    BA is rather lively and causing havoc

    some porous defending there...sigh, 1-0 to Chelsea in the 24th minute

    I’ve been watching in the corner of my eye. Has BA touched the ball more than once? No indictment on him, Leeds as a whole look like boys vs Men so far, 27 min in.

    9 touches.
    5/5 passing
     
    RecLeague Super Sub repped this.

    yeah, two pretty good runs...first one went out for an early corner, second run resulted in a yellow card for the defender.

    not such a great choice there, BA turnover nearly led to a Chelsea chance and probably should have played it off the Chelsea defender for a throw in.

    halftime down only 1-0 and it could have been worse with only 35% possession

    The Leeds midfield was all over the place, holes everywhere. CFC could easily have notched 3 goals. BA doing his best, but he and his teammates are chasing shadows.
    Farke will need to adjust tactics

    yeah, but you can't score if you never actually have the ball

    eh? I think you and I are saying the same thing. Leeds can't get the ball, and they are leaving gaps all over the pitch for Chelsea to exploit.

    Bodo/Glimt beat Man City 3-1 with 34% overall possession. It's what you do with possession that counts.

    Leeds defending has not been great and I will grant you that, but the pitch is slanted and Leeds are attacking uphill, that is my major concern and I am not sure what change of tactics can be employed.

    Dumb play gives Chelsea a PK and now 2-0.

    and dumb play and PK the other way, and now we are back in the match 2-1 down.

    Clown show all around in the Chelsea box ends up in a Leeds goal. Chaotic defending to let one Leeds player basically beat 3 Chelsea players plus the keeper. I can't really explain it...Super strange. 2-2 if it holds. Accidental small handball in the leadup. We'll see.

    While I am not exactly how "accidental" that handling was, I will take it and we are tied 2-2

    Leeds desperately holding on. About 4 minutes left.

    Aaronson still pressing like a madman. Incredible.

    now into added time and Chelsea miss a golden chance on that header off the mark.
