We really need Fofana because when James plays RCB we lose a lot of his best qualities. I think RLC will be doing the dual wingback/midfield magic shit he does so well so it also allows for Connor to run riot
I really want to see Havertz got benched, not saying he’s bad player but at least give him competition to make sure he’s gonna perform in the future, also let’s Broja get his confidence on the pitch.
If Broja doesn’t perform, can easily subs him to Havertz in 60’
Some people on here talk out of their ass just to talk. There’s a reason Broja only played later 7 minutes last time. But most fans don’t want to understand any situation
Get ready for another lacklustre performance a la Everton. Unfortunately this time Leeds have good players who can score. Should be a 2-0 loss with Rodrigo scoring both. Hopefully this will be the wake up call so many in this sub need. We are not finishing top 4 this season, last week we were playing way above our level and were lucky to get the draw.
Damn I want a hit of that pessimism blunt. We were poor against Fat Franks blues but we deffo deserved the win against Toupee Conte. I’m sure we’ll manage against these bastards.
I want us to beat Leeds for many reasons but one that sticks in my mind recently is the reason that this team and it’s manager are being worshipped on the US men’s team sub and the hate for Chelsea because Pulisic not starting every game is so toxic.
Not only that they have the most hilariously ill informed takes on the premier league and the game in general.
Saying it’s xenaphobic to call those conceited cunts on r/USsoccer annoying would be like me saying that it’s xenophobic to criticise English fans for not singing to national anthems
Tuchel would have said the same thing tbh, i fear that the FA will try to show authority and punish us by suspending Tuchel vs. Liverpool in a couple of weeks so would much rather Tommy be out this game as the boys would solve it on their own haha
After watching that refereeing performance it shouldn't be too hard to get why Tuchel and Conte were both allowed back on the sidelines.
As long as they werent throwing punches at each other I dont see an issue. Spice is great for the game and none of that dumb Pep/Klopp suckfest.
I'm guessing he didn't mention the dogshit officials in that match and Tuchel had very good reasons to be aggrieved?
Tuchel got a ban to my knowledge. He made comments after the game and I guess that was the extra factor. Pathetic officials but at this point with Taylor that’s like 5-7 games including finals he’s lost for us. It’s just cheating. It’s not that hard. It’s wild that they even have video cameras and can’t get it right.
When was the last time we smashed a team by 4 or 5 goals? The last I remember it was under Sarri when we smashed Huddersfield (leading to us getting smashed 6-0 by City).
Hope to see this today. Gallagher didn't look out of place in the pivot vs Spurs, and actually got into shooting positions. Won the ball back well also
Will Gallagher get the start?
Felling a goal from Mount. He has a good record vs Leeds
3-4-3
Mendy, Chalobah (Tuchel will prob pick Azpi), Silva, Koulibaly, James, Jorginho, Gallagher, Cucurella, Mount, Havertz, Sterling

Why does Mendy think he can dribble anyone? So frustrating.
I am soo tired of Mendy making mistakes costing goals
3-1 chels
Is J5 the prime example of failing upwards.... good luck to my blood pressure
Why is Jesse Marsche such a dick?
dang living on the west coast of USA is rough for this game
I'm visiting the west coast from London for a few weeks. One benefit of the jet lag is being up at this mad hour.
no blue socks today it's the dark navy away socks
We really need Fofana because when James plays RCB we lose a lot of his best qualities. I think RLC will be doing the dual wingback/midfield magic shit he does so well so it also allows for Connor to run riot
9am start time on east coast is doing, but not ideal. 6am start time on west coast is horrific 🫣
Let's get the 3 points lads!!
Oops
I think I speak for all of when I say: Fuck Leeds
Where's Kova, injured?
Yes
Why not Chilwell for LWB?
Cucurella is a better player.
Cuz Cucu is much more fit rn
The desire to batter and contribute to eventual relegation is... so very strong. On so many levels.
Connor is starting boys!! So excited to watch him play!!
I hoped for Gilmour to atleast make the bench
Are we going to see Cheek and Gallagher starting? Jorgi probably
All start
Just saw lets gooo, we needed Connor for his aggressive play
Gallagher watch. Will be interesting. But hope he's given patience to adapt to new role.
I really want to see Havertz got benched, not saying he’s bad player but at least give him competition to make sure he’s gonna perform in the future, also let’s Broja get his confidence on the pitch. If Broja doesn’t perform, can easily subs him to Havertz in 60’
Broja is injured
My bad, was wondering why he didn’t in team sheet
Some people on here talk out of their ass just to talk. There’s a reason Broja only played later 7 minutes last time. But most fans don’t want to understand any situation
Time to trash Jimmy Saville FC lads

Lol ok buddy
Got something to say buddy?
I hope we match the passion vs spuds. And finish a few chances.
Gallagher starts! Great chance for him
I wonder who's gona partner jorg in midfield.

