Chelsea v Leicester City (PL) Sat 22nd Dec 15:00 UK

Had we got a real striker, we would have been in front ! But clearly, the lack of it penalizes us ... Despite some good and even very good build up. But I still see a 2 0 win for us. UTC !!!!

Better in the last 10 minutes of the half, but throughout most of it, we were too slow. Pedro and Willian are off their game and it's looking like we are looking for Hazard to bail us out again. David Luiz, a CB, looks like our most creative player at the moment.

Some halftime thoughts

1. The back 4 are rock solid 

2. Most of the team looks way too comfortable. A group unafraid of losing their place on the first XI. There's so little urgency. 

3. Great save by Kepa

4. Is a back pass required after every forward pass?

Commentator is such a moron. He just said was that tackle any worse than Hazard's a second ago.......no, but it was a deliberate foul to stop us countering, Hazard's was just mistimed.

I literally screamed at the tele it was in a counter you c**t

Never bought into the hype, he has always been average; just a workhorse.

Conte knew how to use him.........and he was decent for some time but its clear as day he is done for. Why sarii loves him so much is scary......Cho is no worse......

Criminal, absolutely criminal that Willian gets in to this team on current form, he’s slipping something in to Sarri’s fags. No wonder we can’t score when chances are falling to him inside the area and he can barely work the keeper for f**ks sake.

Sarii really needs to up his game here.......you dont perform you are out. Look what emery done to ozil.

We were far too shy to attack for the opening 35, Leicester have sat on the edge of their box and hoofed clear all half.

Really good movement from the front 3 again, but Hazard and Willian both missing really good chances for the opener.

Kante's been excellent, and Luiz has dictated play really well, just need to start the second half with the intensity we ended the first.

Not sure who I'd take off on the hour but I'd like to see Loftus Cheek sooner or later, on the centre not on a wing. I personally don't see the need for Jorginho in this one, but I'd be stunned if Kante or Kovacic moved into that position.

Hope to see this second half, if it stays the same can't see us scoring.

               Kepa
Azpi - Rudi - Luiz - Alonso
     Kante - Jorginho
 Pedro            Hazard
         RLC
              Giroud

It's the same story. Little ideas and  nobody willing to take responsibility. Hazard should have scored but hit the bar. Willian has been so so. Pedro better. The ref doesn't book Leicester for fouling Hazard every minute. All in all this looks like a tough game ahead.

Exactly, nothing against Willian personally, but he’s not playing anyway near how he can play and therefore surely has to be dropped.

Leicester are just defending, it was a pretty boring first half. Our final 5 minutes were the best because we looked how to score with few shots. 

This game can turn to the opponent's side, we have to score the opening goal. Players like Pedro, Hazard and Willian have to shoot much more, also take some long-distance shot. 

Barkley can actually score these goals, RLC can dribble and create chances. We will have to look for options, Giroud could be as well.

Popped in at half time.  Just as I expected.  One minute and 17 seconds into the match before some w**ker posted his first cut-and-paste criticism of Willian.  Then the whole half is just full of Willy-whingeing.  

Typical.
