There's no way Chelsea are getting back to scoring goals without a proper striker playing up front.
Kai Havertz is just too poor in that role.

That's not what people were saying when they won the cup two years ago!

I admit they were unlucky at some points in the game but they haven't really improved as a team. It's a shame Enzo Fernandez couldn't match Adeyemi's pace for the goal. All he had to do was not lose his man but then he was outclassed there. It will be a difficult job coming back from this loss to advance and they have their job cut out for them. In general, game well played, everyone played well. From Hakim to Kepa all showed quality. They deserved a win but this is football and sometimes luck is required.

Well considering that half of the starting 11 has just been rotated into the club during January, it's no wonder why they're having a hard time. They are just one Neymar signing away from becoming the next PSG (and I think both of these clubs will get dumped in the Round of 16, the way they played their first legs, to be honest).

Benfica has taken a very big step with this 0-2 victory at Bruges. Clearly the game with the weakest teams in this tournament. A great result for Benfica. There is still everything to play for at Chelsea - Dortmund, as a 1-0 win by Dortmund is absolutely no guarantee of progressing to the next round. Bayern Munich also seems to be doing very good business, but we must not forget that Mbappe was not in top shape and he will be in 2 weeks when the teams have to play against each other again. Bayern Munich also has no guarantee yet, a player like Mbappe can easily make the difference.
Chelsea was playing so garbage against dortmund. Attacking line always becomes the main problem. I saw that if chelsea was not able using some golden chances. The goal that was already made by dortmund won't be happened once enzo was doing nice tacking to take the ball from dortmund's player. The result from the last match of chelsea against dortmund is very disappointed. Chelsea was even making zero goal again. So many times the golden opportunities were just missing by chelsea.
Todd shall sack potter as soon as possible.
Technically, Chelsea had a good match at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg of the 1/8 Champions League round, but luck did not laugh at them, they played quite well, Chelsea deserved a goal.
I think Chelsea lacks a sharp goalscorer, this second leg Felix and Havertz need to be sharper, which will help the team turn the game around at Stamford Bridge.

How disappointed I am that Chelsea lost to Borussia Dortmund despite outperforming them overall. The game appeared one-sided in the first half, with the home team having the majority of the good play, but in the second half, I would say Chelsea really improved but could not create any chances on goal. They don't appear to be fully committed to this season's Champions League. I hope they perform better in their second leg at Stamford Bridge to avoid being eliminated from the league in this round.
Chelsea were pretty good on the stats in that match, but sadly none of their strikers could turn every chance into a goal. I don't think that Chelsea think this game is not important but more because they are not capable enough to be a team that can score goals and this has been seen in the league games they played they only scored 23 goals from 22 games meaning they only have an average goal 1,+ but against Dortmund in the champions league if there is no improvement then don't expect more that Chelsea can score goals.
Chelsea team was good in last night match they did not deserve zero point at least sharing the points with Dortmund would have been the best. Although Chelsea missed so many chances that could have resulted to goals. The new signing of Chelsea which is Felix is a very good footballer and I think he will do very well in English football.
He was the only one that was pressuring the Dortmund defence. Chelsea should take their loss in a good faith and wait for the second leg

It was like I said. Benfica won comfortably.
really bad luck for Chelsea, there were lots of opportunities created (chelsea managed to make 8 'shots on target'), the match was very hot, and the referee issued 10 yellow cards (6 for dortmund players and 4 for chelsea players).  Chelsea still has a big chance to win the match in leg 2
A very bad luck for Chelsea last night, despite all pressures mounted towards about the 20 minutes to the end of the second half. And another thing is that Potter should make sure not to make the mistake of starting lotus C. as his present wasn't felt in the defense as there was much overlapping. Chelsea needs to go the extra miles in the second leg to be sure of winning the game to move to the next round .
Yeah for sure. How unlucky chelsea was. Some changes were missing. There are so many people were blaming potter. Hashtag potter out was even trending in my country. It seems like the whole of chelsea fans are so angry with potter.
i don't even know how can still potter says that if chelsea was playing so good.

This is what chelsea needs. Todd boehly was replacing a high tier coach for low tier coach.

