As expected
-
Why do anything else?
-
Win please Villa.
-
Chelsea: Mendy, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Christensen, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, Mount, Pulisic, Hudson-Odoi, Giroud
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Silva, Abraham, Werner, Tomori, Kovacic, Gilmour, Havertz, Emerson
-
What's the latest regarding Trezeguet please anyone?
-
6 changes for Chelsea ! Hope they're not gonna outfreshen us.
-
Come on Villa. Remember Arsenal!
-
Hamstring. Normal return early January. Villa return first week of March.

I hope Hause has big pockets today because he needs Giroud in one of them. Giroud always scores against us
-
Yes Giroud has a bloody great record of scoring against us
-
Hamstring. Normal return early January. Villa return first week of March.
2024.

6 changes for Chelsea ! Hope they're not gonna outfreshen us.
6 changes because they just got battered at Arsenal. Nothing to do with staying fresh and rotation. There is infighting at Chelsea and so Lampard who is under immense pressure is trying to shake things up yet again. Their bench cost more than our entire 20 players, and yet they don't have a consistency at the moment. Now they are good enough in terms of individual talent to change that so let's hope it isn't today.
-

Hause, Traore, El Ghazi not played many games and Konsa been out for several games so all should be fresh.Pretty sure Watkins and Mcginn on Duracell batteries so no problem there either.
-
I’ve just read that Chelsea’s bench is worth £241m.
-
That bench cost more than our entire squad. Real test this

Don't dispute any of that but the fact remains their XI is far more rested than ours. Hope our fitness levels maintain the high quality they've shown recently.
-
Both their regular CBs, Zouma and Silva, not in the starting line up.

Yup, there's goals to be had. Fancy SJM to find his shooting boots today.
-
Azpilicueta returns and he is usually a big influencer on how chelsea play these days.
-
Fat Frank looks rather stressed!
-
Amazon have already delivered the result. I don't like it so just arranging return.
-

Yep. He ain’t appy
-

Obviously buying a bench from Harrod's is not going to be cheap.
-

Can’t be ours, then. 👍
-
Giroud is a big threat with those wingers.
-
There are goals there for us looking at the Chelsea line up. We can get at them, no Zouma is a big positive. Hope we can keep our energy levels up. If so we can win this. COYL.
-
Giroud and Mount worry me.
Lampard is a prick. Hope we win. Can’t wait to see his miserable face post match.
He’s a fraud.
-
Can’t wait for the Amazon commentary. They’ll be gagging for Chelsea to win
-
I’ve just read that Chelsea’s bench is worth £241m.
COST £241m I can easily believe.
Worth £241m? Nah.
-
I notice Attwell is the referee ,always a good chance of a balls up from him,hope it is not today
-
Oh, not bloody Jim Beglin! He hates us.
-
Is that The Ego as 4th official?
Great!
-
Can anybody name the refs that *don't* hate us?
-
Come on you Villa boys!
-
Off to play a few games of Scrabble GO and set up next year's diary.
-
That bench
-
Come on me babbies
-
Come on you villa boys. Not sure we’ll get a result today, but just give them a go...
-
Come on boys, let's do these cockney sparrers!
-
Jack need to drive at jorginho and christensen all day.
-
Traoré is looking lively. B2B at the moment.
-
Come on boys, let's do these cockney sparrers!
Erm, Cockneys are East End, Chelsea are West End
-
Why have we changed strip?
-

Girls

I’ve never enjoyed us playing at Stamford bridge
-
I’ve never enjoyed us playing at Stamford bridge
Today is the loudest its been in ages.
-
Good start, threatening.
-
Better team so far. Come on Villa.
-
Oh, not bloody Jim Beglin! He hates us.
Thought the same when I heard his voice. Just spouts clichés and always seems very negative.
-
Ian Darke is awful.
-
I see the ref has decided that getting kicked from behind isn't a foul anymore.
-
Let off
-
FFS Mings!
-
Grealish got lucky there. Could have been 1-0 to them
-
Mason Mount's hair - he wouldn't look out of place in the Leningrad Cowboys.
-
How can we Liverpool Beglin, say Jack sometimes makes no attempt to stay in his feet when Salah and Mane are diving constantly. Bet he doesn't call them out - I expect they're "clever"
-
Come on boys, let's do these cockney sparrers!
Erm, Cockneys are East End, Chelsea are West End
I was deliberately generalising about Lahndahners in a dismissive fashion.
But thanks for pointing that out.
-
Corner!
-
Oops Jack
-
Grealish got lucky there. Could have been 1-0 to them
Martinez had it covered
-
FFS Mings!
😂
-
I have a better quality dodgy stream than I have on my official Amazon Prime stream. FFS Amazon sort it out! >:(
-
C’mon boys, tighten up.
-
But Mason Mount is having a good game 😉
-
This refs boiling my piss already.Traore gets fouled Chelsea get a free kick for offside.
-

