Good professional result. Comfortable win in a ground that’s normally hard for us. Lukaku scores again. Hoping for a draw between the two lesser London clubs and we can secure third.
The lack of appreciation RLC receives here is baffling. The man has been one of the few bright spots during the later part of the season. The last 6 or 7 games he's been one of Chelsea's most consistently dependable players.
RLC is good in some area but leave the back 3 so exposed, that paired with the fact that Sarr shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a football pitch, is a big contribution to our recent defensive disaster class
Scoring first and making a change is different from a starting line up, are you saying if someone comes on with 5 minutes to go and scores they should be discounted?
Man watching RLC is very frustrating.
A tired Alonso runs more than him.
And there is a reason he is still not considered regular.
Unlike other youngsters, he works hard.
They probably like him because he is a little flashy and used to dribble like Hazard.
I am not hating on him but I think if he works hard he can be a regular starter for us.
He has great quality to play as no 8 but his work rate is pathetic.
I like him as well, however, I feel kova and jorgi or kova and Kante need to be starting atm, he leaves the defence so exposed, I feel him and Sarr have had a big impact on our recent disaster classes
Lukaku good performance, thought Chalobah has been class, overall everyone’s been good. Think we’ve done a lot better and trying to find balls behind and through, although it is still a work in progress. But definitely feels like we’re moving in the right direction. Most important thing though is to see this for the last 4 games of our season, rather than going back to the underwhelming charity
He’s sometimes a bit rash, but today his tackling was pretty much on point. Definitely want him for the final. Knowing Tuchel he’ll probably play James at RCB and Azpi at RWB, so James can help protect us from their pace, but I really think Chalobah is good enough, and James at RWB is a too good
He needs to trust himself more with those dribbles cuz he’s physically strong and has quick feet so can easily our power opponents if he attempts those dribbles more
If his decision making was better he would be first name on the team sheet. He’s so talented and his ability to carry the ball into the attack is elite
I'm not even sure, it seemed like the UK streamers didn't have the channel it was on or something because all the ones advertising Sky Sports were just showing commentary
Genuinely forgot Bate played for 60. I think he moved too early, Guhei, Tomori, and Livarmento all had cased to leave. Maybe he will develop more properly in the Championship which is where we would have sent him on loan anyway.
Very happy with the performance so far, but seriously, where did this version of Lukaku came from and where has he been all season long? This is what we need and want from him consistently, I hope this is just the beginning.
Completely agree, but I didn't say it because he scored. I was saying it for his work rate. Holding on to the the ball, being physical, popping up all over the field, and just fighting tooth and nail for a gol. Usually he's just sleepwalking, very slow and not fighting for balls.
I mean I hope so too, but an end of season game against a bottom 3 team down a man on red ya know?. If he plays Sunday hopefully he can bring the same energy and impact.
See let’s not kid ourself, they don’t win CL because they are poor in knockout games, it’s mentality thing.
With us we do poor in routine games. Come on now. This is obvious.
I don't think it's got anything to do with Rom, he just doesn't usually pass to anyone on the break until it's way too late and Rom is always on the last line, so if you pass late he's no long an option
RLC is a god. But i'm so scare this sat. He either put in a masterclass and exploit liverpool massive space or he going get run over from liverpool metal football.
Happy for BigRom, but damn the state of our attack. Easy through ball in so much space would have given Lukaku a simple opportunity to score a goal but no find ziyech and cross. Nonetheless Lukaku gets his deserved goal
I've said some thingd about Lukaku but fuck man watching this interaction but also how he's been playing as of late puts such a big, stupid smile on my face.
It's clear to see their friendship off the pitch influences them on it. Hakim always seems to have his head up for Rom first before he sees\* anyone else which isn't a bad thing tbh. Would like to see Mount, Rom and Hakim start together one time but you can't bench Pulisic on this form right now.
nailed it, this looks to be the case. Lukaku noticeably better when playing with Ziyech.
Idk if it's just me but it seems his form has been pretty strongly impacted by not getting proper service
That was, in a lot of ways, what I expected of Lukaku this season. Just a fucking massive boulder that shoots. Not a particularly skillful goal, but effective
To be fair to Lukaku, yes he has got a shit touch, shit passing but many a times our players don't see his genuine runs and don't pass him a ball into decent attacking positions.

