I think its safe to say that Chelsea won't be getting top 4 this season and will be dumped from the CL early on.

Tielemans was really poor I thought.

Several occasions he had the chance to put someone through on goal and instead he just kept the ball and then eventually lost it.
It's like he constantly wanted to do whatever hardest thing possible was in any given scenario

Chelsea have been really fortunate that two of Leciester's main technical players Maddison and Tielsman have had relatively off days otherwise that could have been far, far worse. Play like that against the top six and most of the time you lose that game by five or six - no exaggeration.

Ridiculous amount of space between the lines for Maddison and Tielemans, Chelsea's midfield was non-existent defensively and they should have lost this game.

WHAT. A. GAME. We need to sign Maddison and his hair next season, what a talent.

Chelsea in massive trouble

They aren’t finishing top 10 if they continue this way Leicester just battered them in that second half.

Chelsea should’ve lost that. Could’ve easily been another drubbing if Leicester were as clinical as we were.

Leicester were by far the better team in the second half but they were dismal when it came to the final ball. If they're decision making was better they could've had 3 or 4.

Tieleman off day. Isn't this closer to what he delivers ? Maddison wasn't bad but way too wasteful in the final third

Need massive improvement for sure. Good first 10 minutes then ugly performance. Lampard will have to adapt.

Chelsea in the first half looked quite good, in the second half ... not so much. Thought Maddison was really good today, his decision making could do with some work though. Chelsea need to sort out what happens after HT, quickly.

Both these sides are going to finish above us, apparently.
