Can’t see us getting anything from this game 

Can understand comments like that before the game or if we are losing but not when we go into HT 0-0. 

[Simoken]

Ffs mendy!!!!

[The Quick Brown Fox]

We didn't concede just before half time, must be the managers tactics of having a back 7 with the 2 in front shielding them. 

[raidboss]

Survival mode other than that one shot by wilf

[Vacamion]

 

I can genuinely see Vardy being subbed.

 

He looks like he has got the hump.

 

 

 

 

[mozartfox]

Well I never.  Puel definitely in.

[The Doctor]

Pretty reasonable first half tbf. Got away with one where they hit the bar, otherwise well drilled and kept them at arms bay. Bit more adventure up top (or better decision making Maddison) and we've got a chance of a classic smash and grab here

[TheUltimateWinner]

And breathe 

[Cameron Davidson]

I have reason to believe that the formation isn't suiting us..... 

 

[MC Prussian]

Holding up well so far against a very powerful Chelsea side. Think the formation and personnel do fit, it's just that we ought to be a bit more precise going forward and use any opportunity that arises more clinically.

 

Other than that, well done so far.

[kingfox]

Should've started Matty James, he bossed this fixture last season.

[Ecdysiast]

Marc, Hamza, Casper wilf and Ben can all hold their heads up....The rest should be ashamed

[Pete from the USA]

This is as good as we're gonna get, folks. A 0-0 after 90 min would be a great outcome.

[Tom12345]

What was that from Mendy? Should have hit it forward first time for Vardy to run on to ...

 

Gosh we are missing players who can hit it first time to find Vardy! Only Albrington does that now.  Chilwell cannot and waits for too long.  Mendy is not minded to do it at all. Ndidi may have the intention some times but do not have the technical ability to do it.

 

Meanwhile, Maddison needs to come off.

Agreed

[The_Rorab]

I understand Vardy doesn't feel like this system suits him at all, but he's really been poor this half, and a lot of it is stuff that is irrespective of playstyle.

[H.a.r.r.y]

im not sure if it is possible to sit further back than we did that half fvck me, at least try

He just hasn't been on form this season. Unable to get to the ball and when it gets to him he can't hold it or control it. 

 

Good defensive display against a world class team though so far.

 

Hamza, Chilwell, Ricardo and Albrighton all playing well.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

The longer it stays 0-0, the more chance of smash 'n' grab. And I for one won't complain about the lack of style points.

[Cameron Davidson]

Maddison (Mendy as well in that last minute) is delaying his pass a touch too much... either that or being greedy, but reasonable half...

Agree except re Ben. What did he do?
