What's new

Leeds v Chelsea (PL) Wed 11th May 2022 19:30 GMT

I don't know what it is about Dave at RCB and Timo up top that TT has seen of late that makes him Starr over and over again.

Maybe he believe Dave is thr best one to deal with liverpools left side and that Werner will get at their high line and he is treating every opponent at FA Cup prep.

Anyways for what it is worth I think he is wrong in this matter, and that they will both be exposed in the cup final.

As for this game I would like to see,

Mendy

Chalobah 

Silva

Rudiger

James

Jorginho 

Kovacic

Alonso

Ziyech

Mount

Lukaku

 
Leeds are not Wolves yet they should be fresh as it will be over a week since they lost 4-0 to City.

Wolves have dangerous midfielders and front men, Leeds don't have that quality.

The new manager bounce has gone.

They will be physical and the crowd will try and influence the ref.

I would play Lukaku with Pulisic and Mount. Pulisic provided the assist for Lukaku and his earlier turn and shot though off target was a great attempt to get us on the front foot.  

 I would bring back Kante with Kovacic. Perhaps RLC for Kante on 70 mins.

James at RB and Chalobah at RCB (rest Azpi)

Others the same.

 
Wow, Leeds will REALLY need something against us now. Arsenal on top form, so this was always gonna happen.

 Consequently, when they beat us, it’s not as damaging

Your plan is not working… at least the first part.

Well TT or the coaching staff need to know now to make preparations for Leeds so we don't get a repeat of Everton's fans lighting fireworks over night and to prepare themselves for bottles being thrown at the coach when it is on it's way to Elland Road.

 
Looking at the way it is going today, Leeds will be desperate for a win against us. So I fully expect an atmosphere like Everton had at Goodison. Our players will need to be up for this one. Looking at the fixtures for our rivals there is a good chance we need at least 6 points from our last 3 games to make 3rd, and 4 points to make top 4. So we could really do with winning this one to take some pressure off.

 
Leeds lost today.

If we lose/draw to Leeds though, we have to hope Arsenal and Spuds drop points for the reminder of the season otherwise I’m putting it out there - kiss goodbye top 4.

Correct me if I am wrong but a win here and Arsenal beating Spurs guarantees us both Top 4, right?

But if we win does that guarantee Top 4 if Spurs don't beat Arsenal?

Arsenal have to beat Spuds to make it mathematically impossible.

But if they tie, it will be very difficult for Spuds to overtake us. Basically we have to lose every PL game after Leeds.

 
Azpi needs to come out the team. Play Chalobah. His minutes have been so limited, that he played for the development team tonight. This is a must win game for Leeds and they will raise their A game. They were unlucky not to get something at the end today, especially with 10. I reckon we will get top 4, but I really do know want to finish below Arsenal. I will hate to drop points this game and be in predicament of needing Arsenal to win so that top 4 is more secure and not worry about Spurs catching us, however at same time losing 3rd spot to Arsenal. 

 
For me Chalobah had a problem with wide forwards who could turn very quickly, think one of them was Salah.

Leeds don't have that quality which is why I would play him.
