Match Thread Leicester v Chelsea

[Graz]

That didn't take long did it. Very sloppy defending

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Think Ranieri done a **** up with this formation. Not been in it so far. Never really understood the call for a different formation. Played 4-4-2 all last season and became champions, surely the problem is in making sure we've got the right players to continue with that 4-4-2?

 

[popillius]

Albrighton and Chilwell can't get out at all. We may as well be playing 5 at the back.

 

[popillius]

Wonderful ball from Albrighton. We need far more of those.

 

[popillius]

And again. We need Albrighton up the field.

 

[Graz]

Starting to play a little better now. Albrighton getting forward and playing some good balls. Can't us winning many headers in the box though!

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Starting to get into the game more..

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Disappointed with some of Drinkwater's final ball quality today, otherwise we're not looking too bad after a bit of a shakey start.

 

[Jeff]

We look a lot more competitive in midfield with this formation and personnel.

 

[Graz]

Took 15 mins or so for us to turn up but we're doing much better now, although not creating any real chances yet.

 

[LES Fox]

Morgan and Huth at odds, having to step out and across to meet Chelsea attack.. no shame in switching formation while we're still in it.. chilwell for Simpson. Would prefer to see us play 5 in the middle with 1 up top than 3-5-2.

 

[LES Fox]

If we go in 1-0 at HT Ranieri has got out of one.. gotta change this. Back 4 Musa/Albrighton out wide.

 

[Jeff]

Half time 0-1

 

[TommyK]

Liking Ndidi so far. Very composed.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Much better after the first 15 mins. Started too slow but can see us getting back into this.

Albrighton playing well and pretty much all of our best attacking moves have come through him.

Drinkwater having a bit of a stinker though.

 

[Rock Fox]

terrible start but getting more into after the first 20 minutes . At only one down , we're still in with a chance especially if Albrighton can push in a few more decent crosses.

 

[Matt_B]

Annoying goal to concede but think we've played well since. Their defence looks scared and could easily be 1-1.

 

[londonfox]

I've been very impressed with the tactics, formation, and performance of everyone. No changes needed. We look solid for the most part and look like we could score a goal.

Well done to Claudio on the tactics and formation.

 

[Miles Away]

Most played well with exception of Drinkwater who has looked poor and Morgan who looks like he's wearing a suit that doesn't fit him.

I think Drinkwater has played well except for his final ball. He's winning a lot and picking up loose balls well.
