Leeds United 3 - 0 Chelsea

[MoroccanBlue 5,199]

There may not be anyone better than Tuchel who is available, but at this point in time you are kidding yourself if you believe we will ever be anything more than a cup team with Tuchel. 

[Superblue 6,331]

Been out run and out fought today which is quite frankly unforgiveable and a number of these players need to take a long hard look at themselves.

You can have poor games, but the application and effort today has been pathetic.

[Blue Armour 4,165]

Funny how we're talking about lack of strikers, and Leeds have put 3 past us without any CF.

That's it. It's not we've been unlucky. Leeds have been fab and they have worked so hard for this win and deserve this!

New season , same shits  from us .
Every season same shits . 

Same issues without answers from years .

[Seymop 78]

A complete shambles. If Tuchel really is an “elite coach”, he needs a long look in the mirror. We just looked a complete mess - no passion, way too many players were totally non existent including Kai,Mason,Jorginho and we never looked in the game. We weren’t even unlucky , we hit self destruct !! Dreadful

Rodrigo is their striker

They 're not Southampton.

Strangely enough Tino Liveramento will be the Leeds manager when that result happens. (Did I forget to mention the year for that result? 😀)

The players were outrun from start to finish but it's also the tactical set up. They were all lost at sea.. the attacking patterns are a fucking joke.

Drop this 3 back nonsens. 

We need a classic 4-2-3-1

[chelsea_4_eva 1,142]

One player I will blame for our loss, Mendy. We needed to keep it together and hold on, ride the storm and we might have had a chance. Mendy made that impossible for us, that mistake was unforgivable especially when he just got away with one a few minutes prior.

Also how comical was it to see J5 trying to deal with that press.

To be fair it's not on Tuchel that the players haven't put the required effort in today. They've been out battled. Compare this to the application last week where we were all round superb and it's frustrating because last week should be the benchmark to where our standards should be week in week out. I was always concerned that was a home vs Spurs performance and we wouldn't match that intensity and we didn't.

Too many inconsistent performers at the club who will look incredible one week and amateur the following week and it's what has caused us problems for a number of years now with being able to remain consistent and mount a title challenge.

When we get out battled we always seem to gift teams an opening and it's happened again today. The mentality of the squad as a whole is questionable. We had ridden the initial storm well and should have been able to keep the game tight going into half time and build upon that but we've gifted Leeds an opening and in a similar question to the mentality of the group, we've conceded again almost immediately after and it's as good as game over from that point onwards against a team who won't start running and a crowd that will spur them on.

I rewinded and looked. He was celebrating with his staff, looked up to find Tuchel and reached out. Was more of a hand touch than hand shake due to their distance.

Those people who said Koulibaly is better than Rüdiger are the same people who said Willian is better than Hazard when we bought him

Those that continue to stray Tuchel away from any criticism fail to ever mention this. Instead, they will blame the players to which Sterling, a multiple league winning player, is now looking lost in the attack. 

Face it. This is a coaching issue moreso than a quality issue.
