Chelsea - v - Leeds United *** Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

The Sunday hanging slightly over verdict is we were robbed but kind of helped em put the cash in the bag kind of robbed.

Must admit I feel like sh1t today - getting too old for these silly drinking binges - I blame Billy and Belfast.

On to Citeh.....

🤣 bet you feel better than me! Billy is still in a coma.

Still gutted about the result but a lot of positives from that game - thought Chelsea may hammer us but we deserved at least a point and a team performance from everyone with good performances from Klich, Robert’s and Firpo.

If we can keep that form and spirit going we will pick up points

We all thought Chelsea were gonna hammer us and that is what makes the way it ended even more gutting.

But agree there are a lot of positives to take out of the game but we have to cut out these stupid mistakes.

Alongside eminent Psychologists & Psychologist Dr Allan Johnston both Roberts & Forshaw often take time to discuss matters of Mental Health issues through their own experiences while listening to others views and experiences via the Leeds United Mental Health Foundation - which is an inspiration to all involved within such group therapy chats and any subsequent follow on private communication particularly with the career injuries nightmares they've had & corresponding surrounding mental health dilemmas often exasperated by social media comment intrusion.

That they make time to talk to others about their own mental health issues 'one to one' via the Leeds United Mental Health Foundation is commendable & committed as are their performances on the pitch - club statistical facts tell a story & show what TV matches do not with regard to positioning, movement & what's expected off the ball for the team tactically.Folks should check them out regularly.

Some players get all the plaudits for on-ball skills, the ones that kids like to emulate & others do the disciplined job they're asked which is easy to dismiss but nether less is just as important for MB and those that are lucky enough to sit in a stadia and really focus on players movements off the ball, then a wider understanding starts to unfold for sure particularly watching Leeds.

Takes time for the 'Total football' concept to kick in but nothing wrong in creating the 'Ajax school of thought' into helping players maximise all skills & able to adapt playing in all areas of the pitch, IMO, though obviously it's harder for certain mindsets and older pro's admittedly.

So yep, wish I could say more, but Leeds are really trying to do it correctly.
Surely anybody could see that against Chelsea - an inner determination with self confidence was surfacing particularly among the the younger players.

Onwards to City !

Just seen 2 more ridiculous penalty decisions in my opinion, 1 West Ham didn't get and one Leicester did get. Both ridiculous decisions. The quality of today's officials must be the worst in many a year.

Doesn't help when players are cheating as well - just makes it even harder for the officials or in our case easier

But that's what VAR is there for.

I thought we’d win mate! I’ve detested them cnuts for years long before the dirty Russian money. Right up there with scum. Bitter pill to swallow yesterday after we put a good shift in, hate losing like that the best of times but to that scumbag plastic club, bad taste still today.

Hope we haven’t picked up any new knocks and we didn’t over do ourselves for the next encounter … a LEEDS win
