A point few expected us to get, excellent result. One point closer to safety.

Good solid performance that.

For all the shots Chelsea had imo Mendy made the 2 best saves from Roberts and Raph.

Thought Roberts had his best game for ages, some decent runs and good passes, touch isnt good enough unfortunately; but better.

Llorente and Struijk did well, nice to have a bit of height their.

Dallas was poor imo, easily turned to often.

Harrison continued his dire form, Raph was ok without being spectacular.

Both Rodrigo and Raph should have scored.

I worry for Rodrigo, doesnt seem to fit the style imo.

Really happy with that result

Roberts, Dallas & Phillips contenders for the MOTM

Phillips gets my vote, did all the messy stuff so well.

Well done Leeds :clap:

2 points dropped imo. We easily had the better chances, Roberts, Raph, Rodrigo, their best chance came from a lucky fluke deflection, which says it all. The bias from the ref to Chelsea was embarrassing.

At last we ground out a draw. Fair play to Leeds , they battled well and deserved the point. Again a bit wasteful Infront of goal which is concerning making this an excellent point.

Actually thought the back 6 of Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Ali and KP did very well.

Limited Chelsea to half chances and decent situations

They had quite a few clear cut chances too, havertz in particular should have scored, chilwell too I think and a couple of goal line scraps. Draw a fair result in my book

Havertz is just sh*te, I don't think he'd get in our team.

Agree. I still can't tell you what his best position is going to be. I know he has just come back but he does look half a yard short, i was saying the same thing after his time out with Corvid. He has a languid style about him which may make him look slouchy, but i just thought in a game of this intensity he lacked a bit of desire.

They had decent situations, but no real clear cut chances.

Rodrigo had a free header middle of the goal.

Raph's turn and shot was the best save of the game.

Even the Robeets effort forced a far better save than Mendy had.

A draw was fair imo but we didnt deserve to lose, Chelsea had more shots but scoring chances? Not for me.

Our next two games are of paramount importance with Citeh, Scum, and Liverpool in succession afterwards.

This was an encouraging performance going in to Fulham and Sheffield.

No better time to face Liverpool. They needed two dodgy penalties to beat us with their best X1 out.

He clearly has quality but never seems to fit no matter what role we give him. Doesnt look right in cm and gets to close to the striker as a cm and it leaves our midfield miles to open.

But he had a chance as the striker today and MB subs him, says it all.

Still think the club made a massive error going for Rodrigo Moreno over Rodrigo De Paul.

Especially considering the seasons they are each having.

MB clearly isnt convinced by Rodrigo and thats a massive concern.

0-0 Against a big 6 club(with an even bigger cheque book) who have not lost in 11...good result.
