bit harsh to write Silva off after one start

[Bluetintedspecs]

Excellent performance!

Merse..." I can't  say enough to praise Leicester they were excellent like the Leicester that won the league, unlucky not to win" High praise indeed

Great performance, both defensively and going forward. Just had an off day putting the ball in the net. One exception is Kaspers goal kicking. It seems to get worse game by game, and he put us under pressure several times by kicking it straight to Chelsea players.

[Koke]

Dominated them first half. Kept the ball well but our final ball was lacking. After the sending off I feared an onslaught but we were  very comfortable.

Fair enough be supportive but lets not be blind to his faults. I think hes too young atm and quite child like in his thinking to command a first team place. Some players develop quicker than others. He certainly cost us the points today. I think he should be sent out on loan if we can get a replacement in for a couple of years.

I agree with you re: different rates of development. Don't think a loan will help personally - for me the ideal scenario is a new LB in the summer with Fuchs moving on. Like I've said, I'm not his biggest fan, but I'm not going to give up on Chilly. He's got the tools, he just needs to use them.

for those that went/watched how did Dragovic look?

Was pleasantly surprised how good he looked. Maybe its a sign to come, having 2 ball playing CBs.

[peterborofox]

Would have taken 0-0 before game. 

 

We played really well but just lack the finishing to have won today 

 

Midfield had a great game. Defo right choice to play James and Ndidi. 

[Clever Fox]

I fancied us to get a draw today and in fairness it should have been a win. We were great today all over the pitch. 

Amartey I thought just shaded MOTM from Maguire. He never put a foot wrong, Kept Hazzard quite and even managed to show up in Chelsea's box.

He even managed to get across to LB to cover for Chilwell and Maguire second half. He's getting better with every game and by the time Simpson is over his injury He will have a real challenge to win his place back.

Mahrez was also excellent with his all  round game he really is turning into a world class player.  I do think it was a Penalty although the way he went down didn't do him any favors. 

 

All in all a great game to watch and things continue to look good for the future provided we keep our best players.

Really enjoyed that. Dominated with fine football. Love watching us under CP.

Shame for the kid chilwell to cost us three points. Hopefully lads will forgive his stupidity but im hoping puel has a replacement lined up. He should be a reserve

Oh, God.

You do?

In the upper tier today a group of about 20 (racist) fans starting chanting ‘Shinji Okazaki, duh duh duh’ as an Asian man came up the stairs, pointing at him. We truly have some of the most moronic fans in football.  

[fuchsntf]

Firstly...Merson gave Leicester the praises and didnt, go excessive on that Typical London media path..

 

Now then...We have had a wackling defence, even with the big names, playing or undroppabble (from some)

The last few games, even before Morgan had his injury.....they have shown more holding, steadfast ability.

Today was for me, a massive jump, relevant to our past fears.....

Every single back 5-6, stood u p today and put in top individual performances, but also a back 5 team performance.

Not just Maguire, but Drago shown we have upped our CB quality. The FBs put in a PL shift, and shown

they are/have learning . No real 10/10....but well earned  8-9/10. Today we and Puel, may have discovered

a damn good (not yet perfect)..future Backline. With rotation,possibly  not dropping in quality mainly not in skill,

showing a glint that the future is Bright.....Again expect hiccups, but this

is better than what we have seen in 2 seasons...James upped his potential, Ndidi...he can do it...!! In top games

From The Times

 

Fantastic.

[Tielemans63]

This too, from the Observer 

 

That's quite a stat.

[Guest ttfn]

Great team performance and obviously a few good individual ones but I thought Mahrez was absolutely outstanding today. He’s in the sort of form he was in back in November/December 2015.

[Foxxed]

Slowly closing in on the mighty mighty Burnley.

 

A very good performance against a poor Chelsea.

 

Another red but promising to see will pulled together.

 

Nice to see Puel continuing to prove our fans wrong!

If we play like this every week we’d be pushing for a European spot!

Yeah, but we don't.

Indeed - we’re running out of top 6 teams to play well against !

[roblcfc84]

Superb today. Best first half I've seen in ages! 

 

Red was very harsh! Player comes from behind chilwell, he's going for the ball.

Not sure if there's sarcasm in your response, but, yes, we seem to do well against the "bigger" clubs but falter and seem unsure against the likes of Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Brighton, Stoke, Everton et al.

It was a shocker from the ref for me, but seemed like he was itching to send off one of our players
