Match Thread Chelsea v Leicester

[Jeff]

Ndidi's header well saved.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Some good attacking play from us early on.

 

[popillius]

Excellent start.

 

[Jeff]

We have 63% possession so far.

 

[Jeff]

Yellow card for James.

 

[Blaarev]

Good to see the Fearless Foxes again.

[Motown Fox]

Vardy clearly being held by his arm. A free kick on the edge of penalty box would have been interesting

 

[xavk]

The pressing in their half is outstanding at times. I fear our inability to convert this pressure into a goal will cost us.

 

[popillius]

We are absolutely all over them. They cannot cope with us at all and we should be at least 2 or 3 up.

We're going to lose 1-0 aren't we?!

 

[Polar Bear]

This is such good football. How Ndidi is blossoming. And Vardy seems to still be improving his game at 30.

 

[popillius]

Absolutely brilliant defending from Maguire.

 

[Jeff]

Half time 0-0.

 

[Lako42]

Vardy has a go at Albrighton for playing a ball that he can't be arsed to move for.
.
It's like he's playing for England

 

[Graz]

Sounds like Vardy’s rest has done him some good!

Impressive stats. Need to convert it to a goal now.

 

[Lako42]

As an aside to vardys lack of decent movement we have been absolutely brilliant.

Not many teams will come here and play Chelsea off the park like that.


Shame we didn't take any of our very good chances as we know how that ends.

 

[fitz]

We've been much better. As we haven't taken our chances this is all set up for a 1-0 defeat with them scoring a penalty given for **** all.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Brilliant from us. Only thing I would say is that it's evident Chelsea really haven't got going and tested our defence much but we've been relatively solid against what they have offered up so far. In an attacking and possession sense we've been fantastic today though. Very entertaining passing game.

 

[popillius]

Mahrez, Vardy, Ndidi, James and Chilwell have all been excellent. At the back, we've hardly been troubled.
