Chelsea vs Leicester (PL) 23/08/14 KO 15:00 BST

[Scott Harris]

Poor first half, very good second half. Ivanovic, Hazard, Oscar and Fabregas stepped it up and we were in complete control.

Ivanovic is my MOTM, he was brilliant in that second half, link up play was great and he was a threat on goal throughout.

 

[1905.]

Get in

 

[gazza]

good second half, but sorry to say drogba is not the back up striker we need,if costa gets injured we are in trouble

 

[charierre]

Far more purpose to our game second half, when we move the ball around quickly few teams will live with us. Great half from Ivan and good saves at crucial times by Courtois.

 

[Paul70]

Got there in the end.

 

[Jamieblue]

Brana desered MOTM. Good to have a striker who is takes his chances and Courtois looks very solid already. Happy days! Reckon Leicester will have a decent season, there's a good shape to their team.

 

[AlwaysRight]

Took a bit of a risk searching for that first goal leaving us open at the back, but pretty commanding second half overall considering Leicester held us at bay fairly comfortably in the first.

Nice to see Hazard get off the mark, and Costa again poaching a goal! Been a long time since we had a forward who was in the right place at the right time!

 

[The Brit]

Happy days, two wins out of two and in kind of games we dropped points in last season

 

[Nick05]

Special mention to Courtois for that fantastic save. Game could've been a lot different had they scored with that chance.

 

[Gem]

I'm constantly calling for Branna to be dropped. Fail me. 

 

[comtrend]

I'm impressed with Ivanovic decision making in the final third these last two games. Seems like Mourinho has gotten through to him about those hopeful hard crosses he did last season and made him look at whats in the box and around him. I think MoM is between him and Courtois today.

 

[bazzablue]

Poor first half but thank God for the man octopus that is Courtios. Have to say Didier looks off the pace but that's to be expected.

Hi Guys, thought you had all the ingredients of champions today. Despite us giving a good go I thought we never had the quality to seriously trouble you, I was disappointed with how we conceded the goals but hey, we've only lost 2-0 to the would be champions, others (Arsenal) will suffer much worse this season. Despite the result I enjoyed my day, always do here, hospitality is top notch, pitch isn't bad either .

Anyway enjoy your evening and the rest of the season, hopefully come May you'll be lifting the trophy and we will be watching on as a premier league team....hopefully.

Can't get my head round the signing, pray we get a decent goal poacher before the window closes. Fans are rightfully excited about having a legend back but come crunch time I just don't see him scoring.

 

[Les-tah]

Well done. Deserved the result on your 2nd half performance. Enjoyed the game though and think we'll stay up

 

[Cam]

I'm constantly calling for Branna to be dropped. Fail me. 

If we can shift Torres, we have a ready made 3rd striker.

Thanks for the nice words, thought you were very good today, especially Schemical...play like how you have so far and you'll comfortable be at least in the top half of the table.

[Spiller86]

Amusing side note to the game, just saw the match stats on whoscored: Fabregas is credited with an assist for the Hazard goal (what?) yet Ivan isn't credited with one for Costa's. Says a lot about football statistics right there.

 

[Gem]

That's cool coz Fabregas is in my FF and Branna isn't, don't go correcting them Spiller I got good points!
