Closed Chelsea v Leicester City

[Chelsea? 892]

Why the fuck is Oscar wearing a Chelsea shirt? No desire at all. He is just terrible.

he's done no worse than the rest of our mids today

[The Skipper 20,593]

No one is playing wide at all, even Ivanovic is not present in attack.

I said this earlier. Leicester are playing very narrow... We have the players to exploit them from wide but we're still trying to force it through the middle.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Sick and tired of Azpi playing at LB. We spent £15m on arguably the best in the World ffs and we're still playing him there. He offers absolutely no width or link-up play on that side.

Bye Bye oscar.

[Cholo 428]

I don't know how you think about it but every match I am really shivering and nervous. Just hoping that Costa doesn't get an injury otherwise we are left with Drogba and Torres. Will be a very nerve-jangling season if I have to wrry every match

[Garden Of Eden 40]

Hope we actually start to play like how we played against Burnley this second half, Disappointed with that first half performance!!

[Thendo 1,088]

Very meh... game so far, need to step up a gear in the 2nd half if we want to win...Leicester has been quite impressive so far tbh.

[SinineUltra 1,170]

You would think after Leicester gave Everton a battle and clearly displayed some strong play in the first half some of you would stop underestimating them. They aren't some scrubby squad.

You've got a good point there but most of all it comes down to us playing badly and that's what majority of the comments are concerned about.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Well, I'd say bring on Luis and Willian for Oscar and Azpi. Azpi is getting roasted on that left side, Oscar looks like he doesn't want to play... We need to take control of this game. Leicester seem to want it more.

Getting beat by a brilliant piece of skill ONE TIME doesn't mean he's getting roasted.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

That Riyadh(wrong I know lol) mahrez kid looks quite the player.

[Muzchap 8,966]

Look they are using high press... They cannot do that for 90 minutes...

It's been pretty even - Hazard has stepped up (after not being around) - Oscar trying but not working...

I would definitely sub Oscar

Azpi needs to link up with Hazard much better this half, if Luis doesn't come on

We also need to cut out the useless LONG BALLS that's bread and butter for Championship defenders - quick tempo passing will fuck them...

2nd half we will hit the ground running...

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Costa has been shit by the way. Needs to hold the ball up much better in the 2nd half.

[LAM09 6,841]

We look better defensively today, but worse going the other way.

[Azul 1,615]

No one is playing wide at all, even Ivanovic is not present in attack.

Exactly we need that width Willian should come on, he offers more flexibility.

[Ze Mario 638]

the difference about last season and this is that we can hope a sudden moment that we score against bus parking team. Before we rely on Mata, then Hazard, and now few players can make that moment

[mannyfreshh 164]

First 2 minutes I thought we were gonna put on another passing clinic. Movement was great and we created some chances.after that, we played terribly for 44 minutes. Leicester has looked better than us. 2nd half we need to take control right away and create chances

[Dion 2,476]

I agree, they are quite decent, but we are making them look way better than they really are.

The two reasons for that are that players arent playing fast enough, and when we do have the ball, apart from schurrle making runs, no one really has.

Secondly, when we have had the ball, players are too immobile, therefore no quick passes , 1-2's etc.

We've been a bit slow, yes. But the worst problem was losing possession at the wrong places in the wrong times, those were the times when we looked in danger but even then Courtois had to make what? 1/2 saves? And shots that came from outside the box. We were dictating the game for about half of the time. We suffered some dangerous counter attacks and later we were too slow in our own counter attacks. We weren't too bad IMO. Our finishing was really off though.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Getting beat by a brilliant piece of skill ONE TIME doesn't mean he's getting roasted.

Maybe that was an over exaggeration but he's looking uncomfortable against his man today IMO.
