PSG-Chelsea Another Reason Chelsea Need Replacements.....

As strong as Chelsea have seemed this season, its obvious that They either need more to become a top European side or Mourinho needs to adjust his approach towards some big teams.
For man-united it was obvious they were going against the best team in europe and thus couldn’t offer the best legs in midfeild, Moyes however started the Game with Two Centre forwards. Mourinho on the other hand chose to start the game with Shurlle, Oscar and Hazard the Forward players. It proved dismal as PSG could then afford to add an extra man in midfeild While Matuidi and Motta were given all the Room to operate in midfeild. It was no surprise as the Home side took the lead under two minutes of play through Ezequel Lavezzi. chelsea settled into the match after that and deservedly Got a penalty from T.silva who brought down Oscar in the box. Oscar scored the Resulting spotkick and was close to taking his side 2-1 into the break when his classic Shot hit the post.

Blanc must have reignited his tea during the half-time talks, as PSG came out all flying from the restart, the only positive Chelsea could draw from the Game was keeping the Zlatan and Cavani quiet until the former was taken off due to an injury. The hosts regained the lead as Lavezzi’s freekick was turned in b y Chelsea’s Luiz.

The Substitutions both sides made indicated the difference between the two sides, Lampard and torres came for chelsea while Cabaye and pastore came on for the blues. While Cabaye had 3 shots in just a few minutes of play, Lampard was all but a spectator for Chelsea struggling to keep up with on the left side of the pitch. Pastore Got the third after another lackluster deffending as the Argentine ghosted past two challenges before stroking his shot into the Corner that Cech really should’ve saved.

Now mourinho cannot afford to sit back when the return leg comes in weeks, Eto’o will have to be in full fitness prior to that game but with tough matches in the EPL awaiting you don’t see how the special one can afford to use his best legs across two weeks without loosing one.
With Ramirez suspended from the 2nd leg, Matic cup tied, Mourinho needs to find a formation to get goals as well as Find adequate replacements for Lampard, Torres and Terry. if they are to stand a Chance against the Very top sides in Europe
