Wembley Heartbreak & Chelsea's Dark Arts | Leeds 0-1 Chelsea Reaction + Burnley Preview
About this episode
James and Rocco discuss Leeds United's FA Cup defeat to Chelsea and preview their upcoming match against Burnley.
James and Rocco react to Leeds United's 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea at Wembley, and look ahead to the must-win Premier League clash with already-relegated Burnley on Friday night. Chelsea were there for the taking. A side in crisis, manager sacked four days earlier, no goals for weeks. And yet Leeds froze. We get into Aaronson's huge early miss, Pascal Struijk's costly error, the midfield battle Steven Gerrard called "outclassed," Robert Sanchez's blatant tactical timeout, Ampadu's brilliant reaction, and why Daniel Farke chose to take the high road afterwards. Plus all the colour from the day itself: the drive down with a garden centre charge stop, Rocco's dad picking up a gilet on Wembley Way, meeting Andrew Bagchi and his son, a shoutout to Sam Cheang who flew in from Singapore, and Malcolm Sunley's stunning Don McCullin-esque photograph of Elland Road sent in to Bass & Bligh.
