Chelsea drew 2-2 with Leicester today in a tough fought game that swung back and forth.
The Blues were actually very bright for long periods, but also looked as defensively shaky as ever. In the end, despite creating a host of early chances, Chelsea’s only goals came from set pieces, with Antonio Rudiger rising twice to head his team into the lead.
Twitter was full of hot takes after the game. We’ve got 2 weeks to mull this over people, don’t overreact.
The decision to play Willy didn’t look like a great one as he was caught scrambling for the second goal. Equally Pedro didn’t do much to justify his inclusion over Willian. It will be interesting to see whether the manager goes back on those calls over the next couple of weeks.

James:
Reece James doesn't cross the ball. He sends it by first class courier service *direct* to the intended recipient's door.

Christensen:
Two silly mistakes by Christensen this half and they should have scored two goals.
And he’s apparently our best CB? #CFC #LEICHE— Vialli's Chelsea FC (@VialliChelseaFC) February 1, 2020
Azpilicueta:
Azpilicueta playing like he’s got weights on his ankles.

Kante:
Is it just me or has Kante been extremely solid today and looks so much more like himself?

Bit of reverse psychology here – Abraham is still on the pitch because…#CFC #LEICHE

Pedro:
Lampard has put Pedro in the team for his finishing, not working out so far. Hasn't been able to get a shot away or get on the end of any of Reece James' superb crosses.
