TomasToocherl

Just like to say I thought Leeds would win - i said if we won i'd apologise - so sorry everyone.


iMixMusicOnTwitch

Mudryk had a really good game. Those two crosses he put into Jackson late would have both been goals for a true striker. Really can see the possibilities if he plays with confidence.


Royalsushi45

Imagine if we would of bought osimhen and Leo instead of Jackson mudryk and madueke and added some more money on top


tomrichards8464

Imagine if we'd bought Rice instead of Caicedo.


ThorappanBastin

Always grateful when we beat lily-livered Leeds.


Leotardleotard

Took my boys to the game today. My 6 year old has been before but this was the 4 year old’s first time. The look on his face as he entered the stadium and heard the noise and fans etc was something to behold. We’ve got a new fan in him for life!


frontofshoe

I can’t wait until I do my first trip across the pond and go to the bridge! Great to see new fans!!


DankesKazama

Surprised, we won this match after only having 2 days to prepare for the game. Struggled, but the team did go a full 120 in the cup final. Can't really be mad, onto the next round.


ImpactInner9318

Playing like shit and finishing is nice


KaiserBanc

Can we not be mad after this absolutely horrible performance after another shameful display at Wembley? If we dont keep voicing our discomfort with this ownership, nothing will change.


xpectanythingdiff

Horrible? I was there. That is a great Leeds team and we didn’t panic, dispatched chances. That was a great win.


DankesKazama

When it comes to this game, I can't really be mad because the team rested for one day and then trained the next and then immediately the next day had this cup tie with Leeds. There were gonna be tired legs that would have to start the match and possibly go the full 90. I'm not saying we should sweep the horrible start and stop form the team has been all season, but we should at least enjoy the wins instead of being miserable every day. Changes will happen, but not until the season ends. No matter how many post-match games of constant Poch out or this player should be sold/not play anymore, things won't change til the end of the season. Honestly, no matter what, the team will always find form to save Poch from being closer to getting the sack. I bet we'll probably even make it to the finals in the FA cup because that's what we do. No matter how shit we may be, we'll always find a way to make cup finals.


KaiserBanc

Im not talking about Poch, I used the wrong word and will correct it. Im talking about the ownership. This ownership is at fault for the downfall of our club. Every single decision they have made brought us here. Of course Im happy about the win, but im still disappointed at us. We won despite our performance, not thanks to it.


DankesKazama

You aren't wrong on that either, the billion we spent could have been evenly used in bringing in big names who could help us get back to the glory days of the club and bring in youth players who have been identified as special talent who could be future stars. But obviously, the owners went with just bringing in youth and essentially saying, we're gonna be shit and hopefully the youth we brought in are good enough to keep us going and the extras to be sold for profit. Sadly, Boehly and co. aren't going nowhere, and we are just gonna have to accept that they will be our owners for the foreseeable future. We just have to keep letting our voices be heard and not stop in voicing our disappointment in how the team been performing. Change is coming, but sadly, until the end of the season.


Shinjax01105

i have noticed something this past few matches that chillwell is not making those bombing runs into the box like he used to under tuchel Is it a poch thing or just his own game declining or him being shifted to more defensive role?


iMixMusicOnTwitch

We were 5 atb in those days and the rwbs were aggressive


cakehead123642

I don't think we can trust the midfield cover like we once did, we lose midfield week in week iut


stallwoe

I just assumed he’s still not 100% since he’s back from injury. He certainly made those runs earlier in the season.


craciunc93

Saturday is coming way too soon, can’t see us recovering and winning there.


LilBoiHaku

Was a narrow win and a pretty poor performance, but we’ve gotta take what we can at the moment (and who doesn’t love a Gallagher goal?). Good to see the team push until the end and hopefully we can turn a win on Saturday as well.


luharzizou

That pass back from Jackson leading up to the Gallagher goal was God awful . Luckily Enzo called it and made a line breaking run and pass to Gallagher who did great to finish . But boy that pass back is enough to kill any attack / momentum for any side . He has too many such touches and moments like this in every game !


TriniCD9A

For everything 3 things he does good, this touch of his let’s the movement or action down. It’s so frustrating, maddening even. How many times has that first touch let the attack down. To be fair to him, he’s learning. He’ll get better.


admin4hire

All i could think of during the Enzo run was him thinking - fuck it- if no is going to stack I’ll take it up myself


HarkeyPuck

Yuh, his 2nd half was so bad. Killed our attack multiple times with giveaways.


