This was so depressing.. and I was so confident and fired up for this game.

This your first time with Chelsea 😂😂😂

Anyone who knows us recently under this clown knows we would lose this game.

I switched off the TV at half time and did some laundry and mob my kitchen floor. That was far more interesting and productive.

He massively got the team wrong.. players like Tosin get managers sacked.. our players are overrated .. delap Tosin gittens hato are all championship level.. Enzo Jao Pedro Gusto Sanchez chalobah are mid table.. what do you expect..

AGAIN, he will never learn he is taking the piss out of the fans, thinks he can change the team every game and get away with it, once again he has been found out, lose our next 3 in the league, lose to Atlanta and Cardiff and hes toast

I fed up of hearing excuses for many of these players. They’re not very good. We’ve got a championship level defence and absolutely useless strikers. It’s a f**king joke making out like you can win things with Badiashile, Tosin, Disasi, even Chalobah at the back in front of Sanchez and with Delap or Guiui up front. And as for that ex Leicester coach trying to organise them.

All of those players are weak as a sheet of paper in a hurricane, the slightest touch and down they go, hoping for a free-kick.

God awful manager who never ever learns from mistakes.

Atrocious players, barring a few bright sparks who won't stick around for long with the weight of carrying this team on their shoulders (Caicedo, Palmer, Estevao).

No surprise at all that Sanchez has looked good with a confident defence in front of him, so of course this bald twat throws the usual Tosin + (whoever) pairing, plus CHalobah out of position, and suddenly Sanchez is all over the place.

We were 2nd for a few days and it seems it went to everyone's heads. We're more likely to finish 10th than 2nd.

I'm just so tired of the same sh*t all the time. Everyone knew this was a defeat and could have described the whole 90 minutes for you, the moment the teams were announced.

Every time we take a small step forward in our progression as a team, we immediately make 12 sideways passes between Tosin and Badiashile, and then go backwards to where we started.

Any team with Tosin in it .. ofc.. can’t head can’t tackle can’t mark can’t pass .. it has been clear as obv since the start of the season.. yet he still plays.

Another false dawn for the club.

It’s just a rollercoaster of emotions following this team. The lack of consistency is killing us.

Feels even worse we dished up a rubbish performance against Leeds.

Centre back’s running load is the lowest in team. Why he has to rotate so often is a mystery, it’s not necessary. Most aren’t good enough and we don’t get consistency.

Mercy mercy me, you've got to get your transfer news from somewhere else. If you hear it from some trouble man you'll never know what's going on.

Really winds me up how we completely annihilated Barcelona and outplayed Arsenal with 10 men, and then lose to Leeds. It’s unacceptable.

We just can’t lose to teams like Leeds. Especially not if we want to keep up with the teams at top of the table.

That was a bad mistake by Tosin but really, Maresca set the team up wrong from the start.

We got bullied .. we needed some calm professionals - we don’t have any.. Tosin has no quality and everyone else is 15.. teams like Leeds Newcastle Villa will bully us and win.. we are the arsenal of 2010s

We should beat Atalanta. He seems to be more interested in Europe. Cardiff on the other hand........

I said he could be gone by Christmas, lose our next 3 and it could happen

Nah, it won't. There will always be games where the opposition come after us. Regardless of the bo**ocks philosophy that this clown thinks he is a master at, we cannot control and win matches consistently against well structured defensive sides. The only time we ever look good is when we are not playing to his tactics, when we play transitional football against pressing teams and there will always be a game like this on the horizon.

My expectation of the next encouraging performance from us? Villa at home on 27th. They'll have no fear and will come after us.

Lose this and I will be very angry.

COME ON!!! Aaaggghhh!!

If you’re wondering, yes I’m furious

Enough is enough. The inconsistency is killing our season. For those of us of a certain age tonight meant a lot. Losing to this bunch of bin lickers is never acceptable, and i am also furious, never spent so much time shouting at my TV as I have tonight.

We will never challenge while we have these players in our squad

Badiashile - looks like a lost bouncer on a football pitch.

