daddylonglegs Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Was speaking to Claudio Ranieri pre match and he said his team, really wants to win this one.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 I can see us losing this. Whilst they're having an awful season so far, they still have the quality to be dangerous and Jose often does well against managers he has argy with. Its the kind of game that's a real shitter for us. If we lose, the press will have a field day with shitloads of 'they cant do it against the big teams' but win it and it'll be about how Chelsea are having problems. To be honest, i'd be more than happy with a draw. Great postBut I hope we still manage to beat them
ARM1968 Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 I think if we play as we can and show Chelsea no more respect than they deserve, we could be The Special Ones last game.
leicesterseddon Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Really hope we win this one. There's an army of pundits and commentators itching to write our season's obituary if we falter this month. It's understandable but would be very very satisfying indeed to prove the sceptics wrong. My only worry is that we try to out-think them and end up giving them too much respect. We're at home and we should play to our own strengths, confident that we are playing well enough to beat them on our terms, not theirs. Would like to see the same XI that started against Swansea. Ulloa has his obvious weaknesses but I think we will need his strength and aerial presence.
st albans fox Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Defending set pieces crucial against a side which has quite a few tall players. Good delivery from Willian and febregas. expect Leo to start for that reason alone.
fuchsntf Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 The doubters, the non believers are still roaming the forum. This is just another 3 points.Dont reason why...
Swarles Barkley Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Its actually surreal that I would be extremely disappointed if we didn't beat Chelsea.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Its actually surreal that I would be extremely disappointed if we didn't beat Chelsea. I was disappointed with the point against Man U, we must play our game and forget it is Chelsea, this is a Chelsea side devoid of confidence... we shouldn't show them too much respect. I think the first goal is going to be very important in this game, if we get it Chelsea aren't going to come back
blueonyou Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 So in theory Newcastle, Bournemouth, Norwich and Swansea could all get a win over the weekend which will put Chelsea in the relegation zone. What a motivator that would be to keep them there
maddog Posted 8 December 2015 Posted 8 December 2015 Us winning this is about as much a foregone conclusion as Man united losing at Wolfsburg tonight. We are awesome, all the stats have our players/team right up the top. Can't see Chelsea scoring more than 1, in which case its going to be 2 or 3-1 to us. They also play Porto tomorrow night. Our players will have recovered from their hangovers and can just train and chill.
My Nads Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Chelsea will play in a similar way to Man U and be ultra defensive. We need an early lead to stop them from just sitting back and hoping for a set piece goal. They are low in confidence coming up against the best team in the league, so they will not be looking forward to paying us. It's unlikely, but if the other results go against them, they could be as low as 17th before the start of this game, adding to the pressure.
My Nads Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Sit back we lose. Press and we win. Of course, we don't play any other way.
jammie82uk Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Stat time The Foxes have won seven and lost just one of their last 10 Premier League home games. Chelsea have won the last six Barclays Premier League meetings with Leicester City. Jose Mourinho’s side have won just one of their last eight Premier League away games (W1 D2 L5). No side have allowed their opponents more shots on target from inside the box this season than Chelsea (57). Since losing to Chelsea in April, Leicester City have lost just one of their last 19 Premier League matches (W12 D6 L1). The Foxes have recovered 10 points from losing positions this season, more than any other team in the Premier League. N’Golo Kante has made more interceptions than any other Premier League player this season (64). This is Chelsea’s worst start to a Premier League season (15 points from 15 games) since 1993-94 when they had 13 points after 15 matches. Jamie Vardy has scored or assisted in 13 consecutive Premier League games, beating Stan Collymore's run of 12 set between March and August 1995. Chelsea have failed to score in their last two Premier League away games – they haven’t gone three on the road without scoring since April 2002.
HighPeakFox Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Oddly, I'd be more confident if this was an away fixture.
Collibosher70 Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Wind Costa up and that's half the job done
Bluetintedspecs Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Lose this 0-1 Based on form? Love your cheery optimism I counter with win this 2-0
TJB-fox Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Based on form? Love your cheery optimism I counter with win this 2-0 Nope, would just be classic Leicester to lose this
Bluetintedspecs Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 Nope, would just be classic Leicester to lose this Or we could win or draw, I'll stick with my win prediction
ARM1968 Posted 9 December 2015 Posted 9 December 2015 If we win confidence will be unstoppable- it's still chelsea. Don't want to think about other options.
