They've just hit form. Yay.

Think we'll 'do a Leicester' and beat them.

 

It needs to happen or this forum will probably implode.

…or they have their eyes firmly on the Champions League.

 

I’d rather play a Chelsea that has the Champions League to play for still, than one who has nothing but a European league position to play for.

 

They maybe complacent, or most likely I’m clutching at straws!

Chilwell is in his element in this set up. It’s taken Potter way too long to realise this. Literally never needs to defend, plays higher than than our wingers do for Leicester. He’s free to play with no great expectations as a wide very high non defending wing back. No pressure to score, just living the dream and free styling some shithousery in his spare time in this match and against Leeds. We need Ricardo and Tete to force him back on Saturday and make him defend as we know generally he doesn’t like doing that so much. Fofana looks good as well. Seems to get close to most of Chilwell’s suddenly very accurate corners too 😬

Don’t care what anyone says but Vardy has to start for me, only one who looks like gives a single fvck at times.

Is it just me who actually hasn't seen that side of him recently?

With Barnes injured and Tete off form and us snookering ourselves with no other wingers I guarantee he'll match Chelsea up in a back five and we all know how that goes.

...if we need someone to prop up the left wide berth, I  think Hill could do a job!!!

Plays and thinks like a winger, also has a defensive element to him and we could just attempt to block that side.

 He seems to want to make this happen and press from the front,  but others are not on the same wavelength.

I read that in captain Kirk's voice and it fits perfectly!

Really? why aren't we playng our best player in his preferred position and work the other square pegs in the round holes around him?

We know Brendan plays 4-2-3-1, hell we're at home so 2 defensive midfielders is obvious from him. Tete left, Praet right, Mads in a hole and Nacho up top, hopefully not wearing two right footed boots this time 

...you will get that performance from Nacho!!!

 We are never going to learn and need to take him out of the highest man forward, we are never going to learn. 

A 4-3-3 where we are comfortable playing in this way, we will have players where they should be.

Please not 3 at the back.

 

Part of me is tempted to put Madders on the lw, move KDH further forward and bring Ndidi alongside Mendy, but he should probably stay central.

 

So really it's Praet LW isn't it! No other option. (Never thought I'd be sat here wishing we had Jack Harrison)

It seems part of Rodgers’ plan to use Praet at every position except his natural one, but he looked quite good at LW when he came on against Southampton.  I don’t think we’d seen him there before.  If Barnes can’t go I’d sooner try Praet on the left and leave Maddison central where he can have the most impact.

Clutching at straws the size of Peter Crouch I think. 
 

Between legs in the champions league, might have a point but now they have won and into the next round, makes them more dangerous. They’ll be in good spirits and playing a team that has no confidence, no cohesion in their play and low on confidence. 
 

I don’t think it’ll pretty for us and could just be another day of poor football and a heavy defeat.

He's probably as titsed off with Rodgers and his tactics as everyone else as it doesn't allow him to play to his strengths.

I think Potter will come good and Chelsea will finish in the top 6.

Less than 3 points on Saturday will be a piss poor result for them.
