Have we been mentioned in this durge of a pre match preview 

Yes.  Cooper is top notch, good signs defensively, losing Maresca might turn out to be a positive as Cooper will play in a more balanced  way.  Then over to foxes fan TV for some absolute toby to spout the party line.

Did I really get up just to watch this?  (Am not well atm, so...  (The bloody lurgy...))

Top here for a change 

[fazzyfox]

Specific criticism would be that we’re down 2 flair players today then go and leave out Mavididi one of our only others, also not using Skipp who has big game experience 

 

if whoever plays RW offers better protection to Justin than previous games then I’ll accept something has worked.

Soumare’s contribution to the goal at Ipswich was remarkable but just seen clips of him at Man Utd in his Sunday morning jog languid style, he just doesn’t get it.

I suggest a hot toddy or too to ease both ailments 😉

[Brooksy]

This is gonna be painful.

 

Let's hope Wesley Fofana gets cropped.

[foxfanazer]

I feel like a turkey who's just caught Bernard Matthews grinning at him

[sishades]

We really are going to get pummelled today. Sadly!

[fazzyfox]

A Madley refereeing…..thought it couldn’t get worse

[The Guvnor]

Fats out for the rest of the season.

Didn’t realise it was that serious absolutely awful news

I don't drink (alcohol)

[trugerkem]

Vardy will leave one on Fofana at some point

Well… this season could lead you to it!

[Mark]

I’m so sick of seeing Ndidi playing so far forward

[Richmondfox]

Ndidi needs to switch his brain on or be put out to pasture.

Anything that'd make me drink alcohol or coffee would be world-ending given how much I hate the taste of both.  (Though at least I like the smell of coffee...)

[sylofox]

Are they 3 up yet?

[DJ Barry Hammond]

I get that Cooper wants to defend in a 442 shape, but having Ndidi as the forward most presser just seems wrong.

 

It’d make more sense to have the far-side winger to step forward into that position and have the left/right central midfielders shift as required.

[TrickyTrevLeftPeg]

It's quite clear our midfield isn't going to pick the ball up enough or be a threat enough on the transition 

 

I know Abdul is injured but there is a severe lack of pace up top.

 

A goal for Chelsea is just a matter of time

 

It took us 1 min 40 to drop deep enough to defend our 18 yard box.

 

We are just going to consistently be clearing our lines