Yes he seems intent on annoying us
-
So far, a very very even game. We look better on the attack... great to see Villa competing in games such as this after years of being uncompetitive.
-
A bit of run of the ball in their area and we could have scored twice.
-
We look more dangerous in attack for certain. Keep on with that pressure!
-
So far, a very very even game. We look better on the attack... great to see Villa competing in games such as this after years of being uncompetitive.
That’s the most important bit. We should be two or three seasons away from being competing with sides like Chelsea, especially given how last year ended. Yet here we are a few months removed giving a proper to game to whatever opponent we come up against. That’s really enjoyable to watch.
-
Camped in their half at the moment.
-
Oh dear, he looks fucked here.
-
We are a proper team. Fuck the result here, we are a proper team.

I agree. It used to be that we would hope that Villa would just “have a go” at them, but we are really taking it to them again. When was the last time we honestly felt like we could get anything from any game?
If we keep this up, we’ll score.
-
Cash down.
-
I'll never understand how a light, mis-timed touch on the foot is a yellow.. but an overhead kick to the head is a common foul.
-
Cash back
-
Oh, not bloody Jim Beglin! He hates us.
Thought the same when I heard his voice. Just spouts clichés and always seems very negative.
I only came on to see if anyone had named the idiot on Amazon. Negative, cliche driven and Chelsea biased!
-
Of course, we know that Chelsea tire around the sixty minute mark: ; we should put them to the sword in the latter stages of the game.
-
The Hause goal drought continues. 😡
-
Of course, we know that Chelsea tire around the sixty minute mark: ; we should put them to the sword in the latter stages of the game.
Haha, very good
-
Shouldn't Pulisic be booked for that? Need to make sure not dangerous?
-
I'll never understand how a light, mis-timed touch on the foot is a yellow.. but an overhead kick to the head is a common foul.
Absolutely.
"An overhead kick looks good" isn't really enough justification for Pulisic's foot to be where Cash's face would expected to be.
-
Hause should have done better there
-
We are no pushovers anymore, definitely holding our own
-
Gonna score in a minute.
-
Hause should have done better there
I would of put my house on hause there
-
That would have been a penalty if it had been a Man U player getting that contact from Pulisic.
-
That would have been a penalty if it had been a Man U player getting that contact from Pulisic.
And would have been for that nudge on Giroud, too, to be fair.
-
Pulisic looks their most dangerous player. In more ways than one.
-
Fucking Giroud. Ah well, about time we came from behind to win a game.
-
FFS. Giroud.
-
Fuck
-
Both sides giving chances...
-
well, shit..
-
Fucking knew Giroud always scores against us.
-
Fuck off Giroud
-
FFS. Giroud.
too easy.
-
Can’t let them run us like that.
-
Good header
-
Can't we just sign Giroud? Not even to play, I'm just fucking sick of this. After we've been by miles the better side as well. By absolutely miles.
-
Traore let him go, piss poor, you cannot do that at this level.
-
That was too easy for them
-
Traore at fault. LeftCash to deal with 2 on 1.
-
WTF was Traore not doing.
-
We are having fuck all run of the ball.
-
I prefer Jack in the left sided position. He seems less effect in this formation.
-
Fuck me! You could cook a balti in Lampard's bald spot.
-
Very close but not offside for me.
-
So a player is allowed to stand in front of the goalie and the goal is allowed to stand?
-
WTF was Traore not doing.
Fuck all
-
Hardly had a fucking kick they had just said of Giroud Some things never change
-
Come on Villa
-
Didn't see anything different in that offside from both of Oli's disallowed goals
-
Hopefully this is our shit half.
Not at the races so far.
-
Chelsea getting waaaay too much room on our right side.
-
Let’s get back into them... shit. But we knew today would be a test.
-
Dangerous time this we look a bit ragged.
-
Hopefully this is our shit half.
Not at the races so far.
???????????????
-
Southgate Jr should have scored there.
-
Didn't see anything different in that offside from both of Oli's disallowed goals
Didn't you? here's a clue - the colour of the shirt
-
So a player is allowed to stand in front of the goalie and the goal is allowed to stand?
He's not as we know as Barclay wasn't
-
Need to ride this head of steam and get back to what we were doing
-
We need half time.
-
They're killing us down the left, can't handle Chilwell at all.
Started off alright but been a bit ragged in our play last 10 minutes, can't be going 2 down at half time.
Would've prefered 3 in central midfield against these tbh.
-
So a player is allowed to stand in front of the goalie and the goal is allowed to stand?
He's not as we know as Barclay wasn't
Exactly!
-
What is that 'Catapult' contraption on a tripod behind Dean?
-
Hopefully this is our shit half.
Not at the races so far.
Are you watching a different game? We have come to one of the best teams in Europe and matched them. A bit of luck in front of goal and we could be winning.
Have gone off in the last five minutes, admittedly. Need to get to half time no worse than one-nil.
-
I'd like to have seen those cross lines for that offside. His foot looked ahead of our defenders.
-
Can’t wait for the Amazon commentary. They’ll be gagging for Chelsea to win
as expected
-
Energy levels not the same. Hardly surprising given the lack of rotation.
-
We're looking slightly rattled.
-
Hopefully this is our shit half.

