Honestly, we don't deserve the win, but hopefully we can build on that for the next 3 weeks.

We NEED to do better in the final third. That was beyond unacceptable. 

LOL

Kante MOTM by a country mile!

Fluctuating 2nd Half .. But it is, what it is and a win is a win.

We did everything we could to lose that game at the end. 

Saying that, absolute joke of a performance by the referee. how many clear cut fouls do you miss? 

And how on earth do you see any contact on Vardy, but then miss a clear cut handball in a much better position for yourself and your assistant? Honestly. 

Bakayoko was immense today. Amazing runs from the back. MOTM for me. Pedro and Willian were both frustrating. Hazard was great when he came on. He is clearly a different class. David Luiz was a rock as usual. Cesc was woeful. Morata did his job, and made a bunch of great runs. He is ambitious going forward, and tries things, which I think will be a good thing going forward with Hazard in the line up. Could see some really pretty goals. 

Zappacosta can play. He looked tactically out of place a lot of times, but he can get up and down, and looks to have a good ball control when running. Had a few bad touches, but it is his first game. Think his feel for our system will come with more play time. 

Lastly, Kante was himself aside from 3 or so moments. Very unlike him, but we are all human. 

Once again, the ref can go do one. Absolute scumbag.

Very good result

Outside of that last bit where he ignored Willian on the breakaway, Bakayoko was right there with him. He looked awesome rampaging up the pitch with the ball. Can't wait until he's 100% fit.

morata was bad imo

Points to Ponder:

 

1) Bakayko looks great. With more adjustments he will be a beast in midfield.

2) Once again Mosses and that Final touch. Zap should start next game.

3)  We should have killed the game, and shaky 2nd half.

Still way too early to pass judgment. But it was clear from his touches that he was nervous today.

Agree but I watched his youtube compilation and I am not impressed. Some people in this forum slated me for making judgment from youtube video.

Youtube video tend to embelish player strength yet I am not impressed.

Am I the only one to enjoy the last 10 minutes of the game? Chelsea managed to keep the ball very well.

He can keep being bad if he keeps scoring all these important goals. Also some of us clearly have a different definition.

I think if he can develop better passing and more imporantly better decision making, we will have a monster midfield in bakayoko.

Awful football match overall, but a great result to the upcoming hectic schedule. Baka's run is absolutely brilliant but his final pass is poor many times. Good cameo from Hazard and finally our target man Morata who's is settling very nicely in PL - I hope he will score a goal with his foot soon!

Was excellent first half and then got no service second half. Not his fault at all.

[Beigl 1,387]

We should have been 3-0 up before the penalty incident, we had many good chances to score, but we let Leicester get back into the game. The last 30 minutes were pretty bad and passive, ut we still got the job done, which is the most important thing.

[different level 1,056]

We got the win pretty comfortably with our only mistake being the penalty we conceded. Refereeing is still baffling, Leicester players have handballed 3 times in their box. I think the only way a penalty is given in our favour could be if an opposition player takes the ball in his hands and casually holds it for a couple of seconds.

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

Baka and Kante looked impregnable. Leicester weren't gonna score except for chances after stupid mistakes. which we gifted them a dozen of. There were so many unforced mistakes and low tempo in the end it almost felt like a women's match

not the first time tibo conceded a needless pen. Morata, Willian and Pedro need work done on their finishing. 

Probably the international break also did not help (abolish international football already!) Zappacosta was unlucky in all his actions. 

 

So glad hazard is back but we should be better without him. I hope we will find a winger or am about his class next window

Hahaha was thinking the same. 

The confidence with which opposition players handle the ball in their box when playing us makes me think they are instructed that they are welcome to do so and need not fear punishment
