We need a result like that!

lololol

Have to hail the teams character today. I thought it would be another one of those days when Conor got sent off but we turned things around and earned our luck. We have been so unlucky for weeks including today so more than deserved fortune to swing back for once.

Tuchel is weird guy, when he has low trust in some players the first bad game they will be on the bench for a long time. If he favors a player, it doesn’t matter how bad they get they will still be starting.

One person who we have not talked about is Mendy, he has been terrible for a while now. 

Mendy is ok as a keeper. Well, 90% ok and better than Courtois when he was playing for us.
The problem is his distribution and he did n't have the chance today to pass the ball to a Leicester attacker !
For that reason -and not for today's performance- he deserves some benching.

Ich weiss nicht was is happening but it breaks my nerves.

Boehly and co went to the locker room after the match. Assuming to congratulate their fight and praise the character on display.

I see Leeds got smacked back down to Earth after we made them look like prime Klopp Liverpool last weekend. 😒😒😒

That's just standard, isn't it?

On a high and knackered after their cup final against us.

Not reallly. Brighton look strong - heading the table.

they keep losing class players, if they finish in top half of the table Graham Potter is a wizard like Harry

When it is all said and done…. My weekend is happier after 3 points!!

[Johnnyeye 7,442]

huge 3 points considering we were playing with 10 men, great response from the lads. James is world class, also great from Sterling. On to the next one

[Blues11 213]

3 points is great. Going to need every point we can get and what seems to be a much more competitive season than last.

That being said we've beat two bad teams and we badly need changes. No clue why LC didn't press the shit out of us after we went down one man, that second Sterling goal they basically watched us pass it up the field. Gave Jorginho too much space and that's when he's a pretty decent player. 

It's time to give Broja a chance and bench Havertz or Mount for a game, they're not providing anything.

This team is odd at times...

On one hand, it can do incredible stuff against the odds, like drawing away to Liverpool despite being a man down, nearly turning a tie against Madrid in the CL, and rescuing 3 points here.

And on the other, it can be wasteful with chances created, and also leak goals from individual errors.

We are still missing that one talisman like figure that we had in Drogba/Hazard. Kante when fully fit and in form is our only bet atm.

I think we will likely see some rotation on Tue for our front 3 attackers.

Doubt it.

There's surely no way Tuchel fields the same front three. Starting Broja would make perfect sense considering the opposition. 

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

I def don't want Havertz and Mount, Mount has been appalling so far this season, the worst against Leicester.

That's why myself and a lot of other people just wonder why we're so one dimensional. Against better teams we'll have chances to counter and I actually like our formation because we need the coverage. 

Against teams that barely send numbers forward to be conservative? We still play the same way and they're probably glad we do. 

We went on a unreal run of defensive football when we won the champions league. The offense has never clicked so sooner or later Tuchel is going to have to figure something out.