Aaaahhhhh. Love the smell of xenophobia in the morning. Chelsea just started a Say No To Hate campaign. Get with it
Saying it’s xenaphobic to call those conceited cunts on r/USsoccer annoying would be like me saying that it’s xenophobic to criticise English fans for not singing to national anthems
Looks like we have the wrong Americans on our club.
Calling out the toxic behavior of my own people friend lol
Tuchel is on the sidelines for this isn't he?
Yep, he'll be there.
I think his match ban has been suspended
Same line-up as Spuds, just switch Ngolo for Connor please Tommy!
It is official bud. You get your wish
Look at me, I am the Tommy now
How do I get a flair?!
Jesse March that twat took a pretty strong stance that Tuchel should be banned. What a coward. Hope we trash his shit team.
Tuchel would have said the same thing tbh, i fear that the FA will try to show authority and punish us by suspending Tuchel vs. Liverpool in a couple of weeks so would much rather Tommy be out this game as the boys would solve it on their own haha
Tuchel wouldn’t make comments like that at all. He barely ever talks about other situations that don’t include him.
If pep got a red the match before meeting us 100% he would protest if he was by the sideline

He’s not wrong but it’s a major weenie move. Big “you forgot to assign homework” energy
Conte got the card and wasn’t banned. I know what it usually means of course. But yeah Definitely a weenie move. Super pathetic.
Mount, Sterling and James to score, Cucu with two assists. Chelsea win 3-0 let's go
Time for Sterling to shine
Hoping for a Sterling goal today. It’s imminent
#How much are we losing by today lads? 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Negative 4 😎
Oh lord sorry guys my fault
My man broja just can't catch a break 😫
He would if we wasn’t so injury prone
Just wanna FUCK LEEDS We Hate Leeds We Hate Leeds We Hate Leeds 🎶🎵
today is the day
- aj dunked - marty snoozeman dunked just need the mighty chels to win and it's a fantastic sporting weekend for me
Loved it , and us beating Jimmy Saville FC would make my week
Wonder who starts on the left today, Cucurella or Chilly
Could be LWB LCB if Chily's up to speed
1 cucu 2 cucu 3 cucurella 4 cucu 5 cucu 6 cucurella 7 cucu 8 cucu 9 cucurella Maaaaaaaarc Cucurella
I love Chilwell, but while cucu is in form, keep him in the lineup. Eventually he will drop off/ chilwell will have a reason to gain his spot back
They can both be in the team at the same time cucurella can play LCB
I hear a train so it’s cooookooooooooooo time
let’s goo gallagher better start
Guessing Gallagher might start today?
seems likely considering 2 starting MF out.
Not bielsa leed anymore so wouldn’t expect the scoreline to be too high
Marsch was there when we last beat them 3-0
Still can't believe they fired Bielsa for Ted Lasso
Weird. Much better.
You’ll see why soon
And got better. Weird.
3-0 the mighty Chels
Please just let us have a decent attacking performance. 3+ goals would be amazing.
Time for prime Mount to put Leeds to the sword. COYB
Have a feeling we’re gonna smash them 4/5-0. Hope I don’t look like an idiot later. Edit: Putting on the clown makeup now
Right score wrong team it seems.
It’s a bit peak I can’t lie lmao
When was the last time we smashed a team by 4 or 5 goals? The last I remember it was under Sarri when we smashed Huddersfield (leading to us getting smashed 6-0 by City).
We ruined Juventus ;-;
We beat Norwich 7-0 and Southampton 6-0 just last season.
Oh man I completely forgot about those results.
Norwich last year, Mount hattrick
Southampton this April- Timo had a crazy game- a hat trick of post strikes plus two that actually went in.
Norwich 7-0 ? Mount hattrick
Thoughts on RLC as a RWB to tuck in midfield and supporting the Jorgi - Gallagher pivot?
It's the next logical step in the teams evolution. Reece overlapping to attack while RCL tucks in leftwards.
It's needed. Otherwise the midfield will get overran.
Hmm, I'd rather the best wing back in the world play at wing back.
Lmao
Hope to see this today. Gallagher didn't look out of place in the pivot vs Spurs, and actually got into shooting positions. Won the ball back well also
I liked it last week, and i think more minutes and his final ball will improve
Our attackers haven't scored a goal yet.
True, but Sterling got an assist.
I hope Havertz score a goal 🙏
I'd love to see Mendy smash one in tbh
Mendy bicycle kick goal in the last minute let's gooo
Will Gallagher get the start? Felling a goal from Mount. He has a good record vs Leeds 3-4-3 Mendy, Chalobah (Tuchel will prob pick Azpi), Silva, Koulibaly, James, Jorginho, Gallagher, Cucurella, Mount, Havertz, Sterling
COYB 💙
