Abraham back for them. So the only match he missed was a match we wanted them to win, great.

Konsa deserves to retain his place and I like the Nakamba/Luiz switch.

So our Dean did Frank 3 times last season but not tonight as Frank now has about 5x better players.

We'll need McGinn fully at the races tonight for us to come away with anything.

Wesley needs to do more than run around with no chance of actually getting the ball, maybe scoring a goal or two?

I'm sure he's a smashing bloke, and I know his time with us was insignificant, but I wouldn't mind a little nod in our direction inbetween the ra ra chelseaing. I certainly supported him to the hilt when he trotted out for us.

I've said this before. Villa player "doubtful" = won't play. Opposition player "doubtful" = will definitely play and, most likely, score.

Look a bit too open in midfield.  I would play Douglas and Marvellous in away games like this, with one of McGinn or Hourihane in front of them.  The latter in particular just looks so slow playing against this level of opposition.

Great cross by Elmo for the goal

Has been very good in first half . Our best along with Mings.

We gave them far too much respect early on and only started playing after they scored. Great team goal, Grealish key really , has got us back in the game. McGinn and Nakamba have picked up a lot last 15 mins turning midfield into a battle.

Konsa was dreadful for their goal. Hourihane has been average, almost a very costly possession on edge of their box before half time. Before Trez goal, I would have said we were playing with nine men but he gets into the box and has scored again. Wes really offers nothing at all.

Great chance for us here, they are quite nervy and inexperienced. Luiz is an option now that the game is opening up.

Why the fuck do we play so scared so frequently?

We've played very well in the last two games. Chelsea are just better, it tends to happen at this level.

We need to have our first 11 out all the time in this league to look really good, blow to lose Gullibert and AEG but that's what happens at this time of the year.

In Wesley we’ve acquired the only twenty something Brazilian male on the planet with no discernible football ability.

He is utter, utter, utter shite.

Come on Wes, if you can't score after that....
Title: Re: Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread
Post by: SoccerHQ on December 04, 2019, 09:07:02 PM
I’m watching Willian and thinking why couldn’t we have got a Brazilian that actually played like a Brazilian? Like when we got Cuellar who was the least technical player to come from Spain ever at a time when Spain were rolling great ones off a conveyor belt dominating world football.

Willian was playing in CL for years for Shakthar Donestk and had Brazil caps when Chelsea signed him in 2013. Been a great player for them.

As much as our young player signing policy is admirable and working eventually we'll have to sign an experienced international or two if we want to make a bigger leap up the lead.

Anyway Heaton been MOTM by a mile, great save onto the post from Willian FK.

Imagine being as fortunate as Wesley in gainful employment. If I was as bad at a job which really, let's be honest, has an incredibly narrow spec and set of criteria, I'd expect to be pulled into a meeting and handed my marching orders.

Wesley, however, doesn't even get subbed. Ever. Baffling.