By our usual impeccable standards.
-
I'd like to have seen those cross lines for that offside. His foot looked ahead of our defenders.
I think it's safe to just assume that if there is a debatable call with a Villa player then it's offside. Any other player and it isn't.
-
Great tackle from Cash.
We're getting swamped in central midfield. Kante at his best is like two players in there. Think we need to pull Jack back in or take Traore off at half time.
-
We haven't really got going since the goal
-
Chelsea up to 9 fouls already, as we sit at 1.. surely there has to be a caution at some point?
-
How many cynical fouls before Chelsea get a yellow?
-
Think I’d get Elmo on for Traore. Just give Cash some support. Also a good attacking cross on him
-
Too many Hollywood passes going astray
-
Not quite getting the rub of the green here
-
Rudiger fouls Traore so the ref let's them retake the corner? Wtaf?
-
Apzpilcueta yellow, run at him second half please.
-
Rudiger fouls Traore so the ref let's them retake the corner? Wtaf?
yep, thought the same. Amazon will well and truly be crying themselves to sleep if Chelsea don’t win this
-
Every half-clearance goes straight to them. Keep it the same till sixty minutes then think about swapping one or two players, I reckon.
-
Think we’ll struggle to get back into this. We’ve been ok, but they’re carrying more threat.
-
Hmm. Tight game. They probably shaded that half and are getting success on the left.
We have shown decent play but little threat.
Still fancy is to get a point. Maybe from a set piece.
-
A very even game.
Feel we're slow going forwards, Kante allowed to foul at will it seems.
Traore has been very poor. Too pedestrian going forwards, no final ball and he's left Cash 2:1 on a couple occasions which has lead to a goal.
We need to quicken our ball up here.
-
Nowt in this game. They don’t deserve the lead despite this shitty commentary. We’re behind because Traore didn’t track the lad on the wing.
-
We look really flat today. Think palace took a lot out of us.
Traore for me was at fault for the goal didnt track back to defend that gave too much space for the cross in the box
-
Despite all the reports to the contrary Chelsea oozing with quality, Kante and Giroud two world cup winners and Chilwell was fantastic for Leicester last season v us.
We've been in it but struggled to break through their lines much.
-
Why do we have to put up with so many atrocious pundits. Beglin is appalling.
-
I think the commentators are watching a different game to me as they are saying Chelsea fully deserve their lead?!? I saw a right game currently decided by a tight decision, nothing more nothing less
-
We have got to change something here. They will score again if we keep giving them so much room down our right side. The "out" ball is there for them every time.
-
I’m watching it with no commentary. We shaded first quarter and they shaded the second for me. Partly as they appear to be able to foul pretty much with impunity.
-
Nowt in this game. They don’t deserve the lead despite this shitty commentary. We’re behind because Traore didn’t track the lad on the wing.
Commentary is ridiculous. So biased.
-
Still fancy us.How come their goal -minimal check.If that was us it'd be 5 minutes with lines and graph paper.
-
We need to bolster our right, they're getting in there way too often through Chilwell, Mount and Pulisic. Perhaps Elmo for Traore, but then we lose something in attack and we need goals.
-
Rudiger fouls Traore so the ref let's them retake the corner? Wtaf?
yep, thought the same. Amazon will well and truly be crying themselves to sleep if Chelsea don’t win this
I can only think the corner had not been taken so the ball wasn’t in play when he pulled Bert over but still an odd one.
-
Good opening 20 minutes without creating anything clear cut. Gone a bit static and ragged with our passing since then, and one mistake from Bertie leaves us chasing the game.
-
Looking like the game has come to quickly since Palace, not out of it but we looked less of a threat as the half went on.
-
I can see why pundits are saying that though, we have created very little and not tested their back four enough
-
We look a little slower to react. Need to get the ball to our players more cleanly.
But, overall nothing to be embarrassed about.
-
Traore far to lazy ,leaving Cash against two on one
-
Still fancy us.How come their goal -minimal check.If that was us it'd be 5 minutes with lines and graph paper.
Yeah. If we had scored that goal it would only have been disallowed two minutes ago.
-
Chilwell has the freedom of the park. Surely we knew what his strength is? Why weren’t we prepared for it and counteracted it?
-
We seem to be a bit devoid of ideas today. Unfortunately, Chelsea look pretty much in control and are creating loads of space, on their left hand side, giving Chilwell far too much room. Unlike our last few matches, we’re not creating much up top.
-
Cash is playing very narrow when they are around the box, Traore should have kept tracking but Matty was inside the line of the 18yd box with an attacker outside of him. That is more than an issue of one player not tracking properly it's an unbalanced system.
-
Looks like another flat performance against a crap team (Rudiger and Christensen are playing after all). Hopefully we can regroup and tweak the tactics to shut down the wide threat.
Might this be a game for the fabled 442?
-
Think I'd take Traore off and put Nakamba on and look at see how that goes for 20 minutes. Need to stop Kante and Mount from quickly sweeping the ball out wide, would tell McGinn to drop back there when we're out of possesion.
-
Mendy looks suss.Ping a few low ones at him
-
If anybody doesnt appreciate what Trez gives us it was demonstrated by that goal and Traores contribution to it.
-
Look weak on our right, both going forward and defending. Chelsea are a quality side though and we’ve done well.
-
Missing Mings' passing ability up to Ollie
-
Shame we’re 1-0 down because I thought we were the better team for the first 30 minutes.
-
I’m watching it with no commentary. We shaded first quarter and they shaded the second for me. Partly as they appear to be able to foul pretty much with impunity.
Yep, no commentary for me and reported the same to my dad. We looked excellent/dangerous up to about 25min mark, and for the last few minutes. 25mins-40mins they looked excellent. Think we can still get something out of this, just need to get them back on the back foot early on.
-
playing with our usual swagger up until the goal, but since then it's just hause lumping it forward to the channels.
if we can come from behind to get something out of this game it will be a massive show of intent.
-
Chelsea have a lot of top notch players and when on form are bloody good, plus we could have done without them getting tonked at Arsenal as they seem to have reacted by upping their effort and game. I'm not surprised we aren't creating as much as recent matches.
-
We're looking slightly rattled.
We do. After a good start, Chelsea are bringing out our weaknesses, House's distribution, El Ghazi running into brick walls, Traore looking like he did when here first arrived and Jack trying to do too much. Not really sure what we can do, nobody on the bench to change it. We can only have a bit more faith in our own ability and go at them.
-
If anybody doesnt appreciate what Trez gives us it was demonstrated by that goal and Traores contribution to it.
Yep huge miss for games like this. Trez would be sprinting back when we lose the ball, Traore is just jogging back and by then the cross has already been swung in.
-
Elmoo for traore
-
Missing Mings' passing ability up to Ollie
Good point. Hause is a decent enough defender but his passing is very suspect.
-

