Cicero Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Kanté confirmed out. Really can't see us getting anything here regardless. May as well start with two strikers if we are going to persist with the endless cycle of ping it wide and cross. Mendy James---Zouma--Silva--Chilwell Gilmour---Mount Ziyech--------------------------------CHO Havertz----Tammy
The Artful Dodger Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Rodgers' interview to take over Lampard?
Administrator Stan Posted January 18, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 18, 2021 Vardy may not be fully fit, but I think he'll start. Soyuncu may come in for Fofana. Kasper Castagne - Evans - Soyuncu - Justin Ndidi - Tielemans Albrighton - Maddison - Barnes Vardy It's a shame we don't have a proper pacy right winger to get at Chilwell (Under may play but he doesn't offer the defensive side like Albrighton does). Chilwell or Azpilicueta will probably be their weak links so attacking them there would suit us, especially with Barnes on the left side. @Cicero is James fit? Justin and Castagne could play either side as they have done in the past 2 games.
Administrator Stan Posted January 19, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 19, 2021 Amazed Giroud doesn't even make Chelsea's bench. We're notoriously bad from defending set-pieces. He'd have been a big threat on them against us. Rudiger scored 2 headers here last season. Wouldn't surprise me if he got on the scoresheet again tonight. We're unchanged.
Administrator Stan Posted January 19, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 19, 2021 Yesssss! Ndidi shins one in from long range!
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted January 19, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 19, 2021 Lampard has to go soon surely. Leicester look like they could be 3-0 up by half time here. They should easily finish 3rd or 4th if they cut out the stupid home defeats to Fulham and West Ham. They're right up there with Liverpool and the Manchester sides for looking like they can hurt their opponents every time they go forward. Quite the contrast from Chelsea so far here and over the past few weeks.
LFCMadLad Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Barnes running James ragged down that left side for Leicester. Don't get all the hype surrounding Havertz either, I mean, what even is he? Doesn't look very pacey, certainly not a striker, vision looks decent but nothing special. Just can't work him out?
Cicero Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Managed to watch a glimpse of the game before heading out. Saw that superb tackle from Justin on CHO. There precisely lies the problem with Lampard and his tactics. Kovacic had the ball from one end, and CHO was in acres of space out wide. Instead of moving the ball quickly by playing it directly to CHO to catch Justin out of position, Kovacic lethargically played the ball to James, and then James played the ball to CHO. And while that was playing out, Justin had enough time to correct his position and hound CHO before he even got the ball. So easy to defend against.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted January 19, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 19, 2021 What was that free kick from Mount
Administrator Stan Posted January 19, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 19, 2021 Lovely ball from Albrighton and calm finish from Maddison. Nicely done all round.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted January 19, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 19, 2021 League 1 defending there. Chelsea really need a solid world class centre back. A 53 year old Brazilian who used to be world class doesn’t count.
Administrator Stan Posted January 19, 2021 Author Administrator Posted January 19, 2021 Very good half from us. Only weakness was probably Ndidi losing track of Mount a couple of times and leading to good openings for Chelsea. Albrighton puts in a proper shift every game. Love it.
God is Haaland Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Chelsea play like a team who want a new manager. Tuchel?
Rick Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Lampard has to go after this. If for no other reason than giving Leicester more points over us.
carefreeluke Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Most of it’s on Lampard of course but how more years do we have to put up with the likes of Rudiger and Kovacic?
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted January 19, 2021 Subscriber Posted January 19, 2021 Justin should be getting a goal there.
LFCMadLad Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Chelsea are really bad at the back... And in midfield....... And in attack ........
Smiley Culture Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Fat Frank vindicating Sol Campbell’s beliefs about skin colour.
Cicero Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Don't think Leicester will find any easier game to defend against.
El Profesor Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Chelsea´s midfield is terrible. It doesn´t create nor defend. They badly need a 6 AND a 8.
carefreeluke Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 Pulisic has gone under the radar as well, barely effective at all with anything these days since his return. Just constantly loses the ball. Of course, the recent performances aren’t a true reflection of a lot of these players true level but Pulisic has definitely escaped criticism, considering the amount others have got.