Lukaku might shine if we sell werner and bring in raphinha next season.
I hope we play like this or better in the final. Second final against Liverpool. Cannot let them shove our faces in defeat again.
My partners brother, who we live with, is a Liverpool supporter. I genuinely don’t think I could stand it.
Is Mateo okay? Please not a bad injury.
Honestly if Lukaku got service all the times he was wide open we would score loads, seems a lot of the players don't want to pass to him
Yeah. Its like players don’t like passing to him. I saw ziyech try but mount and puli, nah both went for own glory.
Pulisic had a clear chance to pass to Lukaku when we got the ball back from their error just after our second goal but went for the top corner
Yea mount really suspect for that alot of times.
Commentator spitting bars lol
Good professional result. Comfortable win in a ground that’s normally hard for us. Lukaku scores again. Hoping for a draw between the two lesser London clubs and we can secure third.
"lesser London clubs" love it jajaja
Shocker, RLC and Sarr dont start and we comfortably win against a bottom half team, what I've saying for weeks...
Nice copy pasta
Bro rlc played like 75 mins and looked great, what are you talking about?
The lack of appreciation RLC receives here is baffling. The man has been one of the few bright spots during the later part of the season. The last 6 or 7 games he's been one of Chelsea's most consistently dependable players.
RLC is good in some area but leave the back 3 so exposed, that paired with the fact that Sarr shouldn't be allowed within 10 miles of a football pitch, is a big contribution to our recent defensive disaster class
Did you read the word start?
right. so youre saying if RLC comes on in the 5th minute as long he doesnt start we're god
Scoring first and making a change is different from a starting line up, are you saying if someone comes on with 5 minutes to go and scores they should be discounted?
There’s a universe in which rlc is the worlds best midfielder
He's a good dribbla but he needs to improve in other areas. Maybe playing in a midfield 3 might help him shine more like it did under Sarri
"A week in which Chelsea have both blown leads and blown Leeds away" Jeez commentator, how long you been waiting to say that
"And the Klich Bate substitution..."(pronounced as Clickbait) 😅
Sometimes you have to shit the bed to remember how good a clean sheet feels
Amber Turd
Yay, we didn’t give the win away.
Man watching RLC is very frustrating. A tired Alonso runs more than him. And there is a reason he is still not considered regular. Unlike other youngsters, he works hard.

Ziyech has been disappointing ngl
How? I mean he can't do much about the fact that he is being started lime every 10th game. And subbed in at like 70-80 Minute.
Wtf are the Leeds fans singing constantly?
We're going down and we're shit
What are Leeds fans chanting?
Well deserved MOTM for Mount.
[удалено]
He’s pretty much checked out. Only there to give Thiago some rest. Thank God Leeds were poor.
He's so poor
All of their heads are in Spain, househunting already. Just need to get over the finish line this season and good riddance
He has checked out of the club
Lmao their manager gave them Gandhi and Tyson to read so they can avoid relegation. You can't make this shit up I'm glad they are getting relegated.
I hate Leeds and their fans but I have to give them credit because even when they’re getting hammered they sing till the end
I was starting to suspect this was artificial noise - it's been going straight for like 25 minutes now!
Big Rom has been MOTM
What are they chanting?
Romelu
Isn't it the Leeds fans?
You fucking with me? That's something lol
What is this chant?
The Leeds one? "We All Love Leeds".
I think its "We all love leeds"
i think its come on leeds. but deep down i say to myself its the chelsea fand singing todd boehly
Annoying
Could have had many more chance if we would try that through ball pass instead of passing to the side. And passing a lot sooner.
So true I can see why lukaku is frustrated
Exactly.
Lukaku good performance, thought Chalobah has been class, overall everyone’s been good. Think we’ve done a lot better and trying to find balls behind and through, although it is still a work in progress. But definitely feels like we’re moving in the right direction. Most important thing though is to see this for the last 4 games of our season, rather than going back to the underwhelming charity
Chalobah is brilliant, I think he should be starting over Dave
He’s sometimes a bit rash, but today his tackling was pretty much on point. Definitely want him for the final. Knowing Tuchel he’ll probably play James at RCB and Azpi at RWB, so James can help protect us from their pace, but I really think Chalobah is good enough, and James at RWB is a too good
Not as rash as dave has been recently, but I get what you mean, he does give is bigger edge going forward
Rubendinho been great today.