Cash was frequently left marking two when Trez was playing.
-
Elmoo for traore
Not for me. Sounds a bit McLeishy. We need to stop them getting forward by pinning them back. Attack attack attack.
-
Got to get better support to Cash. They’ve definitely targeted that side. He’s quality though. But I suspect they know Traore isn’t as strong tracking back.
-
If anybody doesnt appreciate what Trez gives us it was demonstrated by that goal and Traores contribution to it.
I don't think you'll find anybody disagreeing with that.
-
I wonder if Kante will eventually get booked by the Coventry referee. 6 fouls so far. Foul no 10 85th minute anyone for his yellow?
-
We seem to have a lot less patience on the ball. The last few games has seen us moving the ball around with simple passes but we look as though we are less patient tonight at times looking a little bit desperate. Lplenty of time to change and play like we have been Chelsea are not great but we are allowing them to run at us. We’ll win 2-1😀
-
Missing Mings' passing ability up to Ollie
Good point. Hause is a decent enough defender but his passing is very suspect.
Hause has done fine for me. Probably had our best chance with that mistimed header from the free kick.
-
Much as I want to see Traore going forward I think Dean has got to get Elmo on to shore up the right because at the moment that’s the only thing that is defeating us
-
Chelsea have a lot of top notch players and when on form are bloody good, plus we could have done without them getting tonked at Arsenal as they seem to have reacted by upping their effort and game. I'm not surprised we aren't creating as much as recent matches.
You'd expect a little effort when you spend a quarter of a billion pounds over the summer..
I think we're doing fine. Traore keeps getting sucked into the middle and it looks like Cash wants to stay as compact as possible with his central defenders. Once they are on the same page I think we'll be okay.
We need to be targeting Azpilicueta, Cristensen and Jorginho.. they look awful.
-
Cash is playing very narrow when they are around the box, Traore should have kept tracking but Matty was inside the line of the 18yd box with an attacker outside of him. That is more than an issue of one player not tracking properly it's an unbalanced system.
Problem we're having is that Pulisic is tucking inside and Cash is having to go with him, leaving space outside for Chilwell. Traore is getting drawn to other players or in the case of the goal, is getting caught ball watching and Chilwell is getting far too much space.
-
If anybody doesnt appreciate what Trez gives us it was demonstrated by that goal and Traores contribution to it.
I don't think you'll find anybody disagreeing with that.
He will
-

