Our play breaking down a lot before the equaliser, RLC not having a good day too.

James 'wins' a penalty.

Alonso 'wins' the ball to create an assist for Mount.

Leeds defending very robustly in the first and ref not interested. Also they worked very hard.

Let's hope we get our game working properly and probably Lukaku to come on.

We always need a goal before kicking into gear. We look limp if we don't score but soon as we do we suddenly have a burst of momentum. 

Not ruthless enough and not hungry enough

Need to beat this Leeds team, I'm hopeful for a much better second half. Our passing for large parts of the first half was sloppy and slow. We managed to pass to a teammate, but there was never any momentum in the passes, either landing behind the player or to little power on the passes. It dosen't help that RLC, Alonso and Rudiger hold onto the ball way to long, while the passes bounce off Werner and Havertz to the oposition.

We better win this

Callum. Was our best attacker (unless you count Reece as one) during our best performances for some time, one so so game against United and he hasn't started in the league since.

Fair enough. Who would you have played him in front of? Werner?

City had a player sent off for two yellows in 50 seconds in first half injury time and get a penalty when the ball hits the underside..

Loftus-Cheek is holding on to it for too long again, and when he does play it forward, it's either the wrong decision or he over hits it. 

He beats his man and then waits for Leeds to recover so he can beat them all over again. He needs to make things happen quicker. When he has beaten his man and advances forward, he needs to find the pass.

We're Chelsea, only way people get sent off against us is if they either injure our player or just shy of doing so. 

It's set up nicely for Lukaku right at this moment, we brought him in to win these games where we struggle to work the keeper.

Now is the time Romelu.

uf only Kante was fit to cover for Alonso. he made up for his pen brainfart

There’s 2 kinds of posters on here when the going gets tough, like that half we’ve just witnessed. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

I'm hoping for a fast change with Werner, he is almost useless against aggressive low blocks.

Sometimes not even that works.. remember the matic red card years ago ?

I also don't know why he keeps doing this. I hated Hazard for doing this back then but at least Hazard could beat 3 guys and score or lay the simple pass. 

The least RLC could have done was pass move it quicker

Move Mount left, Havertz right and Werner central

We really need someone to replace RLC. He doesn't have any kind of end product. 

Alonso has the odd good spell, but ultimately he has too many weaknesses to be playing for a team expecting to challenge for trophies. Of course, I will take that back if he puts the ball in the top corner to score the winner.

The problem today, for me, is that several of our attacking players, haven’t really showed up. We have enough attacking talent on the bench, so the onus is on Tuchel to make the right changes.

Please don’t end with third 1-1 home draw
