?

Only player earning his money is Willian and maybe Azpi. The rest are total cowards.

Yeah. We should be lucky Jose is managing us. Stop moaning.

Yeh, Hazard has been disappointingly poor today. He's lost possession more times than I can remember.
