Is Chelsea’s form against the top 6 just down to lampards management?

What should have been a season of hope for a developing team is turning into a bit of a nightmare.

Doesn’t help when you start throwing cash around like a drunken sailor buying names.

History has proved chopping and changing sides from game to game doesn’t help.

A case of too many players to choose from for an inexperienced manager?

Seems to me like he needs to decide his best team, play it and move those on he doesn’t fancy

in fairness I think it’s a combination of injuries,playing players out of position, the signings not settling and him not having a settled way of playing.
 
Great time to be following Leicester. The difference to when we won the league is that this team looks like they can compete for a few years with a number of good young players.

So far we have managed to replace players that have moved on, eg Ndidi for Kante, Tielemans for Drinkwater, Soyunchu or Fofana for Maguire, Castagne for Chilwell, and even Maddison for Mahrez, and have much greater strength in depth. We will struggle to replace Vardy when the time comes, but you never know we may unearth a gem from somewhere.

Hoping we can keep it going and secure a top four spot at the end of the season.

I mentioned yesterday a cheeky quid on Leicester wouldn’t be a bad idea, I can see Leicester in the top four til mid April. The run in is very tough. ESP in May. Be nice to see Leicester’s ” one off” be a two off should City not do it. That aside Ave seen Vity win a few titles. Leicester’s firmly remains my fave as a neutral.
 
Can't believe we are still yet to be awarded a pen

Soucek taken out In box

They claim VAR is now for clear and obvious errors dispute ignoring that most of the season

Then said afters if a pen was given it wouldn't be overturned

Just not enough to overturn the ref

What a load of tosh

Come on, be happy. Is it possible for a hammer to be happy? Not only no relegation battle this year but you are comfortably up the other end. You have a stable manager, all is good surely?

Very happy just still poor officials not fit to officiate the game is frustrating

Plus 19 games into the season and not one pen given is getting stupid now

Change your away shirts to red ?

Joking aside we have penalties and cannot put them away. There still looking for Sterling’s ball from last week ?

It was only 2 seasons back 4 teams didn’t get any in the season (incl West Ham)

Good link here to the last 10 seasons and who got pens.

There's something wrong with their historical data though, unless I'm reading it wrong. Noticed it last week after I posted the same link. 18/19 in the first chart it says 103 penalties. Then scroll down to the breakdown by club and the total is only 31, plus Leeds are in the table as well?? Dunno what they've done there. I think that might be the only table that's wrong to be fair.
 
Very rarely drop in here but I thought I'd take a look at all the comments regarding the mighty foxes going top; there are just two posts. o_O
Lots of mentions for Chelsea and Lampard, however, who took a hell of a beating.

Didn't realise that football fans were so one dimensional in their views, if it's not a team/player/manager they know about then it's not happening. ;)

Maddison is a quality player who has more to his game than Mahrez

I think it tends to be the more controversial topics that get more talk time. The way Chelsea are playing at the minute, with the amount they have spent and the usual cycle of managers for me is a bigger talking point.

Leicester have shown over the last 2 seasons that they are a quality outfit and for me its not a great surprise that they are right up there in the table. I'm not sure there are many neutrals who dont like this Leicester side.

Every half decent team has been top at one time or another this season. Every two weeks it's someone else. Next it will Man City anyway.

Some fans ? one post was mine. I was on a City fan page and you were asked for your three fave titles. I put down AGUEROOOOOO for the first, Centurions for the second and Leicester for the third. Flippin eck it kicked off ?

Come what May I still think this season is a good un.

They have been shocking to watch in some earlier games though.
I like watching them ,they are a quality outfit when in form like atm.
As Tashy said 40/1 to win that’s very generous. Has that changed now?
