    Leeds are going to be in a relegation battle if they keep playing like this.
    But Marcelo Biesla!

    To be fair to Leeds, they are at least ensuring  a few goals on MOTD tonight

    MOD should be cancelled and replaced with the 5,000th (at least) screening of 'White Christmas'

    I saw Man C batter Leeds 7-0 midweek.
    Leeds were fortunate to only concede 7 and I thought they are in massive danger of relegation.

    Tonight Arsenal managed 3 shots on target in the first 3 minutes.
    Bielsa will be taking them down with Norwich, unless he changes tactics.
    It's 0-3 at HT now.

    Typical for Leeds, getting the only team without a Covid outbreak

    Robin Koch being a bit of a dickhead feels like great nominative determinism

    Leeds will be ok once they get most of their players back from injury. They were missing 10 players last night.

    Interestingly the stat they showed regarding Kalvin Phillips was pretty telling. 11 defeats in 41 premier league games with him. 11 defeats in 14 without him.

    I see that Tuchel has gone down the protest route in only naming six substitutes because of seven players being through Covid. Whatever one thinks of Bielsa, he didn't complain about having to name a bunch of teenagers because Leeds had 10 players out injured. He saw it as an opportunity to give those (including a 15 year old) the chance to sample what it's like to be part of the first team squad. You can't tell me that Chelsea do not have a single under 23 that could have done that too.

    Awesome start from Newcastle, playing one of the best teams in the country and its great to see your defence not gifting them goals 😬😬

    Apologies if posted elsewhere on this or another thread -

    https://www.si.com/soccer/liverpool/news/premier-league-has-most-unvaccinated-players-in-europes-top-leagues

    'According to ITV, the numbers don't lie. They have found that the Premier League players, as a whole, are the most unvaccinated in Europe's elite leagues. Only 68% of the league's players have been double vaccinated, with only 81% of them only having at least one jab.

    Serie A is the best for most vaccinated players in it, with 98% of them being double vaccinated. They are followed by Ligue 1 (95%), Bundesliga (94%) and La Liga (90%).' 

    Not aware of many, if any, games postponed in these leagues

    Not to mention that of the 6 subs, 2 are goalkeepers! Pretty pathetic when your club is one of the richest in the world with one of the biggest squads. 

    Laughable that their lineup still has 10 internationals, with 4 more on the bench......and they wanted it postponed.

    There is also another, perhaps unintended consequence ,of Tuchel's actions. Chelsea have been dropping points recently anyway but in adopting this stance he is actually re-affirming to his own players and the opposition that he believes they are massively disadvantaged.

    I always recall a similar thing happening (though with more of a smile) when Trevor Francis was manager at Birmingham and the play off game went to a penalty shoot out. Francis had agreed before the game that any such event would take place at one end but the Ref changed his mind and ordered it be at the home end. So Francis took all his players off and refused to return for more than ten minutes. Birmingham were beaten before they took a penalty and ended up missing three of them.

    Liverpool and Citteehhheee still being awarded very dubious penalties and their opponents still being denied clear cut ones .. who said that VAR would clear up dodgy and obvious refereeing mistakes ? 
    @ForeverAddickted .. another example .. absolute disgrace

    50th goal in all completions for Man City for Riyad Mahrez after 165 appearances. A really great career for a brilliant player.

    Kane lucky there, could easily have been a red card.

    Crazy how there are so few goals in this game.

    Shame they had to wait for Liverpool to score first