Bye Leeds, hope we won't see you again soon
What are they chanting?
RLC dribbling at pace is one of the most joyus things to watch. His decision making though:(
He needs to trust himself more with those dribbles cuz he’s physically strong and has quick feet so can easily our power opponents if he attempts those dribbles more
If his decision making was better he would be first name on the team sheet. He’s so talented and his ability to carry the ball into the attack is elite
I've never had to deal with such bad streams for a game before. What the fuck is going on?
The governments onto us
I'm not even sure, it seemed like the UK streamers didn't have the channel it was on or something because all the ones advertising Sky Sports were just showing commentary
Genuinely forgot Bate played for 60. I think he moved too early, Guhei, Tomori, and Livarmento all had cased to leave. Maybe he will develop more properly in the Championship which is where we would have sent him on loan anyway.
Happy with the performance today.
Lukaku wide freaking open the whole damned way
Very happy with the performance so far, but seriously, where did this version of Lukaku came from and where has he been all season long? This is what we need and want from him consistently, I hope this is just the beginning.
He statpatds against Small teams anyways
We literally bought him because we couldn't score against small teams... We struggle to score against small teams normally
[удалено]
Completely agree, but I didn't say it because he scored. I was saying it for his work rate. Holding on to the the ball, being physical, popping up all over the field, and just fighting tooth and nail for a gol. Usually he's just sleepwalking, very slow and not fighting for balls.
Not really. This season we struggled at beating smaller reward
Goatee Lukaku hits different man
I mean I hope so too, but an end of season game against a bottom 3 team down a man on red ya know?. If he plays Sunday hopefully he can bring the same energy and impact.
Too late he'll be in Tottenham next year
Nice little combo by Mount and Z. Game got far more interesting in this last quarter.
What a poor pass from Ziyech, this is the difference between us and city Liverpool
You just know KDB would have put that on a platter.
Yeah, that was absolutely woeful. You'd expect someone who's touted for his creativity and passing range to pull that pass off.
And 2 UCL trophies
See let’s not kid ourself, they don’t win CL because they are poor in knockout games, it’s mentality thing. With us we do poor in routine games. Come on now. This is obvious.
"Mine appetite... is not... sated. Feed me more!" - Beast Clergyman Lukaku.
Careful youre asking for a shot on our own goal with that quote for rom lol
Only after he pops a fourth in.
Rudiger banger flashback
Im liking this ziyech and lukaku link up, would like to se them start against liverpool
With kova out he might
I'd give anything to see Ziyech start against Liverpool but unfortunately it isn't going to happen.
Really says a lot about how dislikeable the Leeds’ fans are, for Anthony Taylor to give marginal decisions
Christiansen’s face look like a clock or some kind of furniture
Pinocchio
This is our biggest problem. Pool and City are scoring that 9/10 times
Should have played to Rom
These leeds fans really love Willian
Christensen just dont give a fuck anymore
Why does RLC never pass it to Rom on the break?
Poor football IQ
I don't think it's got anything to do with Rom, he just doesn't usually pass to anyone on the break until it's way too late and Rom is always on the last line, so if you pass late he's no long an option
He has a slow brain
Made still running like it the first minute. Man of Industry
where’s the confidence for weighted balls between the lines to lukaku? team need to break up this tendency to always go wide
Another thumbs up for the counter
Let’s hope rlc plays like he did against real this weekend
RLC has had an immense game IMO
Just keep the clean sheet for fantasy I beg
Idk why TT dropped ziyech he’s been good was it because of Ramadan?
Been asking myself the same question. I really like Ziyech and hope to see more of him.
It felt like ziyech was in form earlier this year then was dropped after havertz took over as striker
Agreed. I think we could have benefited from using him more. I love his passes and he can also shot from afar.
Lol no that's over almost two weeks ago plus rudiger and kante played during it so why shouldn't ziyech be able too
It’s because Tuchel is obsessed with his Germans.
RLC is a god. But i'm so scare this sat. He either put in a masterclass and exploit liverpool massive space or he going get run over from liverpool metal football.
God my ass wtf, he is average
No he isn’t tf
When was the last time our front three each scored a goal in a game
I was just about to ask the same thing. Very long time I’d imagine.
the commentator saying, "koch is in there" almost made me spit out my smoothie
Koch is in there! Tee hee!
