Chelsea v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[VinnysTattoo]

I have a Chelsea loving mate coming round for the game so I'm hoping for a decent performance.

No doubt we'll see changes due to some injury niggles.

The pressure is all their manager. Lose and he could be gone.

[Barlow Boy]

Seems there are plenty of injury worries floating about on Twitter for Chelsea game …. Bamford, Jimmy, Rutter, James

All of the above were mentioned by Farke in his press conference yesterday mate.

What no forshaw !!!

Get Firpo in the shop window and pray he has a blinder, then Chelsea come and pay £25m for him and we finally make a profit on one of the clowns 80 players he signed...

Then my alarm went off, and i stuck the kettle on.

[Leeds1000]

I want us to knock them out end off! They are struggling in the League, no chance of CL. They have poor players on long term contracts and will have to sell, hopefully at a third of the price and then they will hopefully get docked 30 points reduced to 6 points on bribery sorry i meant appeal.

What a farce of a club.

The only problem with that Kenny is Firpo, if he even plays, is going to spend a lot of time defending and we all know that's not a good thought, and certainly not going to show him in at his brilliant best

Firpo, if you read this im only joking mate, have a great game

No i'm hoping Chelsea come down a peg or 3 with changes, and Firpo can be at his Carlos best flying down the wing like a man possessed, fck the defending thought.

He might even look like a Brazilian !

Don't we just love the good old days,

My main worry is Meslier, he has history of fluffing his lines in the big London games, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea have all benefiited from his generosity if I recall.

Poor control, weak shot stoppping, and giving the ball away comes to mind.
I hope the occasion doesnt get to him like I believe it has before.

[Cjay]

I'd hope we come at this like we did the Arsenal game few years back.

Similarities between Chelsea now and them then

Weren't playing at the high standards they had previously

Fans were unhappy.

Team was low on confidence.

We absolutely battered them 1st half, bit more luck or quality we are 2,3 up and likely go on and win.

I'd hope we take the same attitude vs Chelsea.

Just get right at them from the first minute.

Fans will be edgy enough and a team under pressure can make mistakes.

We need a brave performance imo.

[YorkshireSquare]

Absolutely got to take it to them tomorrow night

[Kennyb41]

Absolutely got to take it to them tomorrow night

It's a must, it's how he's taught them to play, and i want it decided in 60 mins and draw Coventry next at home.

Piroe 2 Firpo 1- Leeds 1-3 up after 60 and coast when he introduces PB and Rutter, no extra time please.

What no forshaw !!!

Forshaw is back in Wetherby, I spotted him coming out of Costa with his dog. Probably making use of his life pass at the Adam Forshaw Suite at Thorp Arch.

What ,no stretcher emoji

[GreennWhite]

As long as this game is over after 90 mins ( or whatever time they add on ) we definitely dont want this game going to extra time. If we win that would be great, if we loose i wont loose any sleep. Saturdays game is much more important.
