Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

Second to everything.  They don’t give a toss.

Alan Smith "It's extraordinary how one sided it is."
No it isn't.

[PeterWithesShin]

23% possession, and most of that is the ball in the air as we hoof it

[PeterWithesShin]

Oooohh

In all honesty, do we actually deserve to be in the PL?

Hackers.

We won the play offs, so yes, any more stupid questions?

[cdbearsfan]

WE DID A SHOT!

[olaftab]

Are the players aware where we are in the table?

Yes and they are maintaining the standard.

[SoccerHQ]

Feels a bit like Leicester. Clinging on at 0-0 but floodgates could open when Chelsea score.

Need to get in 0-0 at half time and find a way to get our players on the ball in final third. Not like Chelsea are some impossible team to score against.

Cor, this is getting a bit embarrassing.  Absolutely no ambition at the moment.

[wince]

Are we just playing long ball. When we actually get the ball.

[Risso]

This is every bit as poor as all the other poor games this season.  How have we not conceded yet?

[Steve67]

We can't get a foothold here at all.  Alan Smith saying we need the supporters, yeah maybe, but it would be to bollock them in to trying more.  Nyland!!  Shot from El Ghastly!!

Chelsea are a good team but we are so meek. Watching us you’d think we were safely in mid table and not bothered.

[Toronto Villa]

It’s like we play rope a dope except we are not Muhammad Ali

[Three Spires Villa]

Is it a training match attack v defence? Really really bad
