Which site is this?? I want to see who wrote this drivel and what the person would say about Kante, cos from what I'm seeing from all the sites, statistically, jorginho was one of our best performers yesterday. He scored higher than many other players.
As a matter of fact, jorginho was even rated higher than modric, So where is this rubbish coming from? Share that website, let's see something. If jorginho is rated 5, then kante should be rated 3. Only havertz was rated higher than Jorginho.

The assist boosted his rating.

We should look for an upgrade next season.

After he has scored the hattrick you said he should come and score,you still expect people to take you and your beer parlor analysis/ikpeba style punditry seriously.

Lol.

This is the 2nd goal
This is the moment the ball left Modrics leg

Can you see who was detailed to mark Benzema and how it ended

Ibime said it is Jorginho's fault that Modric pinpointed Silva's man. Honestly, by Silva's standards, he was shockingly poor yesterday.

Benzema is the difference maker you ask for in games like this, it's only an uninformed person who will call him mediocre player for 14yrs he's been doing his thing and he isn't showing any sign of regress.
Chelsea need a massive clear out, too many system players in the squad and there is a limit to what a coach can do to remedy players with glaring deficiencies. I remember being called names for suggesting that Kante should be sold and replaced with a robust DM sometimes ago, this is the sort of reasoning behind our struggles in this part of the world we allow emotions to overrule our judgements then look up to the skies for succour when we don't get the desired results.
The tie is not over until it's over. The guys should go all out in the second leg and attack Madrid like wounded lions as there is no point in hiding when you are 2goals down already.

Courtois is better when he is focused as he's shown in his title winning seasons with ATM, Chelsea and Madrid.

Courtois is a far better GK than Mendy

Courtois have been a world class GK for years

Courtois is a better keeper overall, Mendy has had a great past 12 months but not on Courtois level yet, don’t expect anyone to support the snake here though grin

Don't make false statement. I blamed Silva but Jogginghoe was also washed by Modric in the build up

You said it all, so many system player. Kante is still good but need a robust DM beside him. We lack a clever long passer from midfield. A proper winger that can help Havertz upfront. I have never rated Christensen, he can’t withstand intense game, easily subdued for a CB is not good, Pulisic too. Tuchel using his tactics to hide their flaws which is good but not sustainable at the long run. With the new owner we should be looking to build a formidable team that can compete with the big clubs both in possession and other statistics.

Where was Kante in that move?

Jorginho was the man on the scene

Kante went for the press on Kroos

And let's not forget Rudiger either

Don't know what happened to us this int'l break...on a run of 12 wins in 13 games - only loss came via penalties against Liverpool - and suddenly we're dropping shockers back to back.

Silva, Rudiger, Mendy, Kante seem to have lost form.

We have to wake up from this slumber. And quick, too.

One thing I noticed yesterday is that KCM had more space to operate than they did in the SF last season. They always seemed to have a spare man somewhere in the middle.

Another dilemma is who will be tasked with marking Vinicius next week, assuming we stick with the back three. Chris is almost certainly out of the picture, Chalobah could fare better but considering his recent tendency to make rash decisions, he might not be ideal against someone like Akpororo. Azpi lacks the pace. James fared well against him in the second half and perhaps presents the most even matchup, so Tuchel may use him. But that means sacrificing one of our greatest offensive threats, and we're the ones chasing the game.

And like I said, that Federico Valverde is a problem.

Anyways, we have to turn attention to Southampton cos another slip up and we'll be sucked into the top four battle.

Form is temporary while class is permanent. Mendy is in the conversation for the best GKs in the game due to his performances in recent years but overall Courtois is a class above him.

Forget bants, forget the resentment many Chelsea fans hold against him.

Courtois is a boss normally.

Too bad na Madrid enter him eyes.

Our approach in the second leg should focus on harassing Madrid forcing them to go long and win second balls when they lose it. Azpi and James should start on the right, Chalobah can come in for either of them in the 2nd half. We should drop Mount and play Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic in a midfield 3, Werner and Havertz as the front 2.
As for Southampton we should start with the same lineup we used in the Madrid game bar resting Kante for Kovacic.

Mendy with a disaster. Game after game he keeps dropping this disaster(s) of a pass

We probably could have equalized if he had not gifted Benzema the 3rd goal

Pulisic. Dont know whatsup with him. Wasnt even pressing all half. This on and off rubbish he does has got to stop

Silva...Oh well, I'll allow a day off cos this wasnt his usual standards we have come to know

Azpi - lol, Playing LWB reminded me of those Conte days. Please TT, never again

With James, maybe it was a deliberate high line. Cos his awareness as usual was shockingly poor

Looking at the stat, Chelsea had an Xg of 1.69 compared to Madrid’s 1.31. We shouldnt have lost that. Really hated that Lukaku miss

Tuchel admitted it was his mistake to allow Vinicius so much space in between James and Christensen. So it was probably deliberate.
