Aston Villa vs Chelsea Match Thread

Well that was 45 minutes of nothing. I like Gil - to say he's been rubbish is a nonsense in my opinion. Creativity we've been lacking.

[Monty]

Hull and Sunderland winning is really annoying.

[CT]

10 hrs and 57 minutes to be precise.

So it's nowhere near as bad as 11 hours...

[pauliewalnuts]

Looking not so good in the table at the moment.

17th.

[Axl Rose]

Cleverley. Why?

[Nelly]

We still haven't really worked their keeper, but we haven't been outclassed. Our passing is improved in terms of trying to get forwards I must say. Chelsea can turn it up a notch or two I'd imagine but we look like we could score if we can just link it up right. Gil's been the highlight for me. We don't miss Benteke either, it's the same level of anonymity up front so far.

Played okay, I wish we had a forward worthy of the name on the pitch.

[joecrow]

Better than I was expecting.....but still not good enough. Delph disappointing so far, won't even start about the legend that is Tc23

[pooligan]

Defoe has scored in his first couple of games for the Sunderland ,how i wished we had got him

[David_Nab]

Sunderland winning is bad , Hull winning is fucking terribly not only will they go above us they will go into the game with us more confident.

We need to get gabby or Weimann off you can't play with 2 forwards who have zero chemistry they don't link up at all.That said we just don't get enough support into the box , how can you have 3 CM's and not one can make a run into the box ?

[hilts_coolerking]

How we playing then?  Sounds like we are all over them if only losing by a goal?

All over them is OTT but we've looked alright coming forward, just can't get a proper clear cut chance.  And don't look too clever finishing anyway.  Chelsea look dangerous in and around our box.

How we playing then?  Sounds like we are all over them if only losing by a goal?

It's like when you try and punch a taller person than you and they just hold an arm out , keeping their hand on your forehead, while you swing at fresh air

[PaulWinch again]

Sinclair and Benteke on please.

[Nelly]

Defoe wouldn't score any for us because we don't create chances. It's not so much the strikers as the way we play. Not quite enough urgency and intent for me.

[PeterWithesShin]

We've done okay since the goal. Gil very good again. Need to stop losing possession in our half. I do feel chavski have another couple of gears they can go to. And it's very cold so any typos are because of cold hands!
