A partnership we need to start talking about.

[1964white]

A very happy set of players after the game.

Harrison for England! He has to get that call right?

[1964white]

Six of the 20 goals Leeds have scored under Jesse Marsch have originated from set-pieces and they're likely to continue to feature heavily this season.

Remember when we were poor at set-pieces attacking & defending?

[Aussieleeds]

Just watched most of the game (missed the first 20min).
Our pressure on the ball was superb.
Our ability to get men behind the ball when Chelsea broke was excellent
Defending as a unit - when player gets beaten there’s another immediately pressuring
We are a different team on set pieces - at both ends
Aaronson great, but Adam’s just as good.
Crowd amazing

Tuchel , "we had to catch the bus the plane wasn't available" Really !!

I nearly spat my wine out when he came out with that comment after the game....Tuchel is beginning to look like a real plonker!

Remember how “nice” Tuchel was when he first came to Chelsea- an absolute media love in. Then Chelsea lost a game ….

[whiteswan]

The commentator on Sky sports, second half....."Leeds have run 11 kilometres more than Chelsea, that's almost to Bradford and back"

[1964white]

Just watched the whole 90 minutes again.

Tyler Adams MOTM by a country mile.

A tenacious & complete defensive midfield performance all over the pitch.

Kalvin who?

[Rook]

The one time I want Karen Carney to be on tv and she bloody isnt!

[1964white]

[Chilli D]

Kalvin who?

Never thought I'd see the day you said that 64.

[John in Louisiana]

Didn't win our second game last year until All Hallows' Eve.

[Victor_OTT_17]

Didn't win our second game last year until All Hallows' Eve.

Yep. Us and Newcastle had won 3 matches between us (well just us) running up to Xmas 2021. Different story now: they have been a revelation since the turn of the year and we are bang in form carrying on from the Brentford rescue mission. Long may our good form continue

[1964white]

Never thought I'd see the day you said that 64.

I didn't to be honest, Chilli

Still got fond memories of Kalvin, really hope he is a huge success at Citeh.

We move on.....what a signing Adams is proving to be?

What I like about him he is all over the pitch like a rash breaking up play with tackles & interceptions, but he rarely commits a foul

Took us seven matches to win our first match v a awful Watford team, also seven matches to score seven goals.

This season we've won two of our first three games & already netted seven goals.

Our pre-season was much improved on 2021/22 too.

As I said in pre-season, the team is so much better than last year. Also if Marsch was there the whole season, we'd have finished 14th, so he didn't do too badly.

You can see the energy and vigour from 20/21 is back, that was missing last year. Only this time the squad is a lot younger, so it can last longer this time around.