Chelsea gets more opportunities than Dortmund. Chelsea also has more ball possession than Dortmund. but Dortmund has 1 goal to make them win.
Chelsea played badly by wasting so many chances. even they are also playing badly in the League. Of course, the club must know how this can continue. even after bringing in several players in the transfer market. they did not put up a better game.

I won't say Chelsea played badly instead they were just unlucky. The first 20muns if the game was just Dortmund putties the Chelsea defense under pressure and they were able to absorb that and gained some mometjobit weren't luck encourage to gat a goal. Félix had his chances to put Chelsea at the lead but couldn't convert the chances on numerous occasions even the best chance were he hit the bar. The first half ended in favor of Chelsea in regards to ball possession and attempts at goals so I won't say the boys played badly.

Where the coach got his tactic wrong was him still keeping the likes of Hakim Ziyech, Kai Havertz and Loftus-Cheek in the game when they had no impact especially in the second half of the game. He should have done the substitution on time so the new guys coming in will have more time to chance the game. Him keeping Mudryk up to the minute he kept him in the game was a poor decision considering the poor game he was having. Didn't he see the impact Mason Mount brought into the game when he was substituted on. I think this round isn't over yet, 1:0 isn't a safe scoreline for Dortmund.

In addition to what you have said if Kovacic was on the bench he should have been brought up to replace Cheek, the camera in that game only caught Loftus with the ball with nothing more than three occasion. He was nowhere to be found and he wasn't helping Enzo marking just the way Kante do for Chelsea. Harvert should not be used to play number nine again he had no impact. Thanks to some good defense from Chelsea, the goals should have been doubled

Chelsea management is playing with the future of the club, I don't understand why they spent do much money in the summer and still struggling in the league and other competitions. I have advised them to sack Potter Graham, he's not fit to be Chelsea Coach, he lacks the ability and experience to pilot this squad. Chelsea has the best squad in the league and they're still struggling,  their game against Dortmund last night was absolutely rubbish , playing without pattern and off strategy. They should better hire fresh brain and experienced coach immediately.

The Benefits and club Brugge, was one game I enjoyed last night, but Benefica outshined club Brugge and clinch the win.

His name is Graham Potter, not Potter Graham. Grin
I already predicted that Chelsea will have problems with him being the manager. Hiring this guy as a manager of a multi-million team was a total gamble. Chelsea didn't play that bad in Dortmund, they just need more accuracy in the final stage of the attack. All the new players in Chelsea need time in order to adapt and form a solid squad.
Brugge played really good in the group stage, but I guess that they lack the class to achieve something big in the eliminations phase.
Bayern is about to eliminate PSG. I don't expect the French team to win in Munich. It will be sad to watch Champions League matches without players like Messi and Mbappe.

But indeed in this match Chelsea also played quite well, it's just that their finishing didn't go well and the slick performance of Kobel and the Dortmund defenders really made Chelsea frustrated.
Conditions changed when Karim Adeyemi's solo run managed to get past many players before the Chelsea goalkeeper and turn it into a goal that was really very good for him by running from the defensive area until he could score a goal.

Milan vs Tottenham match didn't end in the way I hoped to see. I was expecting both teams to score in this. Because both teams were having problems on their defenses so this was increasing the probability of seeing goals from both sides. But somehow Tottenham couldn't manage to score. As they had very effective attackers like Kane, Son and Kulusevski I wonder how they couldn't manage to score a single goal. Bentancur's absence was also felt I believe. You know he has got a knee injury and he is out during the rest of the season.

1-0 is still not a bad loss for Tottenham actually. They can still revert things in the second leg. They just need to wake up and recover their old form again.
I expected same in that game but unfortunately Tottenham couldn't live up to my expectations and couldn't cone back into the game after conceding in the early minutes of the game. I was watching with high hopes and counting of Son and Harry Kane to make something happen but it just wasn't their night.

I expect Benfica to win today. Club Brugge has had great success coming this far, but their chances of making it to the next round are very low. Benfica is one of the well-established clubs of Portugal and they are doing very well in their league this season. They advanced as leader from a very difficult group. I think they are the side that is close to the quarter-finals.

