Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Risso]

Ref a bit of a homer?

He just let SJM off with what should probably have been a yellow card.

[Risso]

They're all over us at the moment.

Defence is looking sloppy.

[Bad English]

I'm watching this with no commentary so at least I haven't got some French ex-pro wanking over Chelsea all game.

Mings gives it away again

[Risso]

'Sake Mings.

Why did the Liverpool badge just appear in the corner of the screen? Subliminal gloryhunting bellends.

Need to survive this first half. Think we'll get chances in the second but Chelsea are miles better than Man. United so going to be a tough night.

[Meanwood Villa]

This isn't great

Look a bit too open in midfield.  I would play Douglas and Marvellous in away games like this, with one of McGinn or Hourihane in front of them.  The latter in particular just looks so slow playing against this level of opposition.

Tammy scores

Pretty scrappy from us at the moment. They’re gaining confidence

[SoccerHQ]

Abraham the most predictable goalscorer of the night, 1-0.

Long night ahead I fear.

[itbrvilla]

Shit!

[PaulWinch again]

That was coming. Dreadful defending.
