Chelsea vs Leeds United (PL) Tuesday 10th February 19:30 GMT

One other thing about tonight’s game. Watching a bit of West Ham v Utd, the difference in atmosphere between theirs and ours is striking. I really don’t rate the atmosphere at Stamford Bridge. And that’s probably harder to address than the on field issues.

 
We’re an absolute disgrace one of the worst teams in the league and we’ve f**ked it up

 
I was with you up to this point. Wait, what?

Maybe he should learn just enough Italian to live up to his name? 😁

I didn’t think the Caicedo tackle was a foul but brain dead to tackle there. How VAR can’t see that the Leeds player did that leg flick lark is beyond me.

Also for the equalizer, I just saw the replay again…Leeds player handles the ball deliberately not accidentally. Again a mystery how they have it. VAR is a joke.

Never a deliberate handball. We had more than enough chances to clear it. Caicedo just switched off and then Sanchez and Josh f**ked up between them.

 
The Acheampong bashing is a bit wide of the mark here.

He might well become an elite CB but he is not ready yet. He can be sloppy with his distribution and decision making, and with the way that we play at the back, with no safety net, it's always a danger.

Therefore you cannot have him at CB with a waste if space like Gusto next to him. Similarly you can't expect Chalobah to be the experienced one when he is having to help Hato through who, by the way, is way short of what he was bigged up to be.

Acheampong will be great if we play him at RB with an experienced quality CB next to him (errm). Once he has matured in the role and a bit more experienced in these physical matches he can then take the CB role.

Both youth player FBs played parts in both goals tonight but this potential line up should have been foreseen and catered for in order to avoid the potential vulnerability

I think it was a penalty -- just can't see Caicedo touching the fooball, so he only catches the left leg of the runner.

I agree that the ref missed the handball. I'm 100% sure it was intentional. Maybe it qualifies in "it has made the player’s body unnaturally bigger" category.

However, my understanding the play that led to the goal is a subsequent one, so VAR can no longer interfere. It's made even worse given that the assist came from Josh, so it's like possession shifted back to us and then back to them before the goal.

Utd losing what a chance to secure top 4 fuxking w**kers

Top 4, at the moment I don't care. This is a grudge match and they once again get to lord it over us, and it is all on us. Unlike at their place we played well, were the better side and blew it in 10 sloppy minutes and missing golden chances.

This one hurts.

 
Really hope we win cos if we don’t you know Josh will get the blame and be left out for ages again.

We allow the softest f**king goals, i hope Sarr adds a lot of physicality to the team. Is Cucurella injured or something ?

I agree, I actually thought he looked decent before that goal. For me this is on our constant reshuffling of the back line. Acheampong needs to play alongside someone with more experience and leadership. If Fofana can’t stay fit then we need an actual grown up CB

 
Can’t focus too much on the Palmer chance, knee height, fired across a wet pitch: it is what it is. Caicedo however, forever an unreliability, can talk all day about how he never gets a rest, but the lack of discipline will always cost us.

 
United nick a point.

We stay in 5th

I was about to say Marko Marin but he was a corner specialist (honestly) so he could at least strike the ball well.

Out of curiosity @loz - Garnacho or Hudson-Odoi?

I'd pick @loz

Apparently Cucurella felt a tweak in his hamstring at HT so was taken off as a precaution. At least that was the explanation.

 
Of course Utd get the injury time draw. We fcked an easy win today

 
Is he the shortest on the pitch? Not much use in the box at free kick?

Back post? Not much use AT TAKING the kick either that’s the issue last kick of the game make it a good one
