closed Chelsea 3-1 Leeds

[Vesper 27,310]

Reece MOTM for me

[OhForAGreavsie 5,775]

A test passed. Not with flying colours but ok. We don't have all the pieces in the right place yet. We might even have all the right pieces but another small step forward.

GET THE FUCK IN!

Made harder work of it than we need to due to terrible finishing. Should've scored about 5 today.

Total domination in the 2nd half from us. Snuffed everything out. 

Reece, Mount, Silva, and Kante were superb.

[Milan 17,835]

Super 3 points BUT

this victory comes at terrible, awful and great price - we lost Ziyech for several weeks, Thiago will surely miss some time too.  I still cannot believe Thiago continued to fight for us, even with one leg. Warrior and legend

[Vytis33 1,041]

Several people MOTM today (Mount, Reece, Thiago Silva, Kante) what a performance.  So easy to imagine us losing this game in recent years.   Absolutely buzzing!

Werner's pace is marvelous thing to watch.

Last minute sprint still no one can catch him

Last season we would have crumbled. Frank has done an excellent job making this team resilient.

We now have belief we can be winners - that is priceless.

Gotta give it to Leeds. This is much better than the stream of mid-table teams who come to the Bridge and play a low block 5-4-1

[Special Juan 27,103]

Fucking massive win, absolute huge.

Time to direct later but this was a win of stature 

[Laylabelle 9,296]

That miss hahahha...how?!

Job done and dusted..onto the next

[Azul 1,615]

Happy we got the three points, that's all that matters at the end of the day. We should have been way more clinical though, let's hope the lads learn from this.

I'd add Giroud to the list. He made that goal.

Yes, it was a great assist by Reece, but that was a striker's finish.

Good win against a difficult opponent; they've got some good players - very skillful and quick up front. No wonder they've been doing well.

[DDA 9,570]

Great win. The first half was awful but the second we showed fantastic dominance. 

Silva is an absolute monster.

Mount for me was MotM. He was everywhere.

I like how Mount let Poveda go after that Chilwell challenge, smart play.

Quick assessment just after the game:

Overall very pleased. We really showed some fight and steely determination today against a difficult opponent with the worst possible start. There is so much more character and fight in this side this year, it bodes well.

Realistically should have won by 4 or 5 at least but pleased with the chances being created because sooner or later they'll be scored.

People worrying about Werner shouldn't. One of his best traits seems to be that misses won't affect him mentally, he keeps making the same runs and isn't afraid to get chances and his assist at the end of the game was an excellent, willing run in the 93rd minute.

Hopefully Ziyech isn't too bad and Silva is ok.

Man of the match for me was Mount. Incredible effort and hopefully he's made that central position his own now because he is so much better in there.
