Yes, just hasn't been happening quite well. Perhaps still not completely familiar with the new formation.

A back three look good. Bijol in the middle looks solid, also some nice progressive moves from him.

Play to the strengths of the squad and put your ego aside weirdly makes a team better.

Just don't go ultra cautious 2nd half.

Back 3 solid

Stach and Gudmundsson immense

Well we've won the first half..... Great strike from Tanaka and excellent awareness from Nmecha to steal that ball/Bogle with that deft pass for the 2nd.

Bijol has been really good.... Second balls centrally.

Wish we had a couple of really good sub's to bring on second half and hope we don't try to defend deep second half.... Need a 0-0 mentality to get something from this IMO.

I expect Cole Palmer will be on very soon for them.
Great first half, we looked comfortable for the most part.
Now can we get the job done?

Think the goal has helped and Chelsea still only playing one up but yes, he seems to be comfortable in this set up.

Agreed that Stach and Guds have been brilliant, especially Guds. But everyone has put in a lot of hard work. Second goal came at a great time.

Whatever happens second half, that attitude makes us proud to be Leeds.

Go on lads.

Some were saying several matches ago that to get the best out of Bijol he needs to play with two other CBs alongside him.

It's a matter of working with formations which maximise player's strengths.

Classic 3rd goal game.
Points for those that said Stach is better without Longstaff. He is.

I said last night watching Fulham score some corkers by just whacking it that I wish our players would just lash it....brilliant from Tanaka.
Loving the goalie long kicks as well, Chelsea aren't used to that. I just hope we can hold on.
