PRE/POST-MATCH DISCUSSION, LIVE CHAT AND ANALYSIS



2021/22 Premier League Matchday 14
11th December, Saturday 2021
Stamford Bridge
15:00 Kick Off (UK time)

[NikkiCFC 7,587]

Leeds have just 3 wins in 15 games.

Phillips out, possibly Bamford. 

Raphinha will be huge threat for our left side. 

Really hope at least one MF is back.

[chelsea_4_eva 1,143]

Hopefully at least one starting MF is fit to play... who would have thought we would lose all 3 starting MFs at the same time...

[Blue Armour 4,165]

Need to plug the defense.

7 goals in the last 3 games., and you can bet teams like Leeds will be sniffing blood.

Hope at least one of Kante/Jorgi is fit.

No James in midfield. No Saul.

[Laylabelle 9,296]

Hopefully isn't a repeat of all the chances,all the ball but nothing to show for it. Need to start picking up points before the gap gets bigger.

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

At this point in time virtually all of our midfielders are out. RLC, Kante, Kovacic and Jorginho.

What is this madness?

[Vesper 27,328]

A must win or the season starts to fall apart for real.

I am really in a negative mood so will not be posting a lot. I am unhappy on multiple Chels fronts, and it serves no good purpose to bring it here.

Really unhappy with Tuchel bottling the last 10 minutes. He fucked us hard not pulling Sarr and tossing on Rudiger and Thiago (at least one).

I want Sarr GONE. Ship Saul back too.

Fuck.

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

I honestly have no other solution than to maybe play Christensen and Mount in midfield. Instruct Christensen to always sit. 

[Mário César 814]

Resume of our injuries?

[NikkiCFC 7,587]

 

[OneMoSalah 8,615]

This has to be the game where the rot stops.

I know we are looking a bit light in MF but still think some will play through the pain barrier if needed. 

A clean sheet is also a must to get things back to normal.

[Mário César 814]

Chilwell, Kova, Chalobah and Kanté OUT!

[milka 3,308]

in other words, we will still be without midfielders  versus  this pressing Leeds 

----------------- Mendy

----Christensen---Thiago Silva--Rudiger

---CHO/Azpi-----Jorginho--James-----Alonso/Azpi

---------------Mount-----Havertz

----------------------Werner

[NikkiCFC 7,587]

RLC and Jorginho in pivot. And surely Ziyech will start. 

[Pizy 17,860]

Opponent in poor form and missing many key players. Chelsea should smack them, surely? Sounds like a familiar pattern… 🙄

Unfortunately, we’re also in poor form and missing many key players. But really, Leeds should be the perfect opponents to stop the rot. They play almost suicidal football even when fully fit which sees them get played through with ease. Leeds use the sort of tactical setup that players like Lukaku, Werner, Pulisic, and CHO should feast on. They’re hugely susceptible table to runs in behind on the break. It’s how Man United have put like 5 past them in each of their last two meetings.

We have to win this game in convincing style & try to put this current blip behind us. If we slip up again, our season could start to unravel.
