Prem stuff 14/15

Two games played, two clean sheets for Big Linguistic Phil. What a player.

Yes! Time for more Cesc torture

Qwiss

Leicester look ok but theyll concede and then Chelsea will box them out.

Klaus

Right, I've watched 27 minutes of this bullshit. Not a second more. Horrendous football in both directions. Mourinho is getting outcountered by a Leicester that would have been 2-0 up if they were a real Premier League side.

Qwiss

Chelsea haven't had a decent chance yet. A smarter team than Leicester would certainly be ahead. Oscar and Cesc are tripping up over each other.

Giroud>Costa

Qwiss

Chelsea's midfield is wide open. Can't see Mourinho leaving Crsc in there too often.

A lot of people underestimate how tough it's playing against physical, packed defences in the Premiership. A lot of forwards in mid table teams excel when given space when better teams attack them but it is way harder being a forward for a top team irrespective of the supply line.

This is what I was trying to say this week in response to the whole "with our supply behind him" arguments. People assume getting any old pace merchant would work with Ozil but you need someone who can operate in very little space.

Is Costa being well coralled by the Leicester defence?

Qwiss

Not especially. He's been poor with his shooting mostly.

Chelsea are being very speculative though. Not creating real chances.

Lacking sharpness, too much short passing going on?

Qwiss

Chelsea have come out with a bit more intensity this half.

y va marquer

Radio commentary says they're "moving quicker" and passing more sharply.

Hazard wasn't in it, Oscar and Fabregas not on the same wavelength, Shurrle just running, Matic poor in possession. All disjointed. Looking much better now though. Getting it wide more, Hazards woken up.

Qwiss

Leicester getting chances on the counter. The longer this stays 0-0 the more chance they score. If Chelsea score first Leicester are done.

y va marquer

Yep, sounds like Leicester are really under the kosh now.

dreamlord

How attacking is Ivanovic? Almost scored twice now.

y va marquer

Nugent loses out on a one on one with Courtois?
Damn, they've got to be taking those rare chances

Qwiss

Leicester have had the better chances. Curtois just saved Chelsea and Nugent still should've scored.
