    Moses, RLC, Pedro & Michy - all trying. atleast one good.
    Matic + Fab is new Mikel + Lamps. You can give opposition 2+ goal head start.

    Cahill & Begovic should be shipped out with Ivan.

    Can't believe Chelsea managed to equalise the match, I hope it will continue!

    Better 2nd half. Was like we were sleeping in the 1st half.
    Another 30 mins. Great for Jose & Arsene <doh>

    On this evidence Alonso doesn't look like an upgrade over Rahman - hope he proves me wrong - if he gets any playing time.

    Conte - Good positive Subs - nice and early. Tried proper back 4 & 442 in the final 20 mins was better. Michy & Costa linked up pretty well.
    Kante - was kissed & loved by all.

    Chalobah - gave steel once he is on.
    Costa - changed the game head on.
    Eden was livewire.

    Michy looks very good.
    RLC was underwhelming.
    Pedro - was better, should get sub roles.
    Moses - was incredible from the start. He is like Willian 2.
    Fab - better up the pitch. too bad with Matic in holding position. Luiz can do that long ping ball tbh.
    Matic - Better with Chaloba and awful with Fab
    Alonso - ok but just.
    Cahill - should be used every other match. Cannot do continously, atleast with Luiz.
    Luiz - was mixed. Will get better. or will be better with JT or Ivan as CB partner.
    Dave - Getting to know his new position. He will get better at RB. What a hit for the equalizer :)
    Begovic - made Thibo look like Bufon.

    Even before the sending off - we were lot better in the 2nd half.

    Cesc has gotta be in the XI after that, surely?!

    We'd be on more than 10 points if he'd played a bigger part this season.

    Alright lads, well done on the victory last night.

    2-0 really did flatter us.


    All in all;

    Begovic - He's really poor in my book. Looked very nervous.
    Azpilicueta - I really rate him and he played well last night. Cracking goal.
    Cahill - I thought he was awful
    Luiz - I thought he played very well.
    Alonso - Meh. Didn't do much but he wasn't asked any questions by our wingers.
    Matic - Don't particularly rate him and he wasn't up to much yesterday.
    Fabregas - Anonymous in the first half but in the second and in extra time he showed his class when played higher up the field.
    Moses - Had the beating of our young left back all game.
    Loftus Cheek - He's definitely a talent. Thought he usually played a bit deeper.
    Pedro - Looks faster than he is but Simpson just wouldn't close him down and continued to back off. Died in the second half, is he not match fit?
    Batshuayi - Very impressed. Held the ball up well and is quick.

    Chalobah - Why did he feel the need to celebrate infront of our players when your second went in?
    Costa - Huffed and puffed.
    Hazard - Showed his talent with some neat touches.

    Leicester 2 Chelsea 4.....a superb game of cup football worthy of any actual cup final. The disallowed goal where David Luiz found Pedro looked OK to me. We would probably have won the game in ordinary time if that goal had been given.......but then we would have missed the brilliance of Cesc Fabregas in extra time.

    Great game, well done lads.
