Leeds Utd v Chelsea Match Thread

Burnley won't win either of their next two IMO.

 

Not so sure. If Arsenal win tonight then spurs can’t make top four so might just a hangover from that when they play Burnley.

 

So at the end of the day it is the players fault, they can't seem to do five yard passes or use their own footballing brain to find that space to attack or set up a great threw ball (not that we have got anyone to finish it off) when their on the pitch they need to make their own decisions where to go for that space or best position, not from a note or strict instructions from their coach, but their own footballing brain, at the end of the day their paid christ knows how many thousands p/w to play football to the best of their ability, not to a pre written script.

 

That wasn't the case though three years ago. It's just a case of everyones happy when we are winning and everyones to blame when losing.

 

Maybe we just aren't good enough. It isn't a level playing field. When teams like city can buy a player for 65 million or what ever it is and pay him 400,000 grand a week, we just don't stand a chance.

 

I've no problem with the amount we've spent, you have to cut your cloth accordingly but it's how we've spent it, is the issue.

 

Can't believe how easy Rodrigo as the ball taken off him, and he's knocked off it, as though he's made of paper.

 

I agree 100% Gessa regarding the amount we've spent. I'm just saying if every team in the Premier had the same amount to spend, there might not be such a huge gulf between the top 6 or so teams to the rest and the League might be a bit more competitive. But I know that will never happen.

 

That's one way of looking at it but another is that if Tottenham lose they will have to respond in that game and failure to do so would have huge consequences.

 

He owns the ground, so what. He continues to allow orta to run the club. What more do you want. Lack of investment in last year and failure to strengthen midfield since pablo left has us at this point

 

Yeah got to agree about the midfield. Why did we need so many wingers?. An over 30 striker as back up would have been fine.

 

Plus if Arsenal lose their last game could be a must win.

 

You’re more positive than me

 

An Arsenal win tonight would guarantee Spurs a 5th place finish. Home win preferable tonight!

 

Lack of investment? Sorry I disagree, failure to sign a midfielder? That’s hardly Radz fault blame that on Orta/Bielsa

 

Spuds 2 nil.up at half time

 

Eh who writes the cheques. Not orta or bielsa
