Aston Villa v Chelsea Pre match thread 7.2.15 @ 3 PM

Straight loss. I hope we play 5 at the back and shut up shop. Pray we can somehow avoid another humiliation.

[l_mckay]

Us 0-4 them.

[Oscar Arce]

We are going to get hammered again.
How much more do we have to take?

15 games. Then it's over.

[KRS]

Painful.

1-4

A John Terry own goal for us.

Well, where to start:

The villa coaches tactics for the Chelsea game look like this:



Lambert likes the above, will call it the new system, internally the code for it is - "The first 2.5 years"- so wanders off to practise mumbling the word excellent in preparation for the post match interview:

 "mmmmm excellent mmmmm go again mmmmm contract extension mmmm couldn't make it up mmmm" - Perfect!.

Below is what Paul came up with by himself - ahhhh bless him



Looking for a second opinion on the coaches work, Lambert asks Randy for his input - he came up with this,



Randy also tells him that to prove how much fun he's having with Villa, he's decided to add to his Villa tattoo by strategiclly shaping his anus to resemble our weekly goal tally - which is, well, excellent

The above could though all be described as a false narrative - especially if i was try to sound like an absolute cockend

In summary - Villa Randys hoop : Cockneys 4

Guzan, Given - Hutton, Lowton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Richardson - Westwood, Sanchez - Benteke.

0-14 it is then

[aj2k77]

Guzan, Given - Hutton, Lowton, Okore, Clark, Cissokho, Richardson - Westwood, Sanchez - Benteke.

Not enough centre mids. Needs at least 3 more.

One thing I expect is Lambert will be desperate to make sure we don't get another hiding. I can already hear Mourinho post match complaining how "difficult it is to play against teams that park the bus and don't want to play football."

I love it when Mourinho moans about sides doing that, the hypocritical twat.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

I'm waiting for his pre-match press conference where he talks about Lambert needing more time and how he's doing a good job, whilst trying to keep a straight face.

[brontebilly]

Any word on whether Vlaar will be back?

Id nearly give Okore and Clark another go even if he is.

Vlaar for one takes a couple of games to get match fit, this isnt the type of game for that. Could be a big boost to Okore and Clark to be given another chance.

This time with Cissokho back on the left and Hutton on strict orders not to get caught miles up the pitch. Also our defensive line needs to be at least ten yards deeper than against Arsenal with Westwood and Sanchez covering in front of them.

He is going to absolutely love beating us. After the handshake war of words bollocks he can't wait to lord it over Lambert.
