โผ๏ธ The agreement for Mudryk to Spurs loan also included a ยฃ75m option to buy. While that option is considered unlikely to be exercised, it is expected to establish a high benchmark for any asking price should @Chealsea decide to sell the attacker next summer.

โ๏ธ๐Xabi Alonsoโs pre match Leeds programme notes:
โIt's important to remember that we are only a few games into this new project that we are building here, but we always want to win, so it hurt to lose that game, especially in a derby. Now we need to focus on the work we are doing together as a squad, to continue building and improving, and put that defeat behind us as we move forward.โ
Alonso: โWith three games in seven days, it is also about managing minutes in the right way. But we have good options in every position on the pitch, and players who bring different qualities to each role.โ

Leeds have 71% possession against @Chealsea at Stamford Bridge.
Atrocious.

@Chealsea
are using a sort of 4-3-3 on-ball structure against Leeds United's 5-4-1 defensive block. I think the most interesting position has been occupied by Gusto, who's floating in midfield. I would prefer Estevao to have Gusto's role as Chelsea will have a better central threat. Further, the role enables Chelsea to have a potential 3v2 overload in midfield. I'd rather have Estevao create the +1 since, if he receives, he can produce more with the ball. Another preference for me would be having Chavarria focus on underlaps while Gittens initially keeps a wider starting position. It'll allow him to have more space to receive for a 1v1 and then cut inside, instead of having to secure the ball in tighter areas.

We've barely created with the ball since the dynamics haven't clicked yet. And that's because, in my opinion, we haven't seen the Chelsea players form connections yet. Think the Gusto-Estevao-Acheampong connection can especially improve if the Brazilian can have the more fluid role. Further, Barco and Chavarria need to support Gittens better on the left so that he can combine. Not good enough so far. 30 minutes played and Chelsea have produced 1 shot compared to Leeds' 8.

As much as @Chealsea have rotated, so have Leeds. This is on the players on the pitch. If you canโt make your mark against a rotated Leeds team then itโs embarrassing
Really bad first half
