Pre Match - Chelsea V Leicester City Saturday 27 August 2022

[Sly]

You know what, I’d love us to win here and get momentum going. 
 

We’ve under performed

We’ve stuttered 

We’ve tripped up

We’ve got players causing unrest

 

We’re better than this though. 
 

We all know it. 
 

Let’s show these jumped up, title buying tossers what football is. 
 

We are still a bloody good team and we can beat these. 
 

Let’s step up a gear and put in a performance then put them to the friggin sword. 
 

COME ON LEICESTER!!! 

[Jakemoore]

Fofanna going has ensured one thing - Brendan won’t be going now. We don’t have a head of recruitment and BR has openly stated that he has several conversations with several players over the summer and so the board will trust him to sign cunty bollox’s replacement. We need to get a move on though. We are notoriously bad when there is time pressure. 

[copunk]

Anything other then a heavy defeat is a plus 

I just can't see anything other then a Chelsea comfortable win 

Just put a performance in lads please FFS

What did he say? 

OPA said that he thought Cags had played well and in reply Rodgers said something like Cags had been unfocused a few times but that was perhaps not surprising because he hadn't been playing regularly. 

[kingkisnorbo]

Is there a chance they announce Fofana on the pitch?

433 and take it to them a la what Leeds did to them last week.

 

They played with pace, energy and confidence. 

 

You've seen us play right?

I can’t see Everton or Wolves winning. I do fancy West Ham to beat Villa though. 

Last place might give us a bit more momentum to sack BR, so if that is what’s needed I’d welcome the L today.

I would imagine not. Hopefully everyone has agreed he stays away from the game today

[ozleicester]

calling it now... 2-3 vardy hattrick

[ronnup]

The lads better turn up for this

We're a squad of bloody good players but we're definitely not a bloody good team under this current manager unfortunately.

Really want to see Cags

You won’t. That would be Rodge accepting he has wrong 

[Blue-fox]

Been told Soumare is starting and maddison isn’t fit enough to start but probably on bench. 

[FoyleFox]

Hopefully won't be able to get a stream for this

 

The optimistic part of me hopes we fully 'do a Leicester' and win today. The current realistic sad me knows this won't happen.

[Guest Lako42]

Is the nags head pub near Oxford Circus worth going to?

This statement is quite possibly the main cause of all of my current frustration.

[jayfox26]

Chelsea are pap. Unfortunately we are worse! 

[jayfox26]

Todays team is 

 

Ward, Castagne, Amartey, Evans, Justin, Soumare, Tielemans, KDH, Praet, Barnes, Vardy

[Guest Lako42]

If Soumare starts then he's seriously trolling 

[kyleolly]

All out attack

Hes starting. And yeh at this point he probably is taking the piss a bit! Hes defo waiting to be sacked! Should just go all out and start Vestergaard alongside Amartey

Not if they like their seats bolted to the stand

This gives balance and overloads the midfield, with Castagne overlapping and Nacho linking.

 

It's also never, ever going to happen.

That midfield would get steam rollered. Probably will anyway though regardless who starts..

Not sure, with one of Castagne/Justin pushed on and Nacho dropping off, there are bodies. 

 

More bothered about having the potential to attack, it's the only hope.
