Although it is the same side at against Southampton/Newcastle. it isn't the same shape. BR has gone back to the old 4-1-4-1 with Tielemans closer to Maddison than Ndidi. Interesting tactical tweak.
We've got the breaks today. Some shambolic Chelsea defending has given us opportunities. At the other end, we've been much more solid than they have but the few times they've got in, they've bottled it.
This game is far from over in my opinion. Next goal is vital.

For the first time in a lockdown game I’ve been out of my seat, for some reason I ended up on the floor punching the ground when Maddison scored. Really, really want to beat these, all about killing them game now. Fall over, time waste, pick them off. I’m sure they’ll get a rocket at half time.

Spot on. The 4-1-4-1 looks solid. I was wondering whether BR would bring in Soyuncu for this, but in fairness Fofana has been good so far...

Was that his look and nod? Arrogant. Love him.

We're being very conservative, I like it
They're a defensive shambles so there's an argument for saying we ought go more at them, that perhaps we're showing too much respect, but I think it wise to keep it tight. They've got some pace and skills up front and you don't want to give them space.
Stay as we are and we'll get more chances as they push forward in search.

Yep agree - if we don't concede in next 10 mins I think we can push on and win comfortably
But if they score it changes the game entirely.
If we make it 3-0 though we will stroll past them
Werner coming on looks like it. That concerns me.

He's actually 5 th for me behind Timmy, Justin, Albrighton and James... chilwell looks lost and scared out there. Almost as to he doesn't want to do anything against his old team.

Changing tactics at this point would be crazy.
Need to keep playing as we are.
Quick pressing, tight at the back, and look for chances going forwards.

Have to say as well, I’m one of the critics of Maddison on here
Last few games he’s been nothing short of exceptional.
