Champions League 2014/15 - Real World Football - FM24

Watch the replay, the ref was already on his way to making his decision before players converged on him. Not to mention every bloody team does it in similar situations, not just Chelsea. Was never a red card either.

Otherwise; we were fucking awful and didn't deserve anything from this game. We'll limp through the rest of the season now because Mourinho has refused to utilise his squad and rotate players before they're run into the ground. Why even bother having a squad if you're just going to use the same 13-14 players all season. Also, can we sell Oscar please. He's absolutely dire.

Oscar isn't dire

Have you been watching him? He had a good start to the season (as he did last season) and that's been it. He's been absolutely woeful since. Everything from sloppy passing, terrible touch, long periods of being anonymous, etc. He hasn't really progressed at the expected rate or that his potential suggests, he's just stagnated. When he shows up he's still a good player, but it just doesn't happen often enough. He needs to step up.

Edit: Spelling.

I didn't say the players influenced the referees decision did I? I'm saying that the way they all swarmed around the ref, screaming and shouting like babies for a red was pathetic. Yeah most players shout at the ref, but rarely like that. Mourinho has obviously told them to do that, after he claimed PSG are aggressive, to get in Bjorn Kuipers head.

No, but you more or less implied it. Players swarm officials all the time, it isn't anything new. Yes, it doesn't look great on Chelsea's behalf, however we're not the only club that does it, or has done it. I just find it funny that we're being singled out for something that is quite common in football these days. I suppose being selective about such a thing helps when the club doing it already divide opinions. In this particular contest PSG's players were doing the exact same. It could have been all avoided had Kuipers actually controlled the game to begin with. This was a by-product of that. Don't think I condone such actions, I don't. It's just not something you can pick and choose as an angle, unless you're going to pin every club for doing so.

Either way, PSG deserved their win. No qualms about that whatsoever. I'm more disappointed in the performance than the result.
