Leeds United v Chelsea Match Thread

I knew we'd win this. I also think we'll give Liverpool a game at the weekend. Might even predict a win there!

Only managed to grab 20 minutes of the second half as I had a Chiropractor appt down-town Ottawa (25 min drive there/back). Liked what I saw...

Can't buy K&M anymore... had that a lot as a kid

[Finnatic]

Very pleased with the performance and changes

But I'm not having this is some indication DF is some genius manager.

He should have done this months ago, but he couldn't drop his ego.

When his job is literally on the line he finally did it.

Yes but the Arsenal game aside, the first five games we looked reasonably good playing his usual system and that wasn’t months ago.

If Farke was sacked tonight how much would that set the squad back mentally??

[WhiteRose]

Noticeable how much more comfortable players like Bijol, Perri and DCL who've struggled looked.

New signings.

Happy for them

Thought Bijol was great tonight, but is it a surprise, plays back 3 for Slovenia and for Udinese previously. I’m sure he must have been signed with back 3 in mind.

Was clear there was a mismatch between recruitment and Farke's system. Farke has caught up and they look decent.

Don't want him to be rigid on thid system now though, he needs to be flexible, play the oposition in front of you.

In parts yes

But our 2nd half vs Man City largely and this is the best we've performed imo.

Isn't a coincidence.

Pleased we won for us as fans and club.

Credit Farke for making the changes eventually, but it's not a coincidence it worked imo nor a coincidence he only did it when he was closer than ever to the door.

Petition to only play in white for the rest of the season

Bijol looked a different player tonight.

Liverpool on four channels? All they did was draw ffs

If it was Gary O'Neil a lot possibly

If it was a more marquee type manager probably not at all

We can definitely get at Liverpool

[JoeDenver]

Had to hop off for a work call the last 10 minutes. Relieved we were able to hold on! YES!

Not much, I suspect most are pissed off at his poor tactics for the rest of the season.

BBC football page only posted about Liverpol all night!!!

They’re clearly running through walls for Farke, I think it’d upset the applecart.

Certainly the players look to be playing for him. No signs that they don't like him.

They’re playing for him whether you like it or not.

Bit of balance required.
