Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
The amount of square pegs in that team.
The total lack of faith in the u23s
No Bate but Jenkins who is nowhere near the same ability.
MB has no faith in the u23s, said it before, they are 100% a last resort.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
I half expected it, but hoped he'd see sense.
People out of position, out of form, confused, this is how you give three points and a leg up to a team that's gone off the boil lately.
Tuchel and Mount and Lukaku will be salivating.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
If we do anything but pack the midfield and play on the counter with that team then MB will deserve every but of criticism he gets if we get battered.
Will be no excuse imo.
Stubbornness in tactics when totally outmatched playing that 11 is not admirable.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Did I imagine the club saying it was going to blend in the U23’s this season or words to that effect? Haven’t seen much blending so far.
James as a 9 ? Absolutely crazy with Gelhardt on the bench. This 16 obsession is very difficult to understand and really frustrating.

James upfront vs Silva, surely we will play on the counter?

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Maybe Bate is injured?
I thought at least he'd keep Roberts at CF after he scored.
Gonna be a bloodbath, cos MBs gone for maximum disruption and confusion again, and I mean for us not the opposition.
This will be hungrily seized upon by Tuchel and his troops.
Pray for a miracle.

Yeah, I'm getting really fucked off with this carry on. It's tough enough going away to the top teams, you don't need to give them a head start tooVinnysTattoo wrote: ↑Sat Dec 11, 2021 2:21 pm Did I imagine the club saying it was going to blend in the U23’s this season or words to that effect?

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Roberts scored from Midfield last week. He may have started striker (not even sure that's true) but once we reshuffled he dropped back to play the 10 as Dallas dropped back to RB when Ayling went centre

Roberts, Dallas and Forshaw Will turn into prime Iniesta, Xavi and Busquets maybe.

I sincerely hope MB is proved correct with his team selection today and we get a win.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Would have played Cresswell in the middle leaving Ayling on the right.
Would also have played Gelhardt up top, put James on the left, and sat Harrison down.
But I am not a genius.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread
Going to give this game a swerve today. Many things to get done and can't see us getting owt (couldn't before I saw the lineup either TBH), so will watch it on record later. Usually I'd avoid the score but think it might be better to know it beforehand.
Let's hope we sneak something out of this. MOT ALAW.
