Brendan Rodgers can be so annoying sometimes. You are a goal up you are enjoying good possession what do you do? You take off your most prolific striker honestly!

Did you watch the game? Iheanacho was almost playing as a midfielder at a point. Dropped too deep, when time came for counters, he was too far behind. Poor first touch, poor hold up play. Chelsea kept winning the ball back from him with his back to goal.

He also felt burnt out at a point. He should have played further forward, run into spaces etc.

Again removing nacho was just juvenile, Leicester will just be defending from the back instead of pressing from the front like they were doing...

Stupid change again..

Problem was, Nacho wasn't pressing. That was why Rodgers brought in Maddison. No press, no counter, no hold up play. It was like Rodgers gave him instructions to stay back and contribute in build up play which limited his game play.

Ndidi didn't start well, it felt like he was overrun by Kante, but we could all see how he grew into the game and dominated the misfield in the second half.

Rodgers just seem to never be fully convinced with Nacho. Its like Pep vs Toure.

I don't like that it reoccurs, and even in the face of same scenario with Vardy on poor games, yet he leaves Vardy on. Smh.

Vardy was poor, missed too many chances today, but the difference between him and Nacho today was he didn't burn out. He also pressed more, and his speed threat kept Silva back, stopping Chelsea from completely bringing everyone out for the attack.

I hope you know the last three seasons exclude this current season (20/21).

Also, the William Hill stats run from a timeline of 2016/2017 till date and also 2017/2018 till date at various points in that thread.

Kante has actually played DM almost just as much as he's played CM for the last 3 seasons between 2017/2018 and 2019/2020.

In 2016/2017, Kante played all season as DM while Ndidi arrived in January and still went on to top defensive stats from then on. The William Hill stats thread (with Data from Opta) states so. Infact it is from January 2017 that the Opta data begin referring to concerning Ndidi's defensive actions stats compared to Kante that had a full 16/17 season.

So I should actually be talking about the last 3.5 seasons (from the point Ndidi met Kante in the EPL) and not the last three seasons sef. Infact, I retract and make correction on my statement. It is not last 3 seasons but last 3.5 seasons excluding the current EPL season.

This season alone, Kante has played DM 19 times and CM, 10 times.


The full breakdown:

16/17 season - 35 games as DM

17/18 season - 33 games as DM, 1 game as CM.

18/19 season - 36 games as CM.

19/20 season - 11 games as DM, 11 games as CM.

20/21 season - 19 games as DM, 10 games as CM.

So there is room for comparison.



The bolded is the reason it’s unfair to compare the duo because one played fully as a DMF while the other played both CM and DMF in the last 3.5 seasons.

Even at his former club, he played as a CM mostly.

no different to how he played in the league matches against Crystal Palace in the first half Southampton away and Newcastle at home but he still scored or assisted. I have no issue with him being taken off but they didn't even give him a few more minutes to see if he would have scored. It's not as if Jamie Vardy and perez were threatening the opposition themselves

Haters everywhere, all of una want make Leicester beat Chelsea today but God no go free for una

It is a very good thing Chelsea lost today because loosing the UEFA finals will be disastrous.

Tuchel should learn his lesson and make amends.

I didn’t see the first half but I noticed Jorginho caused us the game against Arsenal and in today’s match.

He always gave away the ball easily and his passes are wayward.

Sometimes, he lost concentration in both matches.

Leicester city noticed these lapses and continued to press him to force him make mistakes.

He was supposed to press the goal scorer immediately he got the ball but he was asking another player to come out to cover the ball.

Kanté will never do such.

Anyway, UEFA is the ultimate. Top 4 and FA cup to me are bonuses.

Over a dozen list and the same same style of triple forwards the size of the Midfield. I expect Onuachu to start though.

Well, I don’t have problem with the forwards he called.
