I think the second half demonstrated exactly why Sarri went down the cautious possession route last season after Arsenal at home, it wasn't pretty but we don't have the individual talent defensively to cope with counters after committing the runs in behind.

However i would still want us to play that way vs non top six sides, risky but most teams don't have the quality and decision making to pick us off, even yesterday Leicester counters were constantly being broken down by bad decision making by Maddison and Vardy and those two are as good as it gets outside the top 6.

Big games though has to be the same blueprint we faced Liverpool.

 

Vardy is a good player. Now I know why the big clubs did not go for him. He's 32, so the year Leicester won the title he was 28.
About us however it was not only the vulnerability to counterattacks, because when did you see any serious attacking football after the 1-0 - or a couple of minutes after the 1-0 to be precise ?
Nothing worked well and only the final scoreline was not horrible enough, like the staweberries-raspberries last year.

All of this directness is good and fun but there is a time when we need to slow down the match. 

It was our biggest problem, our pressing is terrific but we need to retain possession in the opp half better in it will be end to end..

And when it was end to end. Leicester created  3/4 good opportunities where we created very little.

Arsenal went for him and he said no.

We definitely need width, cant wait to see how we play with Pulisic and CHO on the wings. i would like to see this lineup soon: 

                Kepa

Azpi    Rudi    A.C    Emerson

        Kante     Kovacic/Jorginho

Pulisic      Mount/RLC      CHO

               Tammy/Giroud

I am not sure Cho coming back will help much, hazard on the other hand is whole another story.

I didn't see this match, what I can say is that the schedule wasn't friendly with us 

now the most important thing is to not lose confidence in Lampard's work  

 

Schedule fucked us up this early in the season. But we have seen enough imo to let Lamps do his shit, let the team settle, get fitter, more used to the new system and get our injured men back. If we just had 1-2 killers man, would have been a whole different story, clueless inept board leaving our dicks hanging. I like the way we game and to me its the way forward.

I want to know this:
We were vulnerable to counterattacks ok, but luckily nothing happened.
The scored from a corner kick not a counterattack.
But our midfield and up front was Sahara desert - Gobi desert, from the moment after Mount scored for us (7th minute !).
How do you explain that ?

Leicester city dominated the second half. They won every second ball esp after giroud left. They bullied us and did not need to sit and counter.

we have more opportunities to score in the first, and they had far more chances in the second.

yes, legs were prob a bit heavy given pool game, but some problems are recurring.

You call the first seven minutes "first half".

We scored after 7 mins. 
Soon after there was that glancing header (from Kante ?) that landed into Smeichel's arms.
Then nothing.

 

We battered Leicester for the first 25 ish minutes and while we lost total control after that we were still quite comfortable until half time.

Are we going to see a Bat's show ?

Need to bang in a hattrick for Lampard to notice he's available.

Hope for him, because goal is the only thing he can bring to a team, it should be a minimum against young players. Hope for us to because even if i'm certain he can't play alone on the front of our attack, if nothing else works, playing aside Giroud could transform him in a very prolific striker.

Got a brace and should have scored more, so hopefully Lampard noticed his contribution from the stands.
