1-3 defeat.

 

Not confident at all the way we're playing. 

 

Chelsea are not good at the back tho so do think we'll score.

 

Need a performance before the break

That’s about it. A heavy defeat then 8 days in Dubai to be pampered and reassured about how good they all are.

Whatever happened to running up sandhills in Wanlip under Jock Wallace? 

Sorry all I’m still sore after last night.

We ended up relegated and sand in between the players toes, which is a truly horrendous feeling.

Can't see Vards starting.. bench again.

Depends on his fitness..After Saturday  he has..or better said,we have a Two week break...So against Chelsea,worth seeing if we can give him the First 60-70mins!!

 

We wanted to Play with the big boys,we wanted our matches with Big names to mean something to the table.....!!! Now we are Knocking on that Ambition door...

Funny Thing is we could still lose,and still end up above them.....We have breathing space,But that should be immediately pushed aside....I Feel we Need to Rebuild up Another positive roll of results in Febuary and enjoy Not fear the fixtures.....Or whats the use of riding the high plain...!!!

Kante dosent look his usual self under Frank Lampard, Mount has been off the boil in recent months compared to his form at the start of the season. 

 

With Pulisic & Abraham likely injured or atleast not 100% fit, a dodgy keeper in Arrizabalaga and a likely back 4 of Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rüdiger & Emerson we need to get at them and all but cement that top 4 place!

The Foxes are the fairest team in PL with only 23 yellow cards. That's really praiseworthy, but every now and then our lads would have to be a bit more aggressive in the game. Biting, scratching, fouling is also part of a successful game. Except for Caglar, Hamza and Ndidi there are hardly any players who are tough with their opponents. We can't hide again like we did against Liverpool and Man City, we have to put Chelsea under pressure with hard physical play and from the beginning we have to buy the guts from Chelsea. A lot of young players have yet to learn that, but they can do it. We win 2:0 and consolidate third place and the Champions League becomes a reality...

Sounds like people are really worrying about getting caught. We are currently 14 points clear of the teams in 5th 6th and 7th. So even if Chelsea beat us, at worst we will only be a measly 11 points ahead of 5th and still 5 points clear of Chelsea.

 

This game isn't the be all and end all. People might start to think the wheels are coming off but what better time for the winter break to come in so things can settle down.

 

I'm going to say it. Top 4 is done. I don't care if its 3rd or 4th for us. I want a massive team in the champs league group stages so if we are pot 4 that's fine with me. 

 

People just need to calm down. Stick to how we play, its been successful on the whole so far. Time for Ndidi to show the world that he is at least on par with Kante.

 

Personally I think it will be a draw. Which will not be a bad result at all.

There's this thing known as 'momentum'. Thing with Big Mo' is that once you start sliding you never know where (or if) you'll stop. The sooner we get back on the horse, the better.

Need Praet back desperately for this one.  His calm industry in midfield and ability to pull a miracle long ball out of nowhere will be invaluable against these guys. 
 

I also don’t think I’d be inclined to bench Kelechi for this one. His form is better than Vardy’s at the moment.

Need Praet back in the team, and Youri to be on his game to stand a chance in this. Drop Chillwell (not that i'm not a fan of his).

Chelsea aren't all that. We're at home and potentially a wounded animal. I actually think we will rip them a new one, their back four is very underwhelming and I think the doubters will be surprised. I'm going for a comfortable 4-0 win, Vardy hat-trick and Barnes is going to twat a ball from 40 yards right into the top pocket.

There's also this thing called 'its football, you win some you lose some'

 

Go off of what we have done so far this season. There is nothing to suggest that we will free fall. So why worry about it? We aren't the only team trying to win football matches.

 

Worry about a free fall when it actually begins to happen. Like when we are completely outclassed in matches. Whilst we are still competitive in games then results will come. Even if its win 2 lose 2 draw 2. That would still keep our points ticking over and forces the teams below us to go on an almighty run to close the gap. Something which the teams below us have failed to do.

 

Think some fans need to relax a little (not directed at you), be frustrated when it doesn't go right but too many people are belittling players to the point its offensive and embarrassing.

 

Get behind the lads and lets get into Champs league again

4/6 league losses have come with Praet starting and having little effect on those games 🤔

Get down the bookies you will get 1000 to 1 on that .

A massive game, a win will put out huge statement.

It's a shame we have far too many unrealistic, deluded and negative fans posting on this site.

This season has been immense, we're doing brilliantly with our very young and phenomenally talented squad.

Sadly some of our 'so called' supporters are just not happy unless they're whining and moaning on social media.

Here is our players current problem IMHO, they will be playing against this X1 on  Saturday:

 

                         Chelsea

   Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea

   Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea

                   Chelsea.  Chelsea

 

Mediocre players in the current Chelsea team and if they were in another team - say Wolves or Palace I'd be confident, but they are CHELSEA.