Ha! I saw.
-
We do lack amazing options off the bench, especially with no Barkley or Trezeguet available.
-

chelsea have pressed very well. We're not moving thre ball quickly enough
-
These long balls from Hause are a waste of time.
-
Nakamba on for Traore. Push McGinn up a bit and Jack out wider.
-
The press looks a yard off the pace all across the pitch, it could be the fact they all played two days ago, it could just be Chelsea moving the ball that fraction quicker than we're used to.
-
Goooooaaaaalll
-
Scoooorchiooooo!!!!
-
please be onside.
-
Commentator trying to find something to disallow it for. 🤨
-
The Goal Machine!
-
EL Ghazi!!!!
-
Shut up Boglin.
-
Come here commentators, let me lick your tears.
-
Shut up Boglin.
x2. This feckin guy.
-
That will do nicely.
-
Get in there !!
-
Get the fuck in!
-
Christensen surely got to get booked for that?!
-
Fair play to El Ghazi. Limited chances previously, but he's stuck at it.
-
Commentators are absolute shite. They obviously don’t like us!!
-
Flippin heck, they’re desperate to get our goal disallowed on Amazon
-
Shut up Boglin.
Desperate for a Chelsea win. Twat.
-
Fwank doesn’t look happy. Must have read BE’s comments about his bald patch.
-
What IS Beglin jabbering on about??!
Arse.
-
Is that the first time we've equalised this season?
-
Well, fuck me. Common sense from Clattenburg. Beglin has a whole portion of chips on his shoulder about Villa. He probably thinks Liverpool were unlucky not to win at VP.
-
Is that the first time we've equalised this season?
West Ham
-
Missed the fucking goal cos of this shit stream!!!
-
Is that the first time we've equalised this season?
No, we did it at home to Brighton (and at Burton in the League Cup). Oh, and West Ham, as someone else has helpfully pointed out. 😁
-
Boglin, say benefit of the doubt one more time.
-
If that is anything other than a foul on Jack then I’m Beglin’s uncle. Twat.
-
Well said, Mark Clattenburg, though the commentators don't sound too impressed with his opinion!
-
El Ghazi proving doubters wrong game after game right now. Brilliant.
We've got Trez and Barkley to come back too which is nice.
-
This is embarrassing by Amazon
-
El Ghazi proving doubters wrong game after game right now. Brilliant.
We've got Trez and Barkley to come back too which is nice.
And January transfer window.
-

