Ziyech is useless. should be replaced at half time for anyone

Is Madueke part of CL squad?

No. We were only able to register 3 of the new players. Him and Bads missed out.

If we could shoot!

ziyech with the most lazy pass ffs. sometimes he seems so lackadaisical with the passes. 

One trick pony. Cut in and cross with left foot, on very rare occasions it works out.

Apart from a breakaway our build up play is so f**king boring; too many touches, walking pace and just as well telegraph where the passes are going.  Felix unlucky but both chances should have been buried.   Dortmund have had their chances too. I guess if we come away with a draw Potter will be happy....after all he's always happy with a draw 😏

Away goals no longer provide a tiebreaker. So really the first leg is the first half of the tie. That being said missed chances are a problem no matter when they occur.

I know but a win at home and we advance.

Yeah what the f**k have I just read from others. He's been class. 

Some people just need a reason to complain

In other thoughts Arteta has to be the biggest idiot around.

Unless its less than 10 yards out no one dare take a shot...been like that for years, certainly since Frank retired anyway.

Despite missing two golden chances it’s clear as day Felix is a special player, we need to do everything we can to sign him this summer

RLC has been surprisingly good to be fair. Not sure why people complain about him so much. Ziyech has been ok too. He had quite a few key passes.

Good first half in my view. We should have scored 2, but we are Chelsea so that’s that. Still, I’ve seen a good half and that’s an improvement.

Pretty much how I have seen it.

How he gets game time I can never figure.

I didn’t fall asleep but the yawning has started. 

What a difference. No shots on target from either team. But the game being played at a high level of tempo and intensity. No pointless square balls along the back line. Thoroughly entertaining half of football.

Love Felix. Should have scored twice but what an entertainer. Great player and makes others around him play well. We must sign him. Please.

Dortmund were always going to create some chances, the way they play practically guarantess it, but we have defended well, especially Thiago Silva again. Going forward, we have been as wasteful as ever. The two chances for Felix should have been goals and some of our passing and control of the ball on the break has been very poor.

You say that but in the recent matches he played he did everything by the book and is only without a single assist due to our poor finishing.

Ziyech offers absolutely nothing to this team.

No-one really on the bench who can come on and make a difference. So I guess we';re stuck with Ziyech and havertz for the 2nd half as well.

Ive seen progress in our play, especially our defending, we just need to work on our finishing.

His position is not flashy. I think he plays well, reminds me of Mikel. 

I am normally upset with us missing chances but we will definitely get more chances and I think we might end up with a score draw.

 

Also get the ball to Mudryk let him run

I would suggest that he has been given instructions to sit in the middle and allow Enzo to go forward, because he has rarely gone over the half way line.  His strength is running through the midfield (when he's on form) otherwise he's a traffic cone and doesn't offer much creatively or otherwise IMO. I'd rather see Gallagher in there today to mix it up with Bellingham etc.

And he would have an assist if Felix scored but yet again Ziyech is being made a scapegoat!