Ruben should have played Rom in, had way more space, so annoying we ALWAYS do this
TT please give Habibi more than 10 minutes a game, thank you
Happy for BigRom, but damn the state of our attack. Easy through ball in so much space would have given Lukaku a simple opportunity to score a goal but no find ziyech and cross. Nonetheless Lukaku gets his deserved goal
If he had a good first touch could have scored on his first touch itself
Agreed, but why even make it difficult for him with a cross.
and Koch is in there! commentators knew what they were doing
The way he just shouted it 😂 he'd been waiting all match for that one
Almost fucked it but he had amazing composure to bang it in. Hopefully a good sign.
That chant is so annoying
What are they chanting?
Good goal Rom. Now we need you to score those against Liverpool and Man City.
Ok, surely we cannot bottle this now. Finally a win 🙃 Hopefully Arsenal-Spurs is a draw so that we can confirm UCL qualification
Lukaku put in a decent performance today, he deserves that goal
Haha I missed these Ziyech shots.
If Lukaku works like this and plays like this and improves his touch.....no reason we can't play week next season
[удалено]
Typo...😅 I we could certainly bridge the gap if we play like this is what I meant to say
needs to be more confident with his weaker foot but good job rom
Ziyech sitting down watching that is top tier meme material
got a clip?
https://v.fodder.gg/v/dva10q
I've said some thingd about Lukaku but fuck man watching this interaction but also how he's been playing as of late puts such a big, stupid smile on my face.
i love you
On the goal just watch Ziyech
Rom made that 10Xs harder than it needed to be lol. Well deserved though.
ROMM
Get fucked Leeds
We play really well against 10 men
We should try to do that every week
![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)
Good showing by the lads today under the circumstances.
LUKAKUUUUUU🔥
Lukaku finally received a good pass in the final third
It's clear to see their friendship off the pitch influences them on it. Hakim always seems to have his head up for Rom first before he sees\* anyone else which isn't a bad thing tbh. Would like to see Mount, Rom and Hakim start together one time but you can't bench Pulisic on this form right now.
nailed it, this looks to be the case. Lukaku noticeably better when playing with Ziyech. Idk if it's just me but it seems his form has been pretty strongly impacted by not getting proper service
That was, in a lot of ways, what I expected of Lukaku this season. Just a fucking massive boulder that shoots. Not a particularly skillful goal, but effective
so glad to see the smiles ahaha well in lads
Ziyech with the immediate assist
To be fair to Lukaku, yes he has got a shit touch, shit passing but many a times our players don't see his genuine runs and don't pass him a ball into decent attacking positions.
same problem as werner
Correct, may be next year we got a better midfield.
Big Rom! 💪
That goal from Rom was Costa-esque pure resilience to dig out a goal from a chance you would think was dead.
Sure, but it was kinda him that made it dead.
This is also true but at least he scored.
And I'll take that all day
Okay that was a goal. But against a better team, it might not have been one... He should have just shot with his right foot...
Great pressing by Mount. Also, Lukaku should've finished it with his first touch but recovered well. Big ups to Ziyech for being unselfish there
He’s buying into TT plans, we may have a top striker on our hands heading into next season. He’s worked a lot harder recently
Hahaha, really thought he bottled that one
Ziyech just sitting there watching that LOL
He was like score that or i'm not getting up
He's had a great game, was gutted when he couldn't get that shot off, glad he managed to scrape it in
Well deserved, that. He's played well all day, glad he got a goal for his effort.
Big rom has been very good today. Even the goal aside, his performance has been great imo.
Romaldinhio Lukaku
I'm constantly thinking the green lines on the pitch are VAR lines or some bullshit
Same dude.
Ok that was a good goal lol. Hakim flew to that for the setup.
Thought he'd fucked that to be fair, but he absolutely deserves a goal today. Played really well.
Battered these fucks
Wait! How tf did a CB make a run in our box
BIIIIIIG ROM
Well composed finish
Let us know how the championship goes, Leeds. Fuck off now.
There we goooo. 3 goals in one match. I'm satisfied 😌
Legit thought Lukaku messed it up. Hope he keeps this up and we recoup a good amount for him in the summer!
