I guess City can be bothered to score another.

Totally expected City to score a 2nd and put this to rest and they did. Even a subdued City is far better than where we are right now. Maresca has his work cut out.

Poor. We’ve been pretty disorganized since the second round of subs. 

Don’t close down. Breezed thru our midfield. 

Pretty disappointed by what I’ve seen today. Haven’t really been a threat. 

Got to save that

Looked a shadow of the team we were once we took Lavia off, well done Maresca. Enzo squared both useless. 

Kovacic better than our midfield and yet everyone thought we upgraded with paying gazillions, what a boring opening match this has been...

Sanchez is rubbish

City are just cruising........don't you see the issue with that? That is why we are so sh*t. This is easy for City, we haven't even tested them. Nothing like the 4-4 last season.

I see it, believe me. Still think we’ve been decent actually, given our chaotic changes to personnel. 
 

Eh, not as bad of a start as I was expecting to be honest. Pretty hopeful for the season.

Terrible all the way. Caicedo and Enzo being left in the dust. Colwill backing off and what the hell is that positioning Sanchez?? Colwill rightly fuming as Kovacic has one spot to hit in that goal.

Fofana passes it straight to kova - f**king awful

That wasn't Fofana's fault. He was put in a horrible position because we were messing around at the back. Then both Caicedo and Enzo shirked out of challenges

c**t couldn’t score in years for us but against us, easy peasy… Sanchez is sh*te, I don’t know why we’ve went back to him, no excuse for not saving that.

Men vs boys

That’s criminal from Sanchez. Routine save. We’re in for a really dull and disappointing season from this showing. 

Fofana fked up clearing it to kovacic

Sanchez fking sh*t keeper 

 

Atleast we scored goals under poch 

We are going to need to address this Enzo situation sooner rather than later. He offers absolutely nothing in this role and he's probably not as good as Lavia or Caicedo deep. 

Any of you taking positives from that, give your head a wobble. Your standards are on the floor. The Bridge is dead silent, the club feels lifeless and boring, and this is the type of football we have to put up with for yet another season. We are supposed to be one of the top clubs in Premier League football, we're at home, and we haven't even created a genuine chance on goal. It's been sh*t.

Gallagher would have been far more useful this game than Enzo...

Didn’t take the goalkeeper position seriously enough so this is what you get.

Boehlys left the building

Goodness me. 2-3 injuries - hopefully just cramps for a couple. No real goal threat. 

Lots to work on. Gotta to figure out the attacking phase quickly.

I get that - but passing it to kova wasn't the answer!

Just put it in row z

We've created nothing. We could lose a lot of games 1-0 from what I've seen. 

Maresca’s subs completely nullified everything we had going, even if ‘everything’ wasn’t that much.

Get used to this with the yes man that failed in 14 games at Parma.

Leicester fan here in peace (Chelsea have been my 2nd team since the 90s) 

I think given more time, EM with the quality Chelsea have may work out but fans will have to be patient with the football played.

Like at LCFC, it could get very pedestrian, rigid and easy to get caught out of position, but some of that might be due to lesser quality players. 

Our striker was a passenger most games, almost a back to goal 10 than a 9.

Eventually all the championship teams figured us out, worryingly then EM had no real plan b,c etc, leading to the player only meeting where EMs way was basically dumped (EM was miffed post match a few times after this, didn't matter we starting winning again, he was down on our style.

Ps subs *cough cough* best left as distant memory lol