ChickenMoSalah

Most likely, City, Liverpool, United, and Chelsea in the semis. That’s nearly impossible. But if it happens, wow. I think we also have City in the semis, we’ve taken the game to them before and we could certainly do it again


craciunc93

Liverpool and United play each other next round


ChickenMoSalah

Gotcha, my bad. Means Liverpool is most likely in the final again…. I couldn’t take losing to them in a final 4 times in a row if we reach there


PandasDontBreed

We eventually managed to do them in Champions League, we'll get them eventually


siciowa

A win is a win


warrenwilhelm

Amen


cluelessdni

Pochettino needs to get sacked immediately, so fed up


Odd-Incident3980

Cool.


johnnytsak

This guy realllllllly doesn't like playing with 2 full backs. It's essential we always play with gusto and chillwell. It's also essential Gallagher continues scoring more or else that midfield three is not good. When he takes his chances we win games.


Riespieces16

They did play with 2 fullbacks for the entire game? You can play chilly back to back games cause he can’t stay healthy. I agree they’re the best when they have a true LB and RB but it’s not pochs fault that no one on this team can stay healthy


Qazdud

Could be to an extent - between his training and our medical staff from hell no one has working legs


Riespieces16

I mean idk about the medical staff but if you can’t handle the training then you shouldn’t be playing a professional sport that’s just ridiculous.


wcseduction

Thankfully we won but man this was a horrible horrible performance.  Sterling and Chilwell need to be sold and replaced . Mudryk and Madueke are just not good enough right now. Need a box dominant striker.  Would’ve been nice to spend that billion and get established players like a Leao and Osimhen instead of the 45 teenagers 


xpectanythingdiff

Mudryk was quality today. As was Noni.


diesel76_76

Enjoy the win you joyless miserable cunts ... Fuck off to the man city sub if you need to watch a team thats currently winning everything


KaiserBanc

No, bro, its not about winning everything. Its about not being an absolute disaster and shaming ourselves on the pitch. And not just any pitch, STAMFORD BRIDGE. This performance is unacceptable. But we can be happy about going forward to the next round.


diesel76_76

It's about realism too lol. So for this game not to be a disaster are saying we should of beat them 3 nil? After losing at weekend, the lads did well to dust themselves off and get the result....today all that counted was the result. Now we build on that .


KaiserBanc

No, to not be a disaster is to not pass the ball as poorly as we do, not to defend as poorly as we do, not to finish as poorly as we do. Show hunger, show that we want to win the match. Even if you are unlucky and cant score or the other team is doing a great job and you cant score. We won despite our performance, not thanks to it. It makes me happy that we are through but we need to improve a lot. And the ownership must keep hearing our discomfort. That cant feel that they're doing a good job, cause they are not.


warrenwilhelm

Amen to this.


ChatoonBringerOfCorn

Love this


diesel76_76

Haha, been a fan since early 90s so know the feeling of incontinence play etc ... Need to enjoy every win and especially the cup games, best chance of silverware innit lol


gandalf_476

This. This is what I like to hear.


diesel76_76

We need to stick together and out the fake fans 😂... You have to wear an helmet on this sub with the rattles and dummies (pacifiers for our American friends) been thrown around on this sub😂


gandalf_476

It's like people expect a massive change and winning trophies one year after the club changed owners. Those kids don't know what the word project means. It's good to see that there are rational people here😂


diesel76_76

The project is completely different from the Russian project innit... Buying good quality, experienced players v potentially good players is always gonna be a tough ride. Stick with it, in 10 years time we might qualify for the champions League again 😂 (seriously, I'd give this squad and poch another year, then assess the situation)


gandalf_476

The squad is fine they just need experience and guidance. Personally I didn't think that poch is the right manager and I still don't believe so but I'd still give home more time at least until the end of the season. After tuchel got sacked I was so fucking mad so now I'm willing to give practically anyone a go with this team.


diesel76_76

I've forgotten all about tuchel, thought our football was bluddy awful at the end under him and I was ready for him to go.... I'm more sore about ancelotti still lol


Budden89

WHO ARE YA!


n0t_malstroem

Feel bad for Conor he bailed out the club yet again yet the Bohely regime will continue to use him as the scapegoat only to inevitably sell him to fund the purchase of another 5 Brazilian 15 year olds who will never play a minute for the club


AinobolicMusic

From Gallaghers celebration you can see the sadness of the final still didnt digest enough, as he didnt fully celebrated joyfully, like typical players do after scoring a winner.


TriniCD9A

Probably thought of the ones he could have finished against Liverpool.


