Draw is probably fair result there

Yea, expensive attacking players have been nowhere near good enough.

 

[AB13]

Chelsea couldn't score a single goal against Bamford-less Leeds. Under Tuchel, Chelsea haven't scored over 2 goals. Under 2 goals scored in 6 of 10 of his league games. Scoring none in 3 of these.

He's improved our defensive play for sure, but he's done nothing to get the attacking players going.

I have Villa/ManU/WestHam getting 1 point and Spurs/Liverpool/Leicester/Chelsea/Everton getting all 3.

I'm going to get every result wrong.

100% handball. Offside will be the question.

Yea,I can't understand what Furlong keeps arguing about, the bad traveled a good way to hit his outstretched arm

Both teams has good chances. Chelsea obviously better so they could turn the screw a bit more but Leeds was certainly in that game

Leeds-Chelsea was very even aside from the possession stat. Chelsea didn't really create much with the ball and Bamford scores that header instead of Rodrigo heading it at Mendy.

Almost all of Leeds chances came early in the game, they didn't threaten that much after that. Chelsea had the same problem they have had the entire time under Tuchel, their possession and shots do not amount to good enough chances or goals.

It is because of his positional play ideology. Most managers who emphasize strict positional play are obsessed with possession for the sake of risk aversion, just keep the ball so you don’t get countered. Arteta is the same way. It usually does not make games that entertaining. I think Lampard was a better attacking manager than what Tuchel has shown so far.

Told ya all about that Tuchel guy..

I feel like "I told you so's" aren't in order in situations where people didn't disagree with you

Haha, it's more that I exactly described the problem Chelsea would have.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Man, it's very difficult not to love Carlo Ancelotti - I still haven't quite gotten used to the fact that he's Everton manager

Thank you Burnley.

 

[Peen]
