We're making far too many hospital passes ... player receiving the ball is in immediate trouble ... 

Look how slow and predictable our passing is even in their half. You can't score like that.

So so half. Started well and fast counter attacking looked a good ploy. Then we stopped doing it and they came back into the game and scored (are we ever going to?) 

post that some individual errors and complete lack of movement upfront.

kovacic been a passenger in midfield for me too

Kante has had four different managers in his last four games. Quite the record

Calling 3 of those managers is a stretch

In a sense that he has being our best player every game. Hasnt being very influental in this one yet.

How can he? He's not Messi, he cannot go full speed and dribble through midfield and defense, he is constantly trying to find open spaces for his teammates but everybody seems to be disinterested.

well it could be a lot worse

I wonder if we'll score again this season.....

Fofana is struggling, but given his age and inexperience in these big games I'm not surprised. 

Anyone watching on BT Sport; I do Joe Joyce (the boxer on that adverts) garden. Useless information but there it is. 

Just outplayed. Sometimes you just have to accept they are better than us!  No blame on Kepa for the goal for me. Just poor defending. Kepa couldn't do much more than he did.

Kovacic is lost in amongst quality like that. Rabbit in the headlights. 

Lampard surely thinking of hooking Fofana. On a yellow and having a poor game as well.

We need another body in attack. I don’t think we need 3 midfielders, Kovacic was really poor. Has been for a few games, take him off for an attacker.

To be honest I expected worse. 1 - 0 isn’t terrible, if we play better in 2nd half we should have a decent chance of getting something.

Chilwell and Reece need to get more involved. Chilwell knows Koulibaly can't hack it so is playing within himself so far.

We don't know how to gamble in the box.

No ones got a deck of cards...that's the problem

So glad I’m not watching this 

it makes me want to puke the way we play listening on the radio is bad enough 

I think we still have a good chance. Madrid scored a lucky goal. 

Get Fofana off for Mudryk and hit them on the counter. 

We have to take Fofana off, he's a tackle away from a red card

While we're at it take Kovacic and Sterling off too.

Everytime I look KK is completely lost and messing up the shape of the defence. Not that Fofana is doing himself any favours either but at least he's got an excuse of lack of experience. 

Havertz and Mudryk to come on, then hope Havertz somehow changes the game. 

Our chance happened when Felix was through and unable to outpace a cb and then shooting straight at the snake.

Lucky not to be further behind. Outclassed, Out passed, Out moved.

Rubbish. Real Madrid are well on top and will be frustrated that they aren't going in 2-0 up. We had a good 5 minutes, wasted the chance we had (no surprise there) and created one more chance that Sterling never got a foot on from close range.

Should really had Sterling through on goal as well. Kante made a huge error not playing him.

He is a big bastard. wouldn't want to pick a fight with him

Another disappointing half no goals and lucky only to be 1 goal down . Midfield 3 doesn’t work back 5 apart from Thiago looks shaky up front sh*t again please can this season end

I thought KK was our best defender in the first half. 

Can someone tell Reece James he’s not playing walking football.  Looks like he’s still sulking cause nobody got on the end of his rubbish cross.

This Geordie on CBS sports is so annoying.

- Koulibaly is just not up to the task of playing for Chelsea.

I think we need to reevaluate what the task of playing for Chelsea requires players to be up to. The standard across the whole team/squad and the performances and results suggests the level isn’t very high any more.

Really am surprised we’re not dead and buried yet tonight. But we are terminally ill.
