Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Stu]

We should have binned Smith when we had the chance.  Miserable.

Agreed. He is poor. His signings are poor, and the latter should do for him.

[PeterWithesShin]

Chance

[Nev]

You can't play football like we do and expect anything other than failure.
Dreadful.

[Bad English]

Three months to prepare for these fixtures and we're conceding 90% possession.

[Jon Crofts]

Who said 1-4? Looking about right now

Me. I’m not proud.

[cdbearsfan]

We're not allowed to enjoy ourselves.

[hilts_coolerking]

Dean just doesn't seem to know how to see out a game when we're in the lead, or get back into a game when we're behind.  Which is a bit useless.

[CT]

Body language suggests we’re done for.

Literally no leadership anywhere.

[PaulWinch again]

Hayes should have done better there. It’d be remarkable if we get anything from here.

[Sexual Ealing]

A bit late for Nakamba now.

[ChicagoLion]

We saw the first half and we needed to get some legs in midfield.
As usual he stands on the sidelines and watches passively.

[wince]

Why are we playing Grealish in stupid positions?

[hilts_coolerking]

Come on Trez.  Let's have a bit of your magic.

[ktvillan]

We're absolutely insipid.  Nowhere near enough urgency and effort.  Smith has to answer for that. He appears to be well out of his depth at this level.  Oh great, Trezeguet coming on, may as well switch off.

[Axl Rose]

So many unlikeable players.

Almost everything has come down our left. Targett....deary me. Woeful.

El Ghazi is a poor player, swanning about.

I can't say anything negative about Hourihane without some weird poster whose name I forget, stalking me and telling me off.

The list is endless. Put it this way, I wouldn't miss many of them if we went down and they fucked off.
