Title: Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread
Post by: Toronto Villa on May 23, 2021, 03:00:59 PM
With some sadness the season draws to an end. It marks one of the oddest, most difficult, yet in many ways most rewarding chapters of our long history. By August football will likely look like it usually has with grounds packed again. But the past 12+ months has been hard on everyone, aside from the game we love. Hopefully we close this season with an optimistic eye to all things Villa but to everyone personally and professionally. To everyone and your families have a wonderful last game, and a positive path in your lives moving forward.

Unchanged as expected. Davis back on the bench.

Liking no Kante for them, at his best it's like an extra player in midfield for them just like Milner used to be for us.

Think we can get ratting and really disrupt the Jorginho-Kovacic combination there.

Playing a 3-5-2 by looks of it, Werner and Pulisic upfront so need to make sure we don't park the back 4 too high up the pitch.

Chelsea: Mendy, James, Thiago Silva, Rudiger, Azpilicueta, Kovacic, Jorginho, Chilwell, Pulisic, Mount, Werner.

At least they can only use 3 subs this time, 5 killed us last season as I remember they put on Giroud and Pulisic on the hour mark and both scored within about 5 minutes of that.

We grew into that after basically just giving them the ball for first 20 minutes.

Just checkec back to last season's fixture and Hause scored in 43rd minute to put us 1 up but game turned when they put on some quality subs on the hour mark, we did nothing and they scored twice in five minutes.

Tuchel will do the same so really hope DS just dosen't expect us to hold out playing as we are, Luiz is an obvious sub early second half.

Chris Wilder reports for the BBC:

"Well worked free-kick, came round the back and pulled it to the edge of the box, Matt Targett bounced it into the ground and it's gone right in the top corner!"

Apart from the fact that it was a corner, and it was a different player, those are some top observational skills there.

Should've been since about the 3rd minute, the challenge on McGinn was easily the worst foul in the half but the ref completely missed it.

Will be one of those instances where he gets booked in 89th minute for time wasting or something and you wonder how he hasn't had a yellow at any point before.

Both of their CMs on yellow also means none of them can touch SJM when he starts motoring through them.

I fancy our chances at holding out and at least not losing this one compared to last year when it was generally accepted we'd lose even if 1 up with about ten minutes left v these type of team. The backline is working nicely again, Ez is brilliant on a one v one situation.

He was fine for last 25 minutes on Wednesday. Infact take off AEG and you can push him further forward with Nakamba still the deepest CM to really strangle life out of game centrally.

He's also one of the few we have outside Jack in the squad that actually makes good decisions in when to pass when approaching the box on counter, hit a nice cutback to I think Ollie late on in the game v Spurs.

Hold on with the win and we'd only actually finish 12 points off top 4 as it stands so not like we're 30 points off that as usual and many teams have quickly eroded that sort of points difference in previous seasons.

Don't think it's realistic next season mind but being in serious contention for 7th/8th should be realistic target, currently will finish just 5 points off 7th.

Depends. Chelsea only have Gilmour on bench who can play CM, rest are defenders, wide attackers and Giroud unless they just sit Mount in there.

Pretty ballsy for him just to unload central midfield as we possibly bring on more CMs.

Latest kicking off in second half so Chelsea will know exactly what they need to do going into injury time so will be very frantic last few minutes.

Won about 6 of the last 7.

Shows the scale of the task ahead in that they've largely had a terrible season yet will finish on 61 points.

Not soft at all, clearly swung out at him and made contact with his face, that's always a red card.

Absolutely, as would most players. The Chelsea player should have been too experienced to get suckered in like that.

Been impressed with Nakamba. Offers more than Luiz going from the last couple of games.

If you’d have told me we’d finish a place ahead of Newcastle Id have been worried, two ahead of the tatters I’d be happy.

Well done Villa

I love Nakamba. His tenacity and determination in centre mid improves us. I hope that there's no talk of letting him go.

Even if we buy a top centre midfielder we should definitely keep Marvellous.
