closed Chelsea 0-1 Leicester [FA Cup]

[Magic Lamps 11,653]

Terrible first half from both teams

Timo, Ziyech, Alonso absolute trainwreck 

[Vesper 28,719]

not looking good for my one hope for a Pool cock-up out of their last 3 games

[ZAPHOD2319 4,466]

We have looked the better team, but I am soooo tired of saying that when we have nothing to show for it.

Nahh they won't. They know they have a huge chance to get in and can't see them throwing it away now

PULISIC for Ziyech

NOT NOW, VESPER!

[Laylabelle 9,348]

Poor Wener..getting noise from the Leicester fans...

Hopefully we can have a shot on target..and a goal!! And boooom

[Vesper 28,719]

welp, Håland is 90% likely to get CL, same for Sancho

what a collapse by Frankfurt

losing to the worst Schalke team in decades (they were only on 13 points coming in, 19 away from the safe zone

That half was Timo Werner’s 2021 season encapsulated in 45 minutes. Does everything right (excellent movement, dangerous runs, taking players on when he gets it) and then fluffs his lines when it matters most.

He needs to be made permanently into a 2nd striker or inside left forward next season playing off a proper #9. Then we’ll see the best of him I feel. It’ll do his confidence a world of good.

That's my frustration!!! I like how he tries but it doesn't really work! Pass it dont try to score when we know it'll go wrong..most the time anyway

Bring on Pulisic!

[Azul 1,615]

Werner or Ziyech have to come off. I believe Werner's movement is nullified by Leicester's defenders task to drop deep. That's why we're seeing a lot of space between the midfield and defence, because Leicesters midfield and attack are actually pressing. That's why I believe Pulisic has to come on for Werner.

What should have happened was Werner just focusing on running in behind and get Mount and Ziyech to take advantage of the space in between the lines. It's bloody obvious that Leicester are scared of Werner's pace. Get Mount and Ziyech to drop a bit deeper and play narrower between the lines!

The fact that Tammy can’t get into the squad repeatedly never mind the XI and the fact that Giroud also can’t get a game makes i xtremely obvious that TT thinks the same.

A striker will surely be bought. We need to pray we get CL football so we can throw mega money to convince Haaland. Because there aren’t many other options out there. Lukaku isn’t leaving Inter.

[OneMoSalah 8,773]

First half hasn’t been great but the folk posting train wreck/disaster/whatever else need to take a day off 😂

All finals are cagey games, there havent been any clear cut chances, quite frankly I think Leicester have been worse than us going forward bar that Tielemans pass for Vardy which Reece is in a great position to cover.

Didnt expect much else really. Personally thought Leicester would be better. A goal in that first half would of been perfect for us.

Keep Werner on to keep the defence deep then bring pulisic on with mount to take the spaces between the midfield.
