Responsibility for the goal conceded :
10% Christensen : the pass was not as Bad a s Cesc positioning.
30% Cesc : the one supposed to link up isn’t even waiting for the ball, ultimately missed that pass.
60% Azpi : his miscalculated tackle caused the goal, you should never miss your challenge in you are the last man no matter who passed the ball or how the ball was.
The initial bad pass is the main reason for everything else so idk why only 10% when it's like 50% because if he was more calm and not putting that stressed up ball that probably Cesc thought for a slight second that it wasn't meant for him none of the rest would have happened.
You can argue that Cesar was positioned too deep but so was Rudiger, the default play is that Christensen passes to Fabregas and then he has the option to give it back to Azpilicueta which then passes to Moses.
Cesar was running hard for the loose ball and failed the tackle but it was already lost at that point, Courtois's reaction was if the goal was empty and he didn't exist so it was like a domino effect where the whole defense fell apart, the pressure that Cristensen was feeling was put on that bad pass and Fabregas was not ready for that, Cesar felt even more pressure and Courtois was beaten even before the shot came.
Azpilicueta's reaction was due to the already bad turn of events so he can't be blamed, it didn't start from him at all he was trying to make up for the mistakes of the rest.
What’s your thoughts and predictions in first leg ?
Will give mine later i have mixed feelings on this...
