I think perosnally thats not thier game on the ball and off the ball "roughing up" requires a ref to allow it. from set piece the rules are clear.. no holding.... so how precisely are they going to rough anyone up. thats not kante's game. he is an interception beast and will be mopping up the positions where firmino cut leicester to ribbons in. He doesn't foul to do it. he doesn't let the ball get there. then he passes it.... willian and hazard are fast and will play wide preventing players like milner and clyne having the freedom to get lost up the pitch. I don't by this physical stuff. I think they will press hard and not give us space but that is not a roughing up.. when every touch is a foul then thats roughing up. its not the mourinho ere any more When we play utd come tell me about the dirt and snide tactics.. i'm sure then it will be true.
Costa will leave his foot in to attempt to injure at least 2 of our players, and the ref will let it go Fabregas is also a dirty **** and might put in a horror challenge "too early in the game to send him off"
Fabregas won't be starting the game, so there's a flaw in your logic there. As he's not started for them in the League this season.
Unless the 'horror challenge too early in the game' is on the 4th official or a ball boy I reckon you 'might' be talking out yer arse
Our main vulnerability is from ourselves. Hopefully Chelsea at home will be a lot stronger than Leicester and let us **** about with less of the ball.
Good luck making that one stick. It's always been illegal, but it's never stopped anyone before. An instruction to clamp down on it won't give the ref eyes in the back of his head - or the ability to get every decision right.
Sometime referees are too scared to enforce the rules especially where the offender is the home team.
luiz is hilarious o nthe ball.. first game back so I would press very hard on him in particular and see what he coughs up.
