Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[claret and blue blood]

I would probably have gone with Richardson over Amavi at left back, but would of moved him to left midfield where his crosses can do some damage. Amavi also plays midfield for France.

I would of gone with:

                            Guzan

       Hutton  Richards   Lescott   Richardson
                         
         Traore    Sanchez  Gana     Amavi

                                   Grealish/Gil
Like that, are you available from 5pm?
                       Gestede/Ayew

Veretout =evergreen? Dropped at first sign of autumn so deciduous

We're going to get roundly smashed. Richardson, for fuck's sake.

More than likely. Sanchez for Westwood and Amavi for Richardson and I'd be feeling better about things. As it is...

My thoughts exactly TV.

[Villa in Denmark]

Gil, Ayew, Gestede and Grealish all playing he is asking for a hammering here.

The Lambert Bradford "tactics"

Is he deliberately trying to get sacked?

That midfield is going to get fucking slaughtered

[Villa in Denmark]

It's a brave line up. I'd have put an extra midfielder in there but their defence is dodgy and Terry's not having a good time of it so who knows.

There's a difference between brave and suicidal.

Bloody hell, it's tough finding a stream today.

Looks like he's picked a "broken team", 6 to sit deep (hence no Amavi) and the other 4 to stay up top. Can work sometimes, but other times the guys up top get starved of the ball and you play 6 v 10.

Broken team? They bloody well will be by 5pm.

Go on reddit, they'll have loads of links on the football sub-reddit

I've had Chelsea with a four goal handicap

[Toronto Villa]

You what?

He's placed money on himself being 2.5 times more miserable than he usually is by 5pm. I disagree that there is only a 61% chance of that being the case.

[manic-road]

Still not losing, get in.

So Amavi and Veretout aren't injured? We all know that for definite yes?

Come on Villa!