In the match between Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea, it's very difficult to predict who will win. Dortmund is much better in form but Chelsea made important signings and those signings were for this trophy. They're not doing well in Premier League, maybe they can focus more here.
Benfica won as you predicted although I expected them to win by a larger margin because they created many chances, they had 14 attempts with I think just 5 on target but what matters most is the points. Chelsea seem to have still not found the balance and still struggling even with the large amount invested on signings. Graham Potter looks likely to lose his job as the Chelsea manager if they keep losing games.

I already thought that Chelsea had not been able to win in the first leg when playing away matches at Signal Iduna Park home to Dortmund. Even though in the second half the game started to be even, Dortmund finally scored his first goal in the 63rd minute by Adeyemi and at the same time closed the 1-0 victory for Dortmund in the first leg. I think Chelsea should consider sacking Graham Potter, we know that Chelsea have played several matches in various competitions, always getting minor results and that is if they don't want to be eliminated again in various competitions next season.

This is the result of my parlay bet on this week's UCL match, only the AC Milan vs Spurs match failed my winning bet.



Even though I only used a small amount of money for betting, it was quite fun. Cheesy

Borussia Dortmund won the opening leg of the quarterfinal at home, but the die Schwarzgelben will have their work cut out for them when they go to London to take on the Blues at Stamford Bridge. Karim Adeyemi's performance against the visitors was amazing because of his extended runs. The 21-year-old winger was excellent in the match, and his teammates were taken aback by the youngster's outstanding performance. Chelsea did not play their cards correctly during the game; they consistently waited for their opponents to initiate and control play before moving forward and engaging in fierce competition. Graham Potter should be fired without hesitation because, despite the club's recent strong new recruits, he is not even capable of serving as the club's current instrument.

Well, it's more just the perception of defeat, because in fact Chelsea did not play that bad in this match, there were attacks, chances, too, partly unlucky team Potter, partly the goalkeeper Dortmund played great. If not for the goalkeeper, Chelsea would have scored one goal for sure, but it was zero on the scoreboard.

Nevertheless, I agree with the assessment of Potter's work as a head coach, the team as a whole plays as if it were a mid-tier English league, not a club with a billion euro roster.

Felix is always missing the chance. I don't even know why potter is still using him as a striker. He is not good anymore. There are also some strikers that have not got chance. BTW aubameyang is far better than felix. Potter must be stupid enough not to include him in the champion league squad.

He said like this in press conference

Quote
Potter, who insisted in the pre-match press conference that he is capable of getting angry, nonetheless chose to see the evening's glass as half full.

'We have to do better. We were pushing at the time (of the goal) and were the better team so to concede in that manner is what we're disappointed in, but the players are honest,' Potter said.

I don't even know what he was thinking about that but he shall realize that if chelsea is rarely making goal right now. Changing tuchel with potter is actually degrade. todd is a stupid owned for sure.

It was a miserable match for Chelsea yesterday, Chelsea were unable to capitalize on many chances. Chelsea had 8 of 21 short on target. But could not block any short net.  On the other hand, tomorrow's match was very important for Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund won 2-0 against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League in September 2014 but since then Chelsea have played a total of 9 matches without a win (D1, L8). Yesterday's match was expected by many to be a convincing victory for Chelsea but Borussia Dortmund came on in the 63rd minute with K. Adeyemi scoring the winning goal which Chelsea were later unable to repay.

I still don't know why Chelsea had been having bad games even before this season. I think something need to be done or else things is going to get worse by the day. Chelsea is a big team and I don't expect ordinary dotmond to win cheslsea just like that. I know Chelsea went to there home and get defeated, I am hopping to see a more serious match that would lead to a better winning when they comes to Chelsea home. This game was not supposed to end in 1-0. It was very obvious how Chelsea was missing so many opportunities to have win the game without any stress. The coach need to organize his team well so that yhis kind of game would not occur again.
I don't surprise by the result, I know it will happen and I have the confidence to bet on Dortmund last night. Chelsea is undergoing a degraded team which means, they will have the same problem when facing teams from other countries. In the premier league also, Chelsea is experiencing a period of transition, the problem will fix when changed coach to Enrique and do the transformational player for each line.
