Chelsea will be gutted to have come away from Stamford Bridge with only a point, as they had countless chances to win it.
It was a tale of two halves once again for Chelsea. The first had the free-flowing football on show that we’ve been accustomed to under Liam Rosenior, but the last 30 minutes raised concerns.
One thing that can be raised in Chelsea’s defence is the fact that Leeds United got away with what appeared to be a handball in the lead-up to their second goal, but it was cleared by VAR.
But let’s take nothing away from the fact that we threw away a positive position after completely switching off and not punishing the opposition.
Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro both had chances to win it in the dying embers.
Time for Mamadou Sarr to be given a try, or why else did we bring him back?
Something needs to change defensively!

Liam Rosenior brings up Moises Caicedo’s poor decision vs Leeds United
Moises Caicedo brought down Leeds United defender Jayden Bogle in the second half, and Lukas Nmecha dispatched it to pull one back for the visitors.
Now, it wasn’t as if Caicedo was awful on the night, but it was certainly one of his quieter games. He didn’t look as dominant in midfield and was beaten on a couple of occasions.
However, speaking after the game, Rosenior brought up the decision that Caicedo made to bring down Jayden Bogle, calling it ‘poor’ (as per Football.London).
“Two key moments that we don’t take care of, we don’t stay calm.
“Moi has been top but we make a poor decision. We give away a penalty. I genuinely can’t remember Leeds having a shot or a moment in the game.”
Anything you would change, Chelsea fans?🤔
