Leeds Utd v Chelsea Match Thread - Cooper, Costa & Klich Out, Struijk, Alioski & Harrison In

[Finnatic]

Playing out of position and maybe 3/4 years away from his prime

Fair point

[The Subhuman]

ignore

[Cjay]

Big Koch is on the bench! !!!!!!!!!!

As other have said i presume Rodders isnt totally match fit? Roberts wont make it here I'm confident of that, if MB wants a few more games to prove it to himself thats ok i suppose.


Chelsea pace on the break is a worry as is our manto man system which better individuals seem to just walk through.

But hey ho.

After seeing the line up I am fearing a drubbing....but the 40mph wind may help us !

For all the talk about Roberts he is the only player i can remember MB publicly challenging.

Basically said he hasnt proven he deserves a place in the squad and only plays through injuries to others.

The man is playing for his future

[Irish Ian]

Chelsea change their formation to negate our wingers.

Another compliment to Leeds.

A side with so many clean sheets changes shape against us.

He has a huge chance here, he wont get it at Leeds after this season if he doesnt take it

[HarryofOz]

Great news that both Struijk and Koch are fit enough to be available.

Six changes for Chelsea from Monday's win over Everton. I can't ever imagine MB making that many changes apart from fielding a weakened side for a cup game.

An U23 side for a cup game, more like.

[mothbanquet]

Let's just enjoy this one and hope for a result. Next game will be the must-win, not this.

They have some suspended for the CL midweek so I guess that’s why

[1964white]

Chelsea have a CL match v Atletico Madrid next Wednesday to think about.

I see Chelsea playing two DM's

[Overman]

Any game against the Chelsea scum, is a must win.

[Fridge]

That's us Losing then

and

In Bielsa we trust

together, is a bit incongruous

But I get what you saying

I ultimately trust in our manager but don’t rate Roberts’ final product and am a bit nervous of playing without an in form Cooper and with Alioski at LB.

Could have our full XI and I still think we’d lose.

[Irish Ian]

Lets see if we can get to 20 minutes without falling behind ( a rare event)

Won't be healthy for the crowdies though

[YorkshireSquare]

Phillips injured? Great!

And unlikely

I've more faith in Alf Roberts that used to be on Corrie
