Leeds Utd 0-3 Chelsea Match Thread - Post Match Debate.

[Jaydog]

He had a couple of minor faults because his hands were tied, but the many positives far outweigh them.

Minor faults. Were?
Who could argue with the positives. Not me. He’s forgotten more than I’ll ever know about the game but I wish to Christ he’d tried something slightly different. Stayed till the end, kept us up and then you & him could of set up home together.
I’d need to know more from behind the scenes before slating him anyway. And I’ll never know that unfortunately. Was there a player revolt. Looks likely. And now they’re revolting again. Pun intended.

I never really understood the litter picking.

Now i want you to imagine some players as thoroughbreds and some as carthorses, how many do you think we have of each ?

Include Stallions and Fillies if you like.

Don't forget you can get many a good hour out of a carthorse.

Tried something different !...Just go look at the Chelsea team and formation when beaten 3-2 away, part of his downfall was that he HAD to try something different, and boy did he try, i can only imagine being the studying opponents guy he was, the sleepless nights he must've had.

Was litter picking his idea? Did he also pick it up? Teaching them to be humble I suppose. I quite like it. Saw a women out the other day with her 2 young kids picking up litter. Put a smile on my face tbh.
We don’t have any thoroughbreds, maybe Raph & KP but I’d be putting blinkers on them. Perhaps JG is the young colt who struts round like Stradivarius with his knob hanging out. Cresswell is a bull not a horse.
Other than that carthorses of varying degrees, some usable and others knackered. Harrison is a fillie who gets chased around the showers I imagine

[Kennyb41]

Oh Jeez what i'd pay now for the current thoughts of :

1. The Clown.
2. Radz.
3. The players that wanted Bert out.
4. Bert.

[Jaydog]

V Chelsea line up/formation according to BBC
Mes
Dallas Ayling Llorente Firpo
Shacks Forshaw Roberts
Harrison
Raph James
Subs: Klich JG Cresswell
Chelsea were 3rd and 2 points behind Citeh at the time. I believe easily our best performance of the season. Totally robbed

[Jaydog]

XG on last nights game had us barely losing 1-0 (0.6 x 1.18) just shows the Chelsea goals were fashioned more by our awful play than the dangerous play from them.
Our best game in the last 3 was Citeh where Infogol expected 1-3. Make of it what you will. Sometimes it’s spot on and sometimes it needs some explaining/understanding

[BlackHillsPaul]

Yeah i agree, i like to think of the stick an English coach would come in for managing one of their NFL teams

In the NFL they hold the title of Head Coach ya Numpty....

[BlackHillsPaul]

Fully agree Paul.
Direct critisism of Marsch is fine, but racist slurs against Americans will be deleted in the future.
I appologise for not noticing it earlier.

Thank you Hector. I'm not about getting posts deleted and all that. And I'm happy to give and take with regard to banter. There are a lot of good people and fun personalities on this board. I've said what I have to say on the subject. You've acknowledged it. Hopefully it has encouraged some people to think a little bit. Cheers to all!!

Is your penalty spot the same yardage out as ours ? And why don't you use corner flags ?
I do like the idea of 157 referees though and your VAR works a treat.

Are you ok with Yank ? I'll drop it if not, i don't even know if it's offensive or not, i've just heard it in movies for the best part ?

Big Jesse ?

I'm quite fond of Numpty, words like cretin, moron don't bother me a tosh, water off a ducks back.
There's only one word i detest and that's the 'N' word when referring to Blacks. Although i do find it quite ok when they use it on each other for some reason like you see in the movies, the hatred part of it seems to disappear.

[Kennyb41]

Who's considered the best goalie currently in NFL ? We have a couple of fast wingbacks some of your Coaches might be interested in.
You have to be good at throwin though dontcha ? I think Costa takes a good throw in.

Depends on the context Kenneth. The word Yank is not offensive to me in and of itself. It's widely used in your country and others to refer to Americans. YOU tend to use it as a pejorative. So just to be safe try substituting the word "w**ker" instead. That's what they do on the Ted Lasso show....We Americans think it's funny.

Oh, and "Big Jesse" is fine...

[Kennyb41]

H'mmm, i think best i drop it Paul, ya yank.

Sorry, i couldn't resist that, hope ya took it in the good taste it was intended

You can call me a w**ker anytime you like pal, it's good to have ya here from all that way across the pond.

I don’t understand it either tbh Kenny. Sometimes it truly represents what you’ve seen, others not so much. I think basically we stood out the way and said “after you Claude” and that doesn’t get a high XG. Wish some bugger would stand out the way for us although we’d probably miss.
“Here Rodrigo, yes you, kick it in the bag. The net Rodders, oh he’s missed. Knobhead”.

[Jaydog]

Breaking news. I just saw my mate the skip man. He delivers skips funnily enough. Massive Chelsea fan with a great big flag in his cab. I said that’s effing unkind of you to trash us last night. He said even that useless Lukaku scored.
But then he said you are definitely staying up. Hoorah for skip man, he is never ever wrong. Mind you he did deliver a skip to the wrong house for me once. Oh well.
