Lucas Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 Can't see a win here sadly. I think we're just going through a bit of a tough spell and it's sapped the confidence a little bit. We're due a bit of luck. Played miles better than West Ham Monday which is no coincidence given we had a couple players return, but ultimately couldn't take a single chance, that never helps. Chelsea will be very streetwise. They will remain solid and look to pick us off with the gaps we leave and I see Mason Mount in particular having a lovely time running towards our box. And in the previous fixture at theirs, Chelsea were a massive threat everytime the ball was whipped in the box, especially from corners so that brings the centre backs into play. The only thing that might disturb Chelsea is the pitch factor, they won't be used to playing on such a shambles bit of turf. I'll still be shocked if we avoid defeat mind.
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Bamford dropped @Lucas?

We've lost Liam Cooper so if it's not Llorente being out for nearly the whole season and Koch missing 4 months, Cooper's now missing his 8th game through injury. Cannot catch a break at centre half. Continually starting Tyler Roberts is a waste of everyone's time. Useless. Going to get massively turned over here.
Dave Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 I can't watch Chelsea games when Joe Cole is on punditry.

Can he try and hit the target this time please? 10 minutes ago, The Palace Fan said: I can't watch Chelsea games when Joe Cole is on punditry. He's terrible. It's all hyperbole with him and not actually that much insight. One of those that things every player can become great or world class.

Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Pitch looks a bit ropey at Leeds. Shame there's no fans for this (and every game obviously) but was watching the clips of yesteryear where this game had some great fights and bust-ups. Can't see Leeds winning but would love it if so.
Devil Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Chelsea's recent run of good defensive records will be tested here, Leeds are relentless when trying to get goals.
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 That would have been the best own goals ever
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Leeds aren't doing much but they are stopping Chelsea from creating any clear-cut chances. Most of the excitement was in the first 10.
Lucas Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 First 25 mins of that game were great for a neutral, pretty end to end, really surprised it remained 0-0. Chelsea's quality is vastly superior and threat on the right hand side with Pulisic especially is dangerous. Eventually, you see them getting in because Alioski is no LB. That said, we've come the closest when Roberts hit the bar. By and large though, we're struggling to get control of the game. Losing Bamford is a blow in terms of how the side operates. I think we were glad to get to HT because it really seemed to affect us.
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Do Leeds defenders want Havertz to score? What defending was that
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Looks like this game will be decided by the subs. Chelsea's much stronger..
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Rudiger has been solid
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 @Lucas with Leeds having defended fairly well for the most part, is it inevitable that there'll be a last-minute howler from keeper or defence to gift Chelsea the win?
Administrator Stan Posted March 13, 2021 Author Administrator Posted March 13, 2021 Roberts man of the match Rudiger or Ayling for me
Dave Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Just now, Stan said: Roberts man of the match Rudiger or Ayling for me Nothing Steve McMannaman does or says makes sense. It's like he left his brain in Madrid.
Dave Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Well, at least the next match can't be more boring than that.
