Leicester v Chelsea (FA) Sun 28th June 2020 16:00 GMT

We would better off playing down the channels to tammy, get up the pitch and try from there.

The midfield 3 are losing the battle. Sloppy turnovers from Gilmour and some weak challenges from kante. 

Need to play better or we will go out.

I don't get all this Kante is not a regista bullsh*t. If I recall we had a great defensive midfielder who got the position named after him(Makalele) . He wasn't making Hollywood passes just simple passes but he was instrumental in our defence being impregnable. The problem is not kante the problem is the 2 midfielders ahead of him. Mount and especially Billy have been abysmal

We play completely different to what we did 15 years ago, Kante just isn't composed in the middle, he's even losing every 50/50 with Ndidi, just like he did when Vardy was almost in on goal. We're a side that likes to have possession, it's difficult to do that with Kante in the middle.

When we had Makelele, we also had drogba. We didnt have to play out, because we could go long to drogba. 

Also teams didnt press as high then as they do now. 

I agree mount and gilmour havent helped though.

This defence and midfield is not a good fit at all, atleast not trying to play out from the back. Leicester have an easy job pressing and forcing mistakes out of a defence that are struggling to play simple passes. Our midfield have also been very sloppy and they are loosing the duels since they lack the physical strength. Another thing I just don't understand is why are pressing Leicester in their own half with just 3-4 players, while the rest are just hanging back. Leicester is allowed to have all the room they want to cut through us by doing that.

We had Kante playing at his best in his position under Conte and for some reason, all managers after Conte trying to experiment with him in different positions. no wonder he is not performing

Well under conte we played 5 at the back

Our defenders are their own worst enemy...and are generally poor.
