Chelsea 2-1 Leicester City

[ZAPHOD2319 4,803]

When it is all said and done…. My weekend is happier after 3 points!!

[Johnnyeye 7,501]

huge 3 points considering we were playing with 10 men, great response from the lads. James is world class, also great from Sterling. On to the next one

[Blues11 213]

3 points is great. Going to need every point we can get and what seems to be a much more competitive season than last.

That being said we've beat two bad teams and we badly need changes. No clue why LC didn't press the shit out of us after we went down one man, that second Sterling goal they basically watched us pass it up the field. Gave Jorginho too much space and that's when he's a pretty decent player. 

It's time to give Broja a chance and bench Havertz or Mount for a game, they're not providing anything.

Have to hail the teams character today. I thought it would be another one of those days when Conor got sent off but we turned things around and earned our luck. We have been so unlucky for weeks including today so more than deserved fortune to swing back for once. 

This team is odd at times...

On one hand, it can do incredible stuff against the odds, like drawing away to Liverpool despite being a man down, nearly turning a tie against Madrid in the CL, and rescuing 3 points here.

And on the other, it can be wasteful with chances created, and also leak goals from individual errors.

We are still missing that one talisman like figure that we had in Drogba/Hazard. Kante when fully fit and in form is our only bet atm.

I think we will likely see some rotation on Tue for our front 3 attackers.

Doubt it.

There's surely no way Tuchel fields the same front three. Starting Broja would make perfect sense considering the opposition.

I def don't want Havertz and Mount, Mount has been appalling so far this season, the worst against Leicester.

That's why myself and a lot of other people just wonder why we're so one dimensional. Against better teams we'll have chances to counter and I actually like our formation because we need the coverage. 

Against teams that barely send numbers forward to be conservative? We still play the same way and they're probably glad we do. 

We went on a unreal run of defensive football when we won the champions league. The offense has never clicked so sooner or later Tuchel is going to have to figure something out.

Couldn't watch the game yesterday but did watch the highlights when I got home... we were very lucky to win that game. 

Havertz is just awful man... it's really disappointing to see the hype dying in front of our very own eyes. 

Gallagher isn't suited to this system and is trying way too hard to impress. He may have already blown his chance.

Sterling saved us. 🙌 

Chalobah is not good enough.

Cucarella had a bad game by the looks of it to me.

We need a striker and CM badly.

[milka 3,390]

he is a 37 years old btw

[cfccrost 23]

I think we should play 3-5-2

Mendy

Fofana.         Silva.                kk

              Kante kovacic

James       mount/havertz/conor   cucu

Havertz/broja/striker if buy.    Sterling

 

Tuchel loves playing mount and kai.

James and cucu need to be as close to oponents goal as possible because they are our only threat 😅

Raheem Sterling just singled out Kai Havertz for his great effort in his post match comments.

I think Havertz did a lot for the team in the 2nd half after we went down. To use Sterlings own words - "worked his socks off"

He deserves a lot more credit than he is getting here.

But yes, we need a clinical finisher in our ranks.

Havertz and Cucurella played well I thought. Havertz. By the end, he was the target of goalkicks, clearances and he ran himself to the ground pressing the Leicester defense on his own.

View from my seat yesterday, Thiago Silva what a warrior! 💪🏼
