Only good things is we are only 1 down and surely can't play any worse second half! 

[Bezzanator89]

What is going on with these shambolic set pieces? Embarrassing.

Nothing to do with wingers, playing Hamza and Wilf means dropping Maddy or Tilly, cant play all 4.

Playing 4 means dropping other players like Albrighton who is proven or Barnes who is learning but it looks like Brendan does not want to drop one of the four at present, maybe he is still worried about the defence and thinks they need more cover?

Think that's it. Set up to be solid but giving up too much for it. Hopefully there's at least a plan B for when we do go behind. Guess we will find out next 45

[Gazza M]

Chelsea are nervous. Let's get at them! 

[m4DD0gg]

No difference from Wolves what so ever.

 

Do not see the point in Perez what so ever, offers nothing at all and another 20-30 odd millions wasted.

[Lincolnshire Fox]

wow... just, wow! 

[David Hankey]

Another wasted corner by Maddison. We're seeing this in most games.

[TMELcfc]

Hate this formation, why has he messed about with since last season? 

Might as well be Puel in charge still 

[foxes_rule1978]

The three players we need to create have been very poor... and weren’t great against wolves either

I was being realistic

Gotta have some faith.

 

We changed possession, slowed them down a bit but not much else to offer. It can only get better.

[don_danbury]

no shots on goal and can't take a corner properly. jesus

[PoshhFox]

It can’t get worse can it? Right? ..

[Mike Oxlong]

That score line doesn’t tell the story of just how we’ve been 

 

C’mon Brendan, sort it out 

[Guest Mee-9]

Thank god we got in just 1-0 down.

 

Do your magic Rodgers. 

[kingfox]

To sum that half up...

 

Thank fvck it's only 1-0.

 

It's like Rodgers learned absolutely nothing from last week.

 

Barnes & Albrighton on, Maddison & Perez off.

[Nick]

Well lots of possession and only the Ndidi mistake separates the teams, however we are gonna need to take Hamza or Ndidi off get Madders playing in the middle and Barnes running at them.

[HankMarvin]

Are

they doing sweepstake to see who can make the most mistakes 

[KFS]

Fuchs

Tielemans

Maddison

Choudhury

Perez

 

Get your fvcking shit together you pricks.

[car1os]

I think we need some perspective - we are playing a top 4 team at their home ground.

 

However we should be doing better. We are trying to accommodate too many players in the middle of the park, meaning Tielemans and Maddison are being pushed wide and into areas they are not as effective in.

 

Bring in Albrighton and Barnes. take off Choudhury and Perez. Then let’s see how we start the second half

corner shocking

Tielemans has been the worst player on the pitch - and he’s got competition. Not ideal

He's been like this in our three competitive matches. I really wouldn't mind if subbed him, brought on Barnes and moved Maddison to the centre.

[spacemunky]

Chelsea, much like me in my teen years, blew their wad way too early.

 

All pink in the second half!

[Guest Cujek]

Ametuer on and off the pitch today 

 

Nieve selection, formation and tactics. 

 

Players don't look up for it and look confused with how they are supposed to be playing.

 

Not sure there is any rescuing this today. 

 

Make no mistake we are very very lucky to be going in only 1 down. 

 

Not looking forward to the second half

[ithuriel]

I'd take Wilf off, pull Maddy in, put Albrighton on and tell Perez and Vardy to switch around every 5 minutes.
