UCL Group D: Chelsea FC x FC Porto [P+R]

[Zakov]

Why didn't you guys start with Falcao anyways? I understand going for height, but he's in-form. Either way a win is a win for us.

Always knew Porto was going to be tough, its like they have a programmed style of playing regardless of how many player changes. But we'll have Drogba and Boss back for the away tie.

******* gutted man, we surely deserved something out of this after playing a very solid match.
Poor finishing cost us the points but I'm truly pleased with what I saw tonight, this team is strong and confident and I see a bright near future for us.

I thought Guarín was a beast out there tonight so one's got to give credit to Jesualdo for putting his faith on him...in fact every single player was very consistent except for Mariano and obviously Hulk who has yet to show his worth playing against world class defense.

Great game in the end, congrats to Chelsea and their fans.
Now I just can't wait for the return leg to watch us pwn yo' asses live

Again i feel that we could have done more if Jesauldo was more ambicious.
I cant understand why he keeps playing Mariano in this games.

We played great in the last 20min with Hulk, Varela and Falcao upfront. We lost a lot of offensive power with Hulk as a striker and Mariano.

Great game by Guarin. It suprised me.

Anyway, the most important games will be with Atletico and Apoel.
If win the next 3 games we will qualify for sure.

But we have to do more against top teams.
We deserve to have won last season away games against Atletico and Man Utd but we dont.
Now this game with Chelsea we could atleast get a draw.
We have quality for winning this games but is something missing.

I think with Falcao and Varela from the beginning we could have done more infront of the Goal.

Mariano was a disappointment. I don't know why Jesualdo didn't play with Falcao and Varela...

But the draw from Atletico @ home against Apoel was good for us. So we can go confident to our game at the Dragao.

Hope that Hulk can do more against Atletico...

Considering the terrible weather, I thought both teams gave us a pretty exciting game. Fairly played throughout without a hint of nastiness from either side, and you can't say that very often in the CL.

Can't be too critical over anything as the rain did make things difficult. We did play some amazing footie at times, breathtaking in fact, and Porto also showed that they are still a clever footballing side.

Nice to get the result of course, and we rode our luck a bit towards the end. So no complaints from me.

You better!
