LCFC vs Chelsea - Match Thread

So the three new players are already out of the team!!!!

[foxfan92]

Fear for us today. 

 

Really think this formation invites pressure and its going to be hard just keeping the ball out our own half.

All is forgotten about Amartey's last performance by Rogers...... where's Caglar

No they aren't?

[StevieH]

Where's the width. This will be dire.

[Harry96]

Mudryk will score today 

[Tuna]

Really positive to see Evans back in the squad.

Sky have big Dan playing left wing 

He'd probably be better there tbh

[Brooksy]

Hopefully we'll have a shot on target today.

[Swarles Barkley]

When we signed Souttar, Stoke forum suggested he isn’t good in a back 3…

Would have preferred him on the bench , less likely to cost us 

[Unabomber]

Maybe big dan in goal? Due to his size?

[kingkisnorbo]

Matching a team up is the hallmark of a manager out of his depth. Bloodbath out for delivery.

Is it? A broken 36 year old. Would prefer him to Amartey yes.

Ward, Amartey, back 3 and non match fit Ricardo….

 

Yay

Think I’d rather have Amartey in goal and ward centre back

[fazzyfox]

3 CBs is one thing but Amartey over a half fit Evans, Amartey over Soyuncu, not surprised but just choosing to put a bomb scare in the back line is suicide

[Mark]

Great idea to match a team that only plays well in a back 3/5

[Collymore]

Amartey better in the games V top sides I find when it's more last ditch. 

[Ric Flair]

Amarteys in just to work Chelsea up. His performance vs Blackburn should probably have been his last ever game for Leicester but here we are.

 

His pace bails out Souttar and Faes but he has to tidy up his execution of the ball when playing out from the back, he's made so many high profile mistakes in the last few seasons.

 

He doesn't suit coming in and out of the team either, he's more reliable the more he plays so this is obviously a dilemma with him.

[winteriscoming]

Soyuncu must be absolutely dreadful for him not to get ahead of Amartey.

Don't see what choice we had today, Barnes evidently isn't fit. Had it been a back 4, we'd have your mate Dennis in 😂😂😂

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Odds on Danny Ward turning into slimmer of the week when a very saveable shot is hit in his vicinity?

[FoxesWalk]

Honestly think I’d rather Ndidi at cb than Dan now, sadly

Farewell Tetê. We barely knew ye.
