GAME WAS THERE FOR THE TAKING

CHELSEA WERE VERY AVERAGE, JUST SPURRED ON IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE FIRST MANAGER BOUNCE PLACEBO

WE DID ZERO IN THE SECOND HALF APART FROM A DCL STRAIGHT AT THE KEEPER (SUPRISE SUPRISE)

I DONT CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT THE CUP, MORE THAN STAYING IN THE LEAGUE THATS THE PRIORITY

BUT OH MY GOD, THIS IS THE SECOND AWFUL PERFORMANCE IN A ROW

AND HOW DCL STAYS ON WHEN TANAKA AND OKOFOR ARE TAKEN OFF SERIOUSLY?


Edit to say Chelsea could not have dreamed how easy the second half was for them after the 65 minute mark, no swarms of attacks no all hands on deck, nothing

Just that stupid smirk on DCL face when he is offside/ tugging on opponent/ missing headers/ or heading at the keeper!

If, but, woulda, shoulda - small margin we did not score our opening they scored theirs. That was pretty much the difference.

It was a good cup run and we fell short today.

That was bad for us. A decent result and Rosenior would've kept his job.

Unfortunately we're too nice. Don't have any players like Keane, who would knock over their own nan to score. We could do with a couple of winners next season and I don't mean from RB Salzburg.

Little bit concerned we've put in two pretty awful performances in in a row.

We need to turn up vs Burnley.

Could be worse, we could be the Blunts. They haven't won at Wembley in over 100 years.

He's right tbf. We aren't safe yet, despite what some on here say. You're going to need over 40 points this year.

Comes with being a Leeds supporter in suppose. The players don't make it easy for us supporters. 55 years of it for me.

It's a reasonable concern DDB.

We've been very poor last 2 games.

Where was the bravery and intensity from the Manure game?

Just hope this doesn’t affect confidence for our next few critical games. Move on, no point in wasting energy on these cheating, dirty Chelsea s*um.
