Leeds United Chat • Javi Gracia post Chelsea
Yes. disappointed too. After watching the attitude my players had today I can only say I am proud of them. Need to improve many things but if we analyse the game of the first 30, they were better, and dominated all aspects of the game.
We improved after that and the second half was something similar. They had the moments. Goal from a corner and we tried until the end. Team showed character.
Why did you not start well?
We tried to be aggressive from the beginning. True we did not know whether they play with three or four at the back. tried to adjust during the game and we did this well. They played at home and they needed the points. We need time to work the game and to have the confidence with the ball.
Final ball issues?
Big problem is not creating chances and after that. of course, improving the effectiveness to finish better, More clinical, but if we analyse the game the opponent had two or three clear chances, some from set-pieces, but today they scored one and we were not able to score.
Prefer to be calm, work on it. With confidence to finish better next time.
Gnonto and Roca dropped?
Thought it was better for today with two wingers like Cree and Jack. It was muy decision to think about counters, during the game. Expected us to get points during the game from the whole squad.
Have the goals to stay up?
We think we have many options, some players are injured. In the next games. More strikers. The goals are not about the strikers. All the team has to collaborate in scoring
Intend to start Bamford?
On Thursday, I knew he would not be fit
Chelsea gave you a lot of territory?
We did a lot of good things to allow Chelsea to do that. Set-pieces. Corner kicks in different ways. I am sure they needed the points and after not getting good results, they were frightened. I don't know the right word.