Tosin - Wasn't he free from Fulham? We were robbed..

Gusto - Must have incriminating photo's of Boehly.

Sanchez - Great teams have great keepers - he is bang average and awful with his feet.

Controversially, also Trev Chalobah - he is good but not World Class, and thats just not going to ever cut the mustard.

Also need to really consider Maresca's position. I have no idea why one week we play exciting attacking football and the next dire possession based sh*te that we simply cannot do with the aforementioned dunces at the back.

Reece James has to play unless he's dead. Simply the only bloke that knows how to help his team mates on the pitch.

Rant over.

Same. And tomorrow when I've calmed down a bit and taken stock of the fact that I have been a bit potty mouthed about him tonight, I won't really care cos I'll still despise the bellend and his fcking toxic tactical strategy.

We were so badly prepared for this game. You don't get to stroll around at Elland Road they're always going to be in your face

Right from the kick off you could see the team were off the pace and weren't taking Leeds seriously enough. If you have proper leaders on the pitch who recognise what is happening you can change that and face up to the challenge. Of course the real preparation is meant to happen in the changing room and at Cobham but it doesn't seem to be happening.

We weren't creating enough in the first half and Garnacho should have started. Maresca should have recognised this and changed tactics after 10mins. He got it wrong tonight. We could have done with James on the pitch but I understand why his minutes are being managed. We missed Caicedo terribly and I don't think Santos is a midfield terrier.

It's easy to critisize but we have to recognise the squad is young and needs to develop. We also have fragile players in James, Lavia and Fofana. We also have a disciplinary problem and frequently miss quality players. All of these issues are impacting our ability to challenge. If we had Lavia and Fofana readily available tonight it would have been different.

We're not ready to challenge yet.

Palmer coming on actually made us worse. The game completely passed him by and he was not involved at all. Missed a glorious chance. Defo not ready yet.

Shocking result.

I was about to post something similar,

After seeing Spuds performance against Arsenal and saying Frank has let the supporters down with a showing that lack luster against their most hated rival I get to witness Maresca handing the points to Leeds...do these manager even think about the historic rivalry in these games let alone the importance of backing up a good performance with at least a steady one?

And they called Ranieri the tinkerman🫣

They don't care. All these "systems" managers don't care because the only thing that matters to them is their self-described genius.

These managers are not the spawn of Pep Guardiola, they're the spiritual successors to Rafael Benitez.

The start reminded me exactly of how we started against United, the only difference was that we didn't get a red card.

JUST HEARD COCO THE CLOWN BEING INTERVIEWED

SAME OLD BOLLOX

TRYING TO SAY WE HAVE TO ROTATE TO PROTECT THE PLAYERS FROM BURNOUT...

DEAN SAUNDERS CALLED HIM OUT AND SAID YOU CANT KEEP CHANGING THE DEFENCE AND WHY CANT SOME PLAYERS PLAY BACK TO BACK 90 MINUTES?

Tosin should never play for us again

You must be really thick when Dean Saunders is showing more intelligence than you!

The owners I feel and Maresca couldn't give a Tosin about our 55 year feud with DIRTY Leeds

Since that fateful day when the UK govt sanctioned RA and Clearfake bought CFC its been a roller-coaster ride

Its easy to slag them and Maresca off on days like this, and today that is entirely justified one feels. But if you look back at these 3 + 1/4 seasons under their stewardship the team performances have I feel overall improved since Boehly bought all those turkeys in season 1. Yes, like today the team can still stink the stadium out; but have to give some credit begrudgingly to Clearfake & their championship manager - have a handful of world class talent to field, did win 2 cups last season.

The flip side to that faint praise is with decent owners who knew the football business and a top class coach and had signed Palmer, Stevo, Moises, Enzo, Neto & spent the rest of the dosh somewhat wisely we'd be going toe to toe with the gooners by now.

Alas I feel that will never occur and this team in time may become a good cup team, that has getting in top 4 its primary goal - a bit like Wenger at the end at Arse. We took the piss royally back then, how times have changed !
