FA Cup: Chelsea (A) 4-2 Post-Match Thread

[Nolucklcfc]

Red card kills it ultimately. 

[Lambert09]

disappointing because the momentum was in our favour and it felt like the stars were aligning. 

 

Unfortunately,  the pace of vesty has cost us and i’d be worried he gets targeted  like dan burn

Worst thing to come out of today is that we're going to have to play James Justin for the next 3 Championship games. 

 

His total inability to pass the football is a fvkcing liability. 

 

KDH still, also, cannot pass the ball. 

 

We shoot ourselves in the foot with the basics. 

 

We also need to stop pressing as high as the opposition penalty box because we're sitting ducks. Moments before the red card, KDH, Winks and N'didi were all 20-25 yards from the Chelsea goal. It's just suicide.

First half was dull, second half was immense, had Chelsea worried, I'm sure Pochetino heart rate was beating 10 to the dozen, Faes has not been great of late that's for sure.

[Hales]

They gave a good account of themselves today. Showed fight and grit.

 

Well done Leicester 💙

[BertFill]

Oh well. Not disgraced. If nobody got injured, that'll do. Couple of weeks to put it behind them and then concentrate on the league.

[dylanlegend]

Think it was a bad performance to be honest tactics were shocking Chelsea were there for the taking defensively 

[ozvaldo]

Much better 2nd half.  The red card killed us. 
Time to regroup, and focus on the league.

he had no choice its in the rules.

[Bats8711]

Can somebody explain keeping Daka on and moving Vesty up to striker (they actually did it)

 

instead of bringing on Nacho and/or Cannon

 

It really doesn't make any sense to me.  Can somebody help?

[foxes_rule1978]

Good showing to be fair, palmer is one of the best right now and shown it again only reason chelsea won 

[Ashdav86]

If we go up that'll be next season in a snap shot

 

Jakub and KDH immense the rest a bit meh

 

Relying on Chelsea having an off day

[HybridFox]

Killed by a referee decision and red card that never was. But proud of the response. Blue billion pound bottlejobs humiliated by a weakened Championship team 

[spacemunky]

Good effort lads!

 

Was really hoping for a Leicester/Coventry final.

One job only now. I want to see that KDH for 9 games. No excuses

I would prefer a KDH could can pass as well. Great engine and running, but passing was way off.

He had to give Doyle a red card.

 

So it wasn't the Ref killing the game its the letter of the law tbh.

 

Played much better 2nd half just have very slow defenders I don't blame Doyle just the rest of the back line look like they run in gravy

[foxsake]

Thought we'd get battered tbh, so not too displeased. KDH was great today. Nice to see Chilwell's transformation into a Wii Avatar is coming along. Onwards!

Hopefully Mavididi kicks on from that. KDH class

 

Oh yes, such a class goal for Stephy.  Juked the defender out of his boots, then a beautiful curled shot inside the far post!

[Col city fan]

Just not sure now.

Although that was a really spirited second half, I genuinely think it we would have played with more tactical nouse, we could have definitely won today. Chelsea themselves are chaotic in how they set up and play.

Whether we now get auto promotion, I still think we will, not because of how we are playing, more because I still think we have the players to get promotion.

Our defending though remains ridiculously bad. Faes is a bomb-scare, Vestie has the pace of a sloth, and Doyle won’t develop into much I don’t think.

The roller coaster ride continues. It’s always been such as a Leicester fan.

[Chelmofox]

Thought we did well, especially in the 2nd half, and 4-2 flatters them. Great goal from Stephy. Thought it might have been written for us when the penalty was overturned but we really struggled with 10.

 

Some time off now for the players and hopefully the fans whos heads are shot more than the players.

We made all our subs 

[FoxesWalk]

We played well, put up a good fight. 
 

Without the red I’d have fancied us to go on and nick it, were the better side second half before that. 

[Pliskin]

Not a bad performance at all. 
 

Had some weird responses to the game, but ultimately they’re a billion point side and we embarrassed Chelsea frankly. 
 

Some silly mistakes cost us, which is my biggest concern going forward this season, we’re now getting punished for those mistakes. 
 

Still, some hope that we might be able to salvage this season yet, we need to take the positives from this game today, 9 cup finals coming up. 
 

Only complaints are Enzo doesn’t trust the likes of Albrighton and Coady, if we don’t go up, it will because Enzo has failed to recognise this, his inexperience as a manager could be our undoing. 

[KFS]

Also, Ben Chilwell is woefully petty isn’t he

You’re blaming the ref?
