Pictures of Di Matteo showed him looking dumbfounded. He must have been worried as he'd used all his subs so can't change anything, and given their recent poor away record thought his team might possibly lose the game. He then desperately looks around and sees Heskey emerging from the Villa bench, turned to his own and said 'Don't worry lads, they've just thrown it away.' And they did. Heskey coming on had fuck all to do with anything.I think remove the words 'coming on' and you would be about right. On 80 mins we equalised. The only change of personnel by both teams after that was Heskey coming for Villa on 82 mins, when Chelsea were wobbling. They then scored two goals. You're evident dislike of Heskey is affecting your rationality.Don't dislike him, just thought bringing him on punctured our momentum of taking the game to them. It was a message that we are going to play for the draw, which proved defeatist both metaphorically and in the end, literally. It wasn't in the least bit defeatist or evidence we were playing for a draw. He brought him on to replace a tired young forward. I really don't see the issue.I disagree TV, and I actually think he was on in part to defend set pieces etc. The fact we conceded from a corner with 2 non challenged headers was criminal. Heskey should be right there at the front post battering the ball away.

Under MON we always used to put Carew at the front post to head corners away and we went a long time without conceding from one.
Corners FFS, probably the most frustrating aspect of our play all season as it's been a solvable problem all season that's not exactly rocket science.Our defending of corners this season has been absolutley dreadful.We just look totally disorganised, like we are making it up as we go. What the heck do they do at BH every week???Bigman to clear up the front, two men on the posts and pick up the runners. We never do it.
We lacked the confidence / belief to have a go until the 2nd half.Ref gave us nothing, most of his bias was subtle but the Gabby 'free kick' was outrageous. Given the team we had available & who we were playing we can't complain about the result or our performance.Are we in danger, yes, but I can guarantee that all 5 teams below us would swap places with us in a second. We need to show some real fight over the next few weeks, get a few players fit, cut out the bitching and pull together to get us over the line. UTV
Well the commentator mentioned the Agbonlahor incident but the pundits saw fit not to.And, no, I'm not surprised.
