Chelsea are not a physical side, particularly in defense. Need to “Get into em” tonight. No prisoners taken.

I did get the impression he would play, obviously not the case.

Re: Chelsea v Leeds United Match Thread
So DCL didn't pull through his illness.
I don't fancy Nmecha on his own up top, he can't hold the ball up. Odds on he will get subbed off.
Strange to play Justin as well as a back five, that's ultra defensive.
Okafor dropped after his best match for us?

Reminds me of Big Sam that
6 defenders
2 holding midfielders.
