Stones got suckered into that challenge, showed his inexperience today but cracking game!

I always read Stones-Zouma was supposed to be Chelsea's CB duo. Two rookie CBs, still learning, still making mistakes, potential to be great but far from great still. It would never work.

I miss the days of Terry-Carvalho. They spoiled me.

Yeaah, I mean I always assumed it would be an alternative pairing.. Eventually then paired together more often and it'd work. Hence Cahill signing on for 4 years and probably Terry being offered another extension.

Terry needs to be let go smoothly and Cahill needs to be let go abruptly. The great faith placed in Cahill is a move I'll never understand. There was a time when Gallas and Alex were considered not good enough.

Both Chelsea and Utd let their standards drop.

For sure man.. But that's the consequence of our stance in the league now. We have to settle until we're back where we belong and THEN hopefully we can pull of some actual proper recruitment

Well done to Mark Hughes.

Stoke has arguably better front 4 than manchester-united

[stroey 2,525]

lol, one of Courtois would've been funny too.

Can Leicester City beat the Mancs?
I'm hoping for it, but not so sure, would settle for a draw, City's attacking line is fuckin' scary, imo.

I'm already looking forward to the game, one of the better things to do on a Tuesday evening...

Not sure if Vardy will start, Drinkwater is also injured it seems. Will be great game for sure, hope Leicester can keep it up, can't stand watching Arsenal at #1

Fuck me, Vardy injured?

What a blow that would be, but of course against us he scored a beauty, can't make this shit up.

I think Vary will play, he's a 'hard' man, he can do it, at least i hope so.

The tinkerman has to show what he's made of, i'm totally with you, can't stand Arsenal being the top dog,

yes, good for Cech, but that's not enough.

[Special Juan 27,090]

Apparently he was ill before the game against Liverpool, can see him starting TBH.

Cannot wait for this game, should be a great watch.

Oh, and I heard Leeds tried to stop tonight's game being televised but were told they would sanctions against them if they didn't allow the TV crew access......Shame, I'd love to see that grotty club punished with a heavy points deduction.

Leicester City XI vs. Man City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth, Morgan, Fuchs, Inler, Drinkwater, Kanté, Albrighton, Mahrez, Vardy.

Man City XI vs. Leicester: Hart, Sagna, Mangala, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Agüero.

[Essien19 1,415]

Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Agüero.

Heavy, but

Mangala, Otamendi

isn't so bad, i think.

Always there for another fuck up.
