Boos at half time sums up the game.

We're haunted not to be losing.

On target too. Starting to play a bit better. Might be hope yet

the only consolation is we didnt leave a goal in.

Leicester might tire out but we've played a lot of football with this core of players and they look tired.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 4:48pm

We really need to whip Cesc ro Bakayoko and bring on Pedro or willian and go 343.

Im going to keep moaning about 352 until its changed, its a poisonous formation for this side.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 4:50pm

Tire them out was the plan and leave them get over ten shots on target.
Hope a good talking too and they put in a good half.
Can't see any subs coming on and changing the game, unless the formation changes.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 4:52pm

He wont change the formation.

He much be watching a different game to everyone else, the 3 in CM are getting countered on too often so it cant be to pack the midfield area.

We're seriously struggling for goals and hes playing 2 woefully off form players up top, he needs to take his head out of his arse and go back to 343 or hope we get lucky today and paper over the cracks for a weekend.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 4:56pm

Not as bad as Norwich game but teams figure out formations. Without a striker or midfielder scoring for fun going to be hard to win.
Unless he is trying to get Chelsea to buy a striker, why keep doing the same thing.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 4:57pm

Highlights now we will see maybe a Chelsea attack

I think he is doing exactly that, he's done it before. Not very subtle and very frustrating to see.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:00pm

I'd rather we finished 17th than sign Andy Carroll though, if thats the alternative.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:04pm

No subs, accepting the draw.

Agree no more injury prone strikers. Or one season wonders.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:07pm

Our 3 man CM are so deep its mad.

Nowhere near the front 2 who are playing so bad without support.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:09pm

Bakayoko has been an unmitigated disaster.

Weve spent about 70m on Drinkwater and Bakayoko and theyre both brutal.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:10pm

Passing has been shocking today as more possession lost. 7 more minutes to a sub.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:11pm

All Leicester this half, 9mins and we've not got the ball yet

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:13pm

This is disgraceful

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:15pm

Willian and Cesc on, Hazard and Cesc off.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:15pm

Double sub. What this is a change from the script.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:16pm

Hazard can f**k off to Madrid after that display.

Was pathetic.

RichT · 13-01-2018 5:17pm

5 attempts at goal for Chelsea compared to Leicesters 14 in an hour :mad:

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:17pm

Worst game we've played this season, hands down.

Norwich was much worse. But for giving any chances could be.
Also had the arsenal game and loads of one on ones missed.

Schwanz · 13-01-2018 5:20pm

Watching here on NBC.

Hard to believe that Chelsea are somehow drawing this isn't it?

LightningBlue · 13-01-2018 5:22pm

Willian's pace and energy have made a difference since coming on. Change of shape to 3-4-3 has helped too.

Hazard's been awful the last 3-4 games. Fitness doesn't seem to be there given he missed pre-season.

Ya but this is the first team and theyre being dominated.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:26pm

Theres a bit of luck

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:26pm

Chilwell off

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:26pm

10 men now. Should push on once Moses is okay.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:27pm

Push on now FFS

Schwanz · 13-01-2018 5:29pm

Stroke of fortune here for Chelsea - should push on now and win

They wont, we've been brutal.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:31pm

Has Pedro done anything since coming on. Looks to be more points dropped.

No hes done feck all.

Willians tried but hes wasted some seriously good free kick positions.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:33pm

Can we have Costa back

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:36pm

Oh this is bad.

2nd is there for the taking in this league and we're limping into the top 4 instead.

Disgraceful.

Lukker- · 13-01-2018 5:37pm

The team has no goals in it, but the board won't sign anyone, what can ya do.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:38pm

We deserve to lose this game, had over 20mins of 11 v 10 and we've moved the ball like a practice match, slow and with nobody in the box.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:44pm

Only way to score is from a penalty or og. Really need to refresh the striking options this window or lucky yo get 4th.

Schwanz · 13-01-2018 5:45pm

Draw would be more than Leicester deserve but Chelsea not going for it after the red card is very strange.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 5:52pm

Worst shot of the game by moses

Lukker- · 13-01-2018 5:52pm

343 or 352, it doesn't really matter same result. We have no attacking output. Shocking stuff.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 5:57pm

This Chelsea side is a shadow of last seasons team.

Its disgraceful that we've now managed 3 0-0's in a row.

What can ya say after that really, Leicester were by far the better team and if youre being played off the park by Leicester theres something seriously wrong and what is wrong is that that Italian fraud played a full strength team against Arsenal and couldn't even beat them at home.

Hes effectively worked this side in the ground and the performances, or lack thereof, is reflexting in how sh*t we're playing.

I will applaud him for taking off Hazard who was our worst player today but it was close between himself and Morata who might as well have been sitting in the stands.

Top 4 should all but be confirmed with the squad but we've been seriously s**t for weeks and weeks now and scraped through games, thats stopped now and we're getting what we deserve which is nothing.

We're better off losing to Norwich and trying to keep the score down against Barca, that way we can concentrate on the league and top 4.

Theres no hope either for Conte, hes gone at the end pf the year and he can take Hazard and Morata with him frankly.

Johann. · 13-01-2018 5:57pm

Awful, awful stuff. We were lucky to have not conceded. Three 0-0 in a row. Just not good enough. Keep getting results like that and you can see the two boys putting off their contract extensions.

Garzorico · 13-01-2018 5:58pm

Ditch the 3 central midfielders. We are very slow to move the ball. Probably need to drop Fabregas too as he’s too slow against a mobile midfield.

Flog Hazard (and Courtios for that matter €€€€) to Real in the summer. No brainer.

Hazard can do one, take what we can get for him now and be done with him.

All those stupid flicks and pop off passes dont work and he doesnt score enough goals.

We're actually better off with Andy Carroll if our main tactic is to give it to the severely limited WBs and theyre slinging in terrible crosses because Morata wins f**k all and cant keep hold of the ball to save his life.

Lukker- · 13-01-2018 6:02pm

I think Conte wants a decent LB most of all so we can play 4 ATB. Alonso can't play LB in a 4 man system well, Moses also probably lacks the tactical awareness. It means when we get bogged down in games like this, we can only switch between 2 very similar systems. Teams don't have to change the way they setup against us when we switch from 352 to 343 so we don't get the chaos of switching mid system. We should be doing better, but we should also back the man a bit. Every one of our transfers seemed to be almost a last minute panic buy.

GavRedKing · 13-01-2018 6:03pm

One thing that might save Hazard going to Real is that Zidane looks to be off.

Real losing again.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 6:03pm

Bit harsh on hazard. What is the deal with playing midfield that are muck for a few games. It was matic last season.
Really hope some players can stand out against Norwich and get in the team.

Tubbs4 · 13-01-2018 6:06pm

Real lost again so if hazard sold it be for over 120 million. buy a nice few strikers.
