Leicester 2-0 Chelsea Match Review

-


And that Ladies and gentlemen is all she wrote. Another dreadful, woeful, shambolic, rubbish and pathetic performance from Chelsea Football Club as we slip to a 2-0 defeat away at the King Power Stadium to slip to 9th in the premier league table. everything that could have got worse did get worse we were nowhere in the first half we allowed Leicester's players too much time on the ball there was no marking for both of Leicester's goals. we were slow out of the blocks in that first half Leicester were all over us and could and probably should have scored more in the first half. In the second half it was a case of damage limitations but we still didn't do enough when we had the ball and Leicester kept counter attacking us. Leicester had already secured the game so didn't have to do much and were under little pressure and played in 2nd gear and thoroughly deserved their win.

For Chelsea on the other hand thought its back to the drawing board. What's happened has Frank Lampard lost the dressing room have the players stopped playing and trying for him? Not long ago we were top of the table since then it has been a fall from grace. 2 wins in our last 7 games does not make for pretty reading. If I am Roman Abramovich do I keep Lampard on or do I pull the plug and sack him so that our season can be saved? Could a more experienced manager get a better tune out of the likes of Havertz and Werner? Deep down I'm pretty sure that Lampard will be well aware of the reality of the situation which faces him. Something he can look forward to is that Chelsea are not too far of the champions league places and spending £200 million in the summer transfer window may buy him more time however, performances such as this will not help and will only turn the heat on the Chelsea manager. 

Here are my player ratings for today's game

Mendy - 5

James - 3

Rudiger - 4

Chilwell - 3

Thiago Silva - 4

Havertz - 2

Kovacic - 4

Mount - 5

Pulisic - 4

Ziyech - 4

Hudson-Odoi - 3

Abraham - 3

Werner - 4

It's simply not good enough and as much as I love and adore Lampard as a player it is quite clear that he lacks experience to carry this team forward. The question is who is available in the UK to take this job in the wake of the Coronavirus Pandemic?

Guys let me know who you want Chelsea's next manager to be?

Tuchel's first impressions of Mason Mount and Billy Gilmour

Mason Mount and Thomas Tuchel following Chelsea's 0-0 draw with Wolves  There will have been eyebrows raised when Thomas Tuchel did not select Mason Mount in his first starting line-up however the new boss is is already seeing the enormous ability and passion that the midfielder possesses.  Tuchel painfully pointed that his team selection against Wolves may well have been the most unfair in his reign at Chelsea when you consider he only had one training session which to work with his new players.  The decision made to omit Mount , a regular starter in all but two league games up to that point and most noticeably Chelsea's main in form player was always likely to be met with raised eyebrows, however, Tuchel simply insisted that he simply chose to play experience during a difficult time. He is however, now excited to help the 22 year old midfielder flourish.  At today's press conference the German said 'I currently like what I am seeing from Mason so far, he has an amazin

There appeared to be some mixed news relating to injuries ahead of our trip to Southampton on Saturday lunchtime, with Thiago set to be ruled out of the game at St Mary's and Christian Pulisic unlikely to travel, even though others who were a doubt were expected to be available. In his pre-press match conference Thomas Tuchel reported from Cobham  through a video link, speaking before the final training session before Chelsea headed to Southampton this afternoon.  Whilst this meant that Tuchel could not be a 100 percent certain about the condition of all of his players ahead of Saturday's game, he was able to reveal that Thiago Silva would not be involved at St Mary's. Tuchel stated 'Thiago will be out of the game as he is not already.' Thiago Silva will not feature in Saturday's game against Southampton despite training with the team yesterday Thiago Silva has not featured since coming off early in Chelsea win over Tottenham at the beginning of the month.

Thomas Tuchel saw a run of five wins in a row come to an end as Chelsea drew 1-1 in today's lunchtime kick-off against Southampton, however the subject of much of Thomas Tuchel's analysis after the game was the sharpness required to score goals to win a game whilst keeping it tight defensively. Thomas Tuchel on the touchline during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at Southampton Tuchel saw his side go behind for the first time in the seven games that he has been in charge as head coach when Southampton scored on the counter attack in the first half. A penalty in the second half from Mason Mount secured a point for Chelsea. Despite Chelsea conceding their first goal scored by an opposition player under Tuchel, the German was very content with the way that his team played at St Mary's apart from Chelsea's work in and around the penalty area. Tuchel regretfully said 'we created opportunities which in the end were not opportunities'.  'We opened up a lot of space for our
