Yeah it's definitely not worked, we've not looked defensively sound and not done anywhere near enough in attack. Looked good on paper and I can understand why Ranieri did it but it's not worked simple as that. Don't think we'll be seeing this again.

I've a feeling we will see it again unfortunately. I've a feeling Ranieri wants to prioritise defence over attack and play for the point

why didn't Leicester try and put Kante off his game,
oh u couldnt be assed ok

I don't think he'll persist with it after the performance today, it's not daft. We'll probably see three in the middle but not at the back.

This is getting embarrassing now. What on earth was this supposed to achieve?

I stuck up for CR big time against Boro because I could see the logic of being negative but this is ridiculous. We have made it so easy for them and no one looks comfortable

Facking dreadful 2nd half performance. That 3rd goal was a disgrace.

Ranieri needs to ask himself some questions after this. I don't care who we are playing you don't set the team up to try and get a draw at home. This is a tepid embarrassment of a performance and he's got it wrong

We played this formation when we stayed up but we played on the front foot, today we haven't. Ranieri would have expected it to work better than this bu they've looked like they don't know what they're doing because they don't. We're not closing down quick enough and that doesn't have anything to do with the formation. When we pressed in the first half we looked better but we haven't done that this half.

And Mersey let me be the first to apologise to you for sticking up for the performance against Boro. I had no idea this was now our plan for the rest of the season

He has set up for a draw CoE. He's tried to counter Chelsea whereas our strength is when we take the game to the opposition

Some really odd subs today too, think this is one to forget. It's a shame because we looked like we had something that worked.

Exactly, Chelsea just had to turn up to win today. Disgraceful tactics at home.

^^^ by playing 4-3-3

Oh I'm not disputing that I just think it was expected to go a lot better and not be so bad going forward. He won't be happy with this.

I can't help but think about the R word right now. The table doesn't lie does it?

Southampton away next, who themselves are on a bad run. Must win?

In the league I should say.

Why didn't we just contact the PL and say we didn't want to play the match? They would have chalked it up as a 3-0 loss by default and imposed some sort of small fine.

Just waiting for Ranieri to start waving his white flag from the touchline

Without a doubt. And doubtless we will set up for the draw

Ranieri urging his team to keep it at 0-3. 'Come on guys we can do this...!

As a neutral (whose other half is from Leicester), no chance of that, mate ... Not in a league containing truly awful teams like Hull, Swansea, Palace & Sunderland.

He has a habit of fearing relegation after every defeat ha ha