But apart from those times?!
-

It's okay, you can still hear Jim Beglin whinging about it for the next half an hour.
-
If that is anything other than a foul on Jack then I’m Beglin’s uncle. Twat.
Apparently Jack is legally obliged to jump out of the way of everyone who tries to foul him, or so it would seem.
-
Christensen was that injured, he came straight back on at the restart , without needing treatment.
-
Beglin sounds gutted we scored, must have a few quid on a Chelsea win.
-
El Ghazi proving doubters wrong game after game right now. Brilliant.
We've got Trez and Barkley to come back too which is nice.
And January transfer window.
Quite. King seems to be the one talked about and whilst I'd rather us go for someone proven, its not a bad shout.
-
Just catching up after putting the kids to bed.
Delighted to see El Ghazi getting another goal. Brilliant. He’s not had an easy game, but it’s great to see him sticking at it.
Really negative commentary from Amazon. It’s almost like we had done something naughty to their Nans over Christmas
-
Missed the fucking goal cos of this shit stream!!!
It's okay, you can still hear Jim Beglin whinging about it for the next half an hour.
I've got Efan Ekoku on my stream. Not sure which is worse.
-
Need to hook Traore on the left.
-
Commentators desperate for a home win. Bizarre!
-
That should be a yellow card for Christensen every day of the week. He only stayed down because he was trying to avoid a booking. Beglin clearly has a boner for Chelsea. Or dislikes us for some reason.
-
Hause has to do better with his balls forward, the last three all been short and put us under pressure. Much better to be too long if you're trying to pick out a man.
Chelsea seem content to let him have in the left-back position.
-

Is that the NBC stream? If so yes the commentary is just bizarre
-
Commentators gone a bit flat since we scored... Twats.
-
McGinn is getting better and better as the season progresses.
-
They really want Chelsea to swat aside upstarts Villa and get back to winning ways
-
Missed the fucking goal cos of this shit stream!!!
It's okay, you can still hear Jim Beglin whinging about it for the next half an hour.
I've got Efan Ekoku on my stream. Not sure which is worse.
It would be some effort by Ekoku if he was worse.
-
I wish there was an option shut up the commentators like there is for the crowd noise...
-
Good defending Hause. Stopped Rylan getting another chance.
-
Is that the first time we've equalised this season?
No, we did it at home to Brighton (and at Burton in the League Cup). Oh, and West Ham, as someone else has helpfully pointed out. 😁
But apart from those times?!
Never. It's a disgrace.
-
There's yer Bert tracking back.
-
Great play Matty Targett
-
Mcginn and grealish were abit sloppy with the ball there
-
Great play Marty Targett
Indeed.
-
Watkins done some good defending there.
-
Phew. Offside.
-
Offside goal disallowed
-
Chelsea goal, offside though.
-
Offside twice actually
-
That’s offside. You can almost hear the disappointment in the commentators voices...
Like they were having a crafty shuffle over something a little dubious and their eyes slipped at the wrong second.

I thought the same thing!
-
Brilliant defending from Hause
-
McGinn bar. Nae luck.
-
McGinn bar! That was so close.
-
Didn't see much of an offside there, need to stay alert for their short corners.
-
Oooooo great effort
-
everything still coming down the left though. all game. we havn't done a job on chillwell yet
-
Fuck me SJM off the bar
-
Omg crossbar!!
-
Two fouls from behind, and McGinn with a dart off the bar.
-
Great effort by McGinn
-
McGinn screamer off the bar
-
That was a great shot by McGinn.
Game opening up now.
-
Unlucky SJM!
-
Everything from them is coming down our righr.
-
How many times have we hit the post/bar this season
-
Do they not give high foot anymore against Chelsea?
-
Everything from them is coming down our righr.
Yes Elmo needs to come on now before it’s too late
-
Giroud and El Ghazi booked for handbags. VAR checked it but fuck all in it.
Bamford would have had El Ghazi sent off. Poor effort from Giroud.
-
That was like a post Christmas dinner fart.
Not very pleasant, but just a lot of hot air
-

Traore does look bagged. He could do with a breather.
Giroud off
Edit: Bert looks fine. Lovely run
-
Rylan off for them.
-
Lovely from Traore there. Beautiful to see runs like that.
-
Giroud is a whingy little git and has a Barry sized arse.
-
Fucking shoot!
-
McGinn should have shot then.
-
Fucking shoot!
You are Ole Gunnar Solskaer and I claim my 50p
-
Jack you have to do better
-
Jack’s final ball let him down there. He should probably have shot too.
-
Oh Jack
-
Aaaggh jack chose wrong option then. Should have been selfish
-
Whatever happens now how good is it to see a Villa team playing like this?
-

