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

[BelfastAndy]

I cant hear anything everyone is muted

Think I managed to mute the offender

[BelfastAndy]

Anyway, I've resigned myself to the drop. Harrison out. Ayling and James out. Headless chickens with minimal likelihood of scoring - even with 11 on pitch.

[WTF11]

I feel sorry for the manager hell get all the blame when he finally played them on their positions and we were back in the game James did that.

Maybe, but he knew what he was signing up to.

Meslier has been having to pick the ball out of the nest when we have conceded a cricket score through no fault of his. He isn't perfect, but he has kept us in games we would otherwise have lost, and he's had a sh1t defence to work with, through no fault of his. When we get relegated, he is gone, and I can't blame him if that's what happens.

In their positions?

Struijk is at left back
Raphinha at wing back
Dan James is basically in the middle
Harrison is also basically in the middle

This guy is a moron, the only area we are strong (outwide) is where he chooses to ignore.

Final straw with this fraud was seeing Raphinha taking a ****ing long throw, lets just go down, try get Corberan and at least we might see some of the old Bielsa stuff back.

We might have got stuffed every now and then but **** at least we still looked good with the ball most of the time, this is now 3 games in a row where they look clueless. Meslier gets it, doesn't do anything, waits, rolls it to a centre back, they get pressed, pass it to other centre back, to full back, back to centre back, to other centre back, then either to Meslier or a full back who hit it long and give them it back. Or give it to Harrison to give away.

WTF commits foul hold the ball then throws it away why isn't that a booking?

He wrapped his arm round the ref and promised a "good time" later!

[UbiqueLUFC33]

You couldn't make it up!

Harrison has given the ball away more times in the last few games than the entire Man City team have all season.

Bate looks like a rabbit in the headlights. Koch is just proving that there's another position he cannot play in.

The reference to Meslier is fair, to a point. That "play out from the back" sh1te has been drilled into him and the rest by our great saviour and the messiah of the PL, BIELSA. It's like Meslier was told, "If you kick that ball past the 18-yard line, I'll recall the clown", his actions when presented with the ball show he was never given the option of "going long" no matter what, and it persists now.

So sad, frustrating and makes you want to weep to think how we were last season to what we've become, we've gone back to the warnock days. We could banging around the championship for another 16 years or worse.

He started Harrison and James on the wings with rod CS Raph was playing further back than usual. Who did you want him to play right and left-back? What is he supposed to do mind read what our players do? Last week meslier and ayling now James. Blame the idiot players for once. He worked out fripo is crap kept him out I don't know what more he can do.
