Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[CT]

Pathetic from Gil, barely touched with a defenders finger and he's rolling around holding his head.

[ez]

Ayew surely has to score today. He deserves it for all the chances he's wasted

On replay i thought that last chance was deflected wide.

[Gregorys Boy]

We've responded fairly well to going behind to be fair.  But I'd expect Chelsea to exploit the extra space and kill the game off late on.

Fcukin Sanchez again

Late on in the first half you mean?

I'll save you answer my rhetorical question

Different manager, same old shite

With these players the manager is irrelevant.

Exactly.

I don't know what sort of significantly different line up people expect Black to pick.

Gana on his heels. Richards closing down fresh air again. Sanchez gives it away near own goal for the 476th time this season.

Gil was great when he first came in, but, like many before and after, he's been gradually ground down by the rubbish management, disinterested players and general negativity at the club. Confidence is shot.

[PhilVill]

Although a donkey in the prem, I do think Gestede will be good in the Championship, if used correctly.

Our tempo is appalling tho, (no change there then) play at this pace in the champ and we'll get annihilated

[Meanwood Villa]

Beelzebub must have gone for a dump. That was the first time he's spoken in about 20 mins

[sickbeggar]

Ayew competes well but he's about as prolific as Heskey at this stage of his career. Why they thought he could replace Benteke is anyone's guess

[Jimbo]

Dreary shite.

[PeterWithesShin]

Penalty Chelsea.

[ez]

Penalty

[PeterWithesShin]

Game over.
