Closed Leeds United 1-5 Chelsea

[DYC. 7,542]

I am wondering the same thing. Hazard contributed when the game was latterly over.

He won the corner that led to the 2-1. Good cameo overall.

Lamps showed some heart that I haven't seen for a while.

It looked like he was the only one aware of the rivalry between us and Leeds. Nice to finally see some physical dominance in the middle of the park.

Some of those tackles he put in made me proud. Especially that one on that Brown twat.

Moses was fantastic last night. He brings a direct, attacking threat in pace and strength. Sometimes you just need to bomb down the wing and sling a ball into the box instead of dancing around the edge of ithe box looking for that perfect pass. Well done my son.

That pass to Hazrad. Brilliant.

Apologies if a repost.

At first I thought it was a blatant offside so I refused to get excited about it lol. The pass was just superb, just like Eden's movement and finish. Recently, he had not been that much clinical so it is nice to see this type of a finish.

Great comeback win! Thought we could come from behind to win since we didn't play too badly in the first half but never expected us bang in 5 goals. Was worried fatigue could well creep in especially going 1-0 down but the players showed great character to bounce back in the way they did. And since the 5 goals came against Leeds, will take that!

Also, we somehow got away without playing an actual DM in the pivot.

Actually forgot how much I hated Leeds.

But I also forgot what an absolute cunt Michael Brown is. Then you've got Diouf and Warnock. Beating them was a brilliant Christmas present but I really thought we were awful in the first half. I'm going to avoid criticising performances that I normally would and put it all down to the effects of long flights and minimal rest.

Glad we've got this period of games out of the way and we can get back to normality against Villa.

Just having a flick through the match thread.

@YouNameIt - I hope Leeds trash us really hard. This is simply not good enough. It's pathetic and embarassing.

@Changingman_2000 - fingers crossed (that Rafa gets sacked).

@didierforever - come on leeds... 3-0 and benitez out... please... come on...

What. The. Fuck.

The support last night was fantastic yet you get plastics literally hoping the team we despise more than any get a result just because Rafa's in charge (yes he got some stick last night but he did his job).

What. The. Fuck.

Blue smoke bomb in the Chelsea end

[couris 232]

Yeah i was too, which is why i couldn't be arsed to respond to those people.

As for Torres, i just don't get him - it's normal for a striker to be bad outside the box, like he is when he gives the ball away, makes stupid passes and can't hold the ball up, but it's very weird for that same striker to also be bad inside the box which he is with his movement, touch and finishing, sigh.

I know we won't get Falcao in January, but we definitely need someone else to come in and relegate Torres to backup option. At least he normally plays well against the bad teams.

He is playing too much. Pretty easy to see.

There were smoke bombs for every goal until they ran out of them! The first one went bang like a firework right next to me, sh*t myself.

Last night was great, haven't enjoyed a game so much since Spurs away couple of months ago.