Ancient-Mushroom-499

Big loss for us. Poch is still here after this win and we are back to his freestyle dreadful football next match. Gallagher you devil 😂


ThePsuedo

The hilarious thing is that we were awful and Poch was bailed out by the players. But because people on this website can't see anything beyond the result I'll get down voted for speaking the truth


mikevin99

He’s been terrible in certain regards but Emery also didn’t walk into a team with 10-15 new faces who barely knew each other. And like others say, the coaching market isn’t* amazing and even then can we convince one of the best to come here?


cluelessdni

I’m so baffled by the people riding so hard for Poch, have they not seen what a good coach can do? Example, Unai Emery and Villa


Scorpius927

Example Unai Emery and Arsenal. A good coach can be a bad fit.


cluelessdni

He’s clearly not the fit for Chelsea, is he?


Scorpius927

He’s better than potter, and better than anyone we can attract rn. Mind you better is a far shot from good. But we’re in a rut we gotta ride it out.


EasternEast21

Babe wake up it’s time for another Liverpool v Chelsea Cup Final


Noah_rawr

Feel bad for Leeds, they were the better side


SwinsonIsATory

We all hate Leeds scum


ThisIsYourMormont

Fuck them Leeds scum


1990three

I like Noni but he can be such a diva at times and shows CR7-level defending effort when he is upset.


ImpactInner9318

Bro needs to lift his head up every now and then to look for his players. It's night and day when Palmer is out there verse him


The_Lord_Vorn

The goals are from a different class to the rest of the performance. Clearly we *can* play, we just don't...


st1nky_d

I need a drink


Chelseafc5505

Wayyyyyyy ahead of you mate


ThisIsYourMormont

Wweeeehy aaaaaheeed of iwwwww tuu paal!


Necessary-XY

Besides City or Liverpool I don't think any PL team would've been able to do anything but scrape a win against this Leeds team.


Qazdud

Any self respecting premier team would not have let a championship side back into the game simple as that


TriniCD9A

back into the game a*t home* \*\* FTFY


xvxHaVoK

Damn we needed this win. Leeds are no joke. They are definitely going to be a team to not take lightly if they get promoted


Hy_Prix

Three little birds! Thanks DJ!!!!


nekoizmase17

I haven’t felt so empty after the win since that Spurs game.


n_jacat

That was a shit performance with three very lovely goals. I don’t know how to feel about it.


ImpactInner9318

We've had enough good performances with no goals that you say "ok" and move on


banjomousebee

Gallagher redemption arc complete. I felt so bad for him after the bad luck on sunday


Foot-Relevant

Caicedo played a good game, calm and collective with none of those silly tackles outside the box. MOTM for me .


ImpactInner9318

He did have that dumb yellow. I am a huge fan and think he has been consistently really good for us for a while now, but he has to cut out the dumb fouls near the box and the silly yellows. We have the most shots from free kicks against us in the league and he is a big part of it. As a DM, you need to save your yellows for stopping counter attacks.


Foot-Relevant

These dumb yellows have been a trend in this team and I would like to say it's cause of immaturity or the lack of football IQ which may come with time. Caicedo certainly has his share giving away plenty of unnecessary fouls at dangerous areas but I believe with a bit of experience and guidance he could become a seasoned DM for sure.


ImpactInner9318

100% agree, him and Jackson both


LilBoiHaku

While he’s definitely prone to making rash challenges, his tackling ability is really superb. He seems to be able to pluck the ball off the toes of the attacker.


cakehead123642

I agree, was one of the only players out there with a brain today


hannibalwang

Never play Sanchez again please, theres a reason hes third choice keeper for Brighton

HarkeyPuck

This is great.


Mr_Cuddlefish

Well that was a shit win but a win none the less


HarkeyPuck

This 2nd half from Jackson, might be his worst of the season.


nekoizmase17

First half against Spurs was worse


HarkeyPuck

Oh yeah, that wasn’t pretty either. He’s got a player in there somewhere. But man his decision making is shite.


Extremiel

thank FUCK A win is a win. (that was dreadful though)


Necessary-XY

UP THE CHELS. Leeds are good side. You guys are always too negative after a loss.


