The CL is supposedly the main attraction for.many players, the big competition. How come pur players could not be motivated for for opening game?

Not sure motivation is the problem here. 

 

because they came out with an aditude as this game was already won before it even started.

they underestimated the oponent heavily and this belief got even stronger in the first 12 minutes when we were bossing them. but then came a shocker and our players just crumbled, vanished in thin air. you could see Dinamo played their socks off meanwhile ours were parading around as superstars with fancy flicks.

to think that I wanted to go to Zagreb, but fortunately website crashed in the 1st minute tickects were on sale, alleluia.

Obviously we are set up to play teams who don't bother to defend.

Only to get on the pitch to find the bastards are actually defending deep and parking buses too.

Can't blame the manager for not having a Crystal ball . How's he to know ?

He can anticipate and develop a plan B, even a C and a D. It's his fukking job.

Well that is damaging in our race for the Europa league spot, Zagreb now have an advantage on us...

Very much reminds me of Jose against Rosenburg and Robbie against Juve. Team looked half a$$Ed. They don't appear to care or want to put a shift in.

Credit to Dinamo they worked hard for it but we made it so easy on them with our dull, insipid football.

Todd and Co must be worried and probably angry. A lot of money spent and this is what they are seeing, and will have concerns not only about us being in the CL next season, but making it out of this group now 

If Roman was in charge and the axe had no fallen already, I am very, very sure TT would be being sacked tomorrow.

After the events of the last few hours, this post aged like fine wine.

I agree this match had similar vibes to the others you mentioned in your post.

Attacking Prowess 🤣.

The fact is our attack is so impotent that teams just play deep to draw us out of our half then hit us on the break. They know we have no playmakers to penetrate down the middle , we  only cross and Insha Allah but have no physical presence in the box. The main problem with our game is our transition play. We get the ball and just hold it till the other team sets up defensively then we pass for passing sake with no peneration. Even city who have better attacking midfielders push the ball foward and dont just try to pass around a set defense.

If Roman was still our boss Tuchel would be fired and rightly so but we have new owners and its a new Chelsea so lets see what the future holds.

I've got a feeling Roman is still in charge. Spending millions and sacking managers , it's got his name all over it

I wasn't actually being serious, I got another lengthy reply too. Comes to something when we are so bad that piss taking actually looks to be the truth !
