I would take Alioski off. Love the guy but he’s getting pummelled here. Dallas might steady it a bit and Rodrigo could be the difference.
Both Raph and Harrison need to produce but we know they can. I wouldn’t take either off.
Just switch the wingers back to where they are best. We caused much more trouble for them when they were on the opposite wings.
Think the £750 million in squad cost difference is showing.

Alioski getting ripped by Werner on the left. James, Havertz and Giroud are having a field day. Corners are killing us. Where's Pontus when you need him?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How many have they scored from corners?
Plus Harrison defends better than Raph. We are stronger, defensively on our right.

Alioski having a poor game but that was a brilliant tackle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I worry that taking alioski off removes some pace out of our back 4. i'd switch our wingers back over tho. it's not working for either on the opposite flanks.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alioski pace? Not sure about that - energy but not the quickest I’d say. He’s played well recently but having a shocker. Dallas would unitive us defensively but seems like bielsa doesn’t trust Rodrigo in terms of team duties. Think that’s the change most of us would like to see.
Been impressed with Chelsea - more so off the ball than on it. They’ve closed us down really well and caused lots of mistakes, which is where most of the trouble has come from.
Disappointing goal, both cb’s ball watching they were queuing up to score from a routine cross.
Quality of Crossing been the biggest difference between the sides. I guess a reflection of the Calibre of the individuals. Still all to play for.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair points, they have had a field day down our left side. We have been lucky a couple of times playing ourselves into trouble playing bad balls straight to them out from the back (Meslier and LLorente)
Our only other defender on the bench is Struijk. It's five years since we had a half decent left back - Charlie Taylor - but he would get burned today. What can Bielsa come up with? I just think Rodgrigo would ask more questions and give us some breathing space. Fabulous game.

So it should but we all know things don’t always go according to squad cost. We are doing ok. Cut out the silly mistakes and we can get a result here.
Here we go.................
Come Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeds!!!
MOT
Come ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN Leeds !!!
OMG Cooper! He is doing my blood pressure no good at all!
Poor from raph.
Hate that
Aluoski is a good player just rhibk its not right for him at the moment.
There is a lot good about him and you can see why bielsa loves him, but I think dallas at lefyback on rodrigobon seems the better option for this game

Alioski-esque.
Chelsea looking quick and slick ! Let's hope we can hold out until they tire.
Harrison couldn’t cross a road today
Why doesn't Klich cross it?
We are giving the ball away too easily