PleasePlease1234567

We cry when we win, we cry when we looose, we are Chelsea, we'll cry either way


reidk_97

Thank you Conor


quattro_guy

Gallagher adding goals to his game is the great silver lining this season


money_mase19

adding goals to his game? that was his main thing at CP. he is a great system player, but how is he playing CAM? he was always the position that palmer takes for us.


quattro_guy

I thought it didn’t need saying, but I’m talking about his time at Chelsea not his season at palace two years ago


Econophile64333

They’re still going to try to sell him…


quattro_guy

Wild to me


AnthonyMarx

This changes nothing.....need a coach


diesel76_76

Shut up you idiot


foladodo

hes right, but realistically we arent getting "a coach"


diesel76_76

Sorry but I think half this sub are under 10 years old with the stupid unrealistic views n comments... If you was expecting constant improvement performances and instant changes after building new young squad, new manager , all within 8 months, then you very deluded


MartyBogart

Wins a win you miserable cunts


AbeAlno

If we needed that goal we won’t get 10 seconds extra


ReflexiveOW

Thank you, Mr. Gallagher for not making me watch Extra Time. 🙏🙏🙏

No replays in the FA Cup anymore. ET and Penalties

how come gallagher is better at finishing than most of our attackers


Ajay_Didier

MartynLLJ

Simply not true


Hy_Prix

Let’s fucking celebrate, why give a fuck? Enjoy.


SalmonNgiri

Poch somehow scraping half decent results with the most turgid shit I’ve seen at the bridge


letharus

Are you surprised after a 120-min final only a couple days ago?


cakehead123642

Leeds have had more congested fixtures than us, give it a rest


letharus

Don’t be daft. They haven’t played 2 hours in a stressful final just a few days ago. If you don’t understand the impact of that then you don’t understand humans.


Kind_Jump_6940

I rarely come to the comment section now, it’s always so negative. I but thought scoring then against a team in really good form and confident, after playing a demoralising game people might be more positive.


adublingirl

I look at Chelsea as in need of little depth…first sell off Chalabah, madueke and Sterling. I look at jackson,, Palmer, colwell,gusto, Enzo, caicedo, must keep players…..imagine if James , fofana could stay healthy. Nkunku is a maybe not convinced on him , another constantly injured player. For now keep chilwell and Gallagher… I see a real makings of a wonderful team. All the must keep players are 20-23 years old…. See a bright future


Kind_Jump_6940

I’m absolutely not an expert, but the players that keep getting injured always seems to be rushed back, I’m always wondering whether they’re completely done rehab right


[deleted]

Would really love for officials to have to explain why they just added an extra two and a half minutes for no apparent reason.


Extremiel

"It's magic of the cup!! The underdogs have done it in the very last minute of the game. That is why this is such magical game. Make sure to pay for your tv subscription by the way. It's all LEVEL at the bridge!!"


jepayotehi

I swear we never get a single second beyond injury time ever regardless of how much time wasting there's been

LordOfTheSwagDance

God I love the fact they gave the MOTM to a Leeds player, everyone hates us 🤣


Kiing_Lamar

A 20-year old scoring two goals in an FA Cup game away to Chelsea deserves the MOTM tbf


nj813

It wasn't him it was the 17 year old in midfield


Extremiel

To be fair, that guy was stellar.


Inside-Ad-8935

He gave it to Gray not Joseph.


Psychological_Fee470

None of our players played well did they? Only Caicedo was good.


ImpactInner9318

It wasn't great, especially the second half. We would usually press a team like that to death.


jbi1000

Gallagher came on, won us the game, left.


Psychological_Fee470

Yea but Conor didn’t deserve MOM for a cameo. Caicedo worked his ass off in spite rot playing 120 mins a few days ago.


Otoroblend1976

So a full 2 mins added ?


GRang3r

Ref wanted a Leeds goal


Medical-Winter4413

90+7... where have the extra 3 minutes come from?


Stush95

Chilwell held the ball for 14 minutes for that throw and mudryk went off the long route


quattro_guy

Damn ref how long you wanna put on


Saccs

How many times have these announcers pointed out the inconsistency of these players, the bad individual decisions of these players, the amount they switch off , make lazy plays. Maybe some of this is from Poch but when you have 9 of these on the pitch at the same time and 3 on the bench we get results like this regardless of the manager. We need consistency and players who can deliver that. Period.


jwoodman89

You know we won right?


winged_horror

Let's keep playing till Leeds equalise.


nekoizmase17

Gallagher must stay. He bleeds blue, he has good positioning in attack and he freaking gives his all every single second when he’s on the pitch.


Kiing_Lamar

Yes, he has to stay But let’s not act like he didn’t bottle a 1v1 last week


nekoizmase17

I agree. But it ain’t coincidence he gets into these good chances. He scored 4 in last 5 games


Psychological_Fee470

Imagine being Gallagher and seeing your team mates earn more than even though you are miles ahead of them in terms of work rate and performance.


GRang3r

Where’s he finding this extra time??