Yes I almost don’t care if we lose as I know we will win again
-
That Kante is rather good.
-
Traore needs to come off. He looks exhausted
-
I dream of the day when we hit the bar and it actually going in
-
Young Ramsey coming on for AEG
-
Think Traore needs to come off
-
Gave Pulisic too much space there. Good save Martinez.
-
Great save by Emi from Pulisic
-
It is great to see us going to Stamford Bridge and actually playing. Win or lose, we are a very different outfit to last season.
-
Whatever happens now how good is it to see a Villa team playing like this?
Very, we're competing, against a very good side, 48 hrs after playing 45 with ten men.. with no changes (a good argument for keeping 3 subs!)
-
Think Traore needs to come off
I’m not ignoring you by the way!
-
Good save Martinez. He couldn’t take the chance that wasn’t going in.
-
That Kante is rather good.
He's the only player in front of their back four willing to defend.
-
I’d happily take a draw now. We’ve played well but a point would be very solid.
-
Watkins workrate is incredible.
-
I’d love a draw in this game. The villa nerves in me say that we’ll lose, but a draw would be a great result.
-
Ramsey on for El Ghazi.
-
Well played Anwar.
-
I’d happily take a draw now. We’ve played well but a point would be very solid.
Fuck that! I will take a 1-2 hijack on 90 minutes.
-
Anwar, having another game of silencing his critics.
-
And nearly scores an instant wonder goal.
-
Ooooooooo I thought that was curling in
-
Oooooh Ramsey so close
-
I thought that was in. Would have been one hell of a start!
-
Ooooofffff
-

Well yes, that too. Preferably
-
Would take the draw all day. Great battling performance with some tired looking players.
-
I wish there was an option shut up the commentators like there is for the crowd noise...
Yes that bastard Logie-Baird should have invented something for that, like say a volume knob.
-
Surely Elmo for Traore is the option here.
-
Only 9 attempts by Villa, pathetic.
-

But then I have to listen to my wife telling me to do chores as opposed to watching the last 10 mins!
-
Great tackle Luiz.
-
Ollie Watkins has such an unforgiving job and really nobody on the bench who can do what he does. It would be great to have another forward off the bench so we can continue to play the same way and give him a break. And especially considering he’s not scoring.
-
Beglin literally sounds depressed.
-
Grealish looking a bit tired to me. Not bad just tired. Couple of passes just not come off.
Davis on and Traore off for me. Move Watkins out right.
-
I’m getting a bit worried here
-
This is an aggressive move for the last few minutes. Let’s see if we can hit them on a break...
-
Davis on for Bert. Surprised by that
-
Keinan replacing Traore. Has Watkins played every minute this season?
-
What a time this would be for a Davis goal.
-
Ollie wide right?
-
Davis-injured winner please.
-
Davis-injured winner please.
Injured getting the winner would be a very Davis thing give his luck
-
Davis-injured winner please.
More chance of the UK rejoining the EU in 2021.
-
Why are they allowed to take corners outside the corner bit?
-
Davis-injured winner please.

😁
-

Social distancing.
-
4 minutes added
-
Davis-injured winner please.
The scenes
-
Why are they allowed to take corners outside the corner bit?
The rule is that part of the ball has to overhang part of the quadrant so if perfectly legal
-
Why are they allowed to take corners outside the corner bit?
It's allowed as long as part of the ball overhangs the quadrant.
-
Jesus H Cock, thought they had scored then.
-
Oooooh fucking hell. Chilwell so close
-
Jesus H Cock, though they had scored then.
So did the commentators. Negative points for using the word “bulge”
-
Hell of an effort from Chilwell
-

C**TS!
-
SJM has been superb today
-
Last second corner, c'mon.
-
Well played Villa.
-
FT 1-1
Not a bad result at all.
-
I’ll take a 1-1 from that. Well played villa.
-
That’s right Ian. Aston Villa just won’t go away
-
Well done lads.
-
Played lads. Good point that. Well chuffed with the application and style.
-
Good performance, fair-ish result
-
Amazon gutted.
Great result. Dogged performance but a streetwise one. We would have lost that last season
-
Well played. Another performance and result that would have beyond us last season
-
Shows how far we have come that a point away at Chelsea feels disappointing! A good performance from tired players who all put a shift in.
