Really pleased with today's performance. Eden finally looked like he could be bothered, granted it was against an awful oposition. Glad that we were able to bring Traore on but can't fathom why both Matic and Oscar were brought on when RLC could have gotten minutes. When our defense is healthy I hope that Rahman continues to get a continued run of games because we need to decide whether or not he's the answer at left back. I really hope that some of the younger guys can continue to get minutes in the league as we don't have a shot to finish top 4. Unlucky to draw Everton on the road but if we put them away we stand a very good chance in this competition.

Two good wins against dreadful opposition but confidence boosters. The Hazard of last year is nowhere to be seen although he looked more involved for once and Rahman is NOT our left back answer. He was all over the place in the first half playing as an attacking half back and then 'trots' back putting pressure on the other three in defence.

Ake will be back in June, so we will have two natural left backs. I don't see reason to worry.

I really never understood why Ake went out on loan. He was getting important minutes in the PL. One must assume Hiddink sees the same issue with Loftus-Cheek not bringing him on. He needs exposure but I agree with Mourinho he does not put a shift in.

Mourinho though that Ake needs more experience, so he sent him to Watford. Personally I would give him playing time at Chelsea.

Had anyone been looking closely at Kante? Would he be of any interest to Chelsea?

He has been mentioned on here and on most of the so called top teams sites. Been Leicesters best player this year along with mahrez.
