Chelsea v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Malandro]

at least we are respecting the uefa financial fair play rules.

You're not allowed to buy players in December. Why not wait till next month and see who we sign?

It's the goal difference that worries me. That's why I raised the r word again earlier.

I agree we should be looking up, and can still creep into the top ten. It's just that tenth to eighteenth is so damn tight this year. Wigan have a knack of coming good, while both Southampton and Sunderland can nab important wins. That's why I mentioned the dreaded 'r' word. A goal difference like ours is a real concern and it is important we bounce back quickly and put it behind us.

Sadly, 7 or 8 goal defeats are more of a problem to us now than they were in March 2010 when at least we knew we were definitely safe and chasing Europe.

I think we will finish comfortably clear of the bottom 3 and don't think goal difference will send us down- today is a day to put behind us and a wake up call , we have 2 home games coming up - lets win them!

Lambert honest - " they know my feelings and they know they've let everyone down".

We have never, ever, ever lost 8-0 before.
As shit as we have been been many times is the past, no one has ever beaten us like that before.
I know we are in the throw away era where nothing matters for very long, and everyone just moves on, but fuck, this matters to me. I feel absolutely sick with this result.
That is a big thing. You can't just sweep it under the carpet as another game, it could have a massive impact on the season.
I just hope that management team have the balls to learn from this.

Embarrassing

[ROBBO]

Most disappointing was the workrate today, we are a young side playing a team of internationals worth millions the last thing you need is the workrate to drop off. Chelsea targetted our left side from the off, not the first side to do that, they all see the weakness.
Lambert tried to keep the momentum up from last week when probably a more defensive team was needed,we all know that we need
experienced players in, lets see what happens next month.

We lost 8-0 and not a single Villa player booked, where was the fight?

What's the point in picking up stupid bookings when you're 4/5/6/7/8-0 down?

I'm not talking about getting booked for the sake of it, but the team today showed hardly any fight

My 9 yr old now supports Chelsea again and has just been bollocked by my wife for teasing me.

Problem was, we couldn't get near them, they were that good today.

[Irish villain]

I hope you are right eastie, and think you probably are.

There's something very naked about losing like that though. It just stunned me.

With the notable exception of 3 or 4 games, the whole season has been a wake up call. And the players keep hitting the snooze button and going back to sleep.

Tell him Santa is a Villa fan and unless he shows some love for the Villa he's only getting an orange for Christmas.
