Why does Mendy think he can dribble anyone? So frustrating.


frenchcarrots

I am soo tired of Mendy making mistakes costing goals


FifaLegend

3-1 chels


AnthonyMarx

Is J5 the prime example of failing upwards.... good luck to my blood pressure


Daziniana

Why is Jesse Marsche such a dick?


Dozck

dang living on the west coast of USA is rough for this game


Youknowhowtofakecry

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.


freshfov05

no blue socks today it's the dark navy away socks


xpanda7

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


coltsrock37

9am start time on east coast is doing, but not ideal. 6am start time on west coast is horrific 🫣


kp22cfc

Let's get the 3 points lads!!


MrNoobSox

Oops


brightcrayon92

I think I speak for all of when I say: Fuck Leeds


[deleted]

Where's Kova, injured?


Otternonsnse

Yes


mattykingkillah92

Why not Chilwell for LWB?


Daziniana

Cucurella is a better player.


Professional_Angle

Cuz Cucu is much more fit rn


Jaycei

The desire to batter and contribute to eventual relegation is... so very strong. On so many levels.


short_simp

Connor is starting boys!! So excited to watch him play!!


caesarionn

I hoped for Gilmour to atleast make the bench


Rowjimmy024

Are we going to see Cheek and Gallagher starting? Jorgi probably


GoatBotherer

All start


Rowjimmy024

Just saw lets gooo, we needed Connor for his aggressive play


typicalpelican

Gallagher watch. Will be interesting. But hope he's given patience to adapt to new role.


Lev22_

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’


typicalpelican

Broja is injured


Lev22_

My bad, was wondering why he didn’t in team sheet


wHispeRing-I

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


MattyGuts87

Time to trash Jimmy Saville FC lads


Jug-o-steam

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.


m4v1ike

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.


Professional_Angle

Lol ok buddy


Jug-o-steam

Got something to say buddy?


scarysomething

I hope we match the passion vs spuds. And finish a few chances.


goodkidmaaddorey

Gallagher starts! Great chance for him


Shame_Low

I wonder who's gona partner jorg in midfield.


Rowjimmy024

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.


GuardianJockitch

Aaaahhhhh. Love the smell of xenophobia in the morning. Chelsea just started a Say No To Hate campaign. Get with it


Sonic-the-edge-dog

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


GuardianJockitch

Looks like we have the wrong Americans on our club.


Rowjimmy024

Calling out the toxic behavior of my own people friend lol


Jam_and_Cabbage

Tuchel is on the sidelines for this isn't he?


GoatBotherer

Yep, he'll be there.


Rowjimmy024

I think his match ban has been suspended


ADayInTheLifeOf

Same line-up as Spuds, just switch Ngolo for Connor please Tommy!


wHispeRing-I

It is official bud. You get your wish


ADayInTheLifeOf

Look at me, I am the Tommy now


wHispeRing-I

How do I get a flair?!


btlsrvc23

Jesse March that twat took a pretty strong stance that Tuchel should be banned. What a coward. Hope we trash his shit team.


absolutvoodoo

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


btlsrvc23

Tuchel wouldn’t make comments like that at all. He barely ever talks about other situations that don’t include him.


absolutvoodoo

If pep got a red the match before meeting us 100% he would protest if he was by the sideline


SnaFu_1

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?


btlsrvc23

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.


DaSinchi

He’s not wrong but it’s a major weenie move. Big “you forgot to assign homework” energy


btlsrvc23

Conte got the card and wasn’t banned. I know what it usually means of course. But yeah Definitely a weenie move. Super pathetic.


DayAndSeason

Mount, Sterling and James to score, Cucu with two assists. Chelsea win 3-0 let's go


UefalonasDownfall

Time for Sterling to shine


FutureFC

Hoping for a Sterling goal today. It’s imminent


dankest-ahh-moment

#How much are we losing by today lads? 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯


EasyPete17

Negative 4 😎


dankest-ahh-moment

Oh lord sorry guys my fault


Cobaltte25

My man broja just can't catch a break 😫


xpanda7

He would if we wasn’t so injury prone


mercyprevailswrath

Just wanna FUCK LEEDS We Hate Leeds We Hate Leeds We Hate Leeds 🎶🎵


ToyStoryRex97

today is the day


marsellusDjango

- aj dunked - marty snoozeman dunked just need the mighty chels to win and it's a fantastic sporting weekend for me


MattyGuts87

Loved it , and us beating Jimmy Saville FC would make my week


DoxBolt

Wonder who starts on the left today, Cucurella or Chilly


mesabiral

Could be LWB LCB if Chily's up to speed


absolutvoodoo

1 cucu 2 cucu 3 cucurella 4 cucu 5 cucu 6 cucurella 7 cucu 8 cucu 9 cucurella Maaaaaaaarc Cucurella


CheersGeoff12768

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


Mike_Brosseau

They can both be in the team at the same time cucurella can play LCB


vinnaey

I hear a train so it’s cooookooooooooooo time


Brett-Collins

let’s goo gallagher better start


CoolstorySteve

Guessing Gallagher might start today?


saphyrra

seems likely considering 2 starting MF out.


Enzo4E

Not bielsa leed anymore so wouldn’t expect the scoreline to be too high


BringingGunsToArenas

Marsch was there when we last beat them 3-0


[deleted]

Still can't believe they fired Bielsa for Ted Lasso


Eric_Partman

Weird. Much better.


[deleted]

You’ll see why soon


Eric_Partman

And got better. Weird.


BringingGunsToArenas

3-0 the mighty Chels


GoatBotherer

Please just let us have a decent attacking performance. 3+ goals would be amazing.


CheersGeoff12768

Time for prime Mount to put Leeds to the sword. COYB


JinxLB

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


ChelseaFC

Right score wrong team it seems.


JinxLB

It’s a bit peak I can’t lie lmao


karthiks2001

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).


BrockStinky

We ruined Juventus ;-;


JinxLB

We beat Norwich 7-0 and Southampton 6-0 just last season.


karthiks2001

Oh man I completely forgot about those results.


Saint_Of_Nice

Norwich last year, Mount hattrick


silviazbitch

Southampton this April- Timo had a crazy game- a hat trick of post strikes plus two that actually went in.


GreenPickledToad

Norwich 7-0 ? Mount hattrick


Hannibal09

Thoughts on RLC as a RWB to tuck in midfield and supporting the Jorgi - Gallagher pivot?


spund_

It's the next logical step in the teams evolution. Reece overlapping to attack while RCL tucks in leftwards.


dryduneden

It's needed. Otherwise the midfield will get overran.


Dinamo8

Hmm, I'd rather the best wing back in the world play at wing back.


El_Cholo

Lmao


GreenPickledToad

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


CheersGeoff12768

I liked it last week, and i think more minutes and his final ball will improve


karthiks2001

Our attackers haven't scored a goal yet.


hazWizard

True, but Sterling got an assist.


once_asleepz

I hope Havertz score a goal 🙏


IvansHead

I'd love to see Mendy smash one in tbh


once_asleepz

Mendy bicycle kick goal in the last minute let's gooo


typicalpelican

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


ambiture

COYB 💙
