Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

We haven't really got going since the goal

[villadelph]

Chelsea up to 9 fouls already, as we sit at 1.. surely there has to be a caution at some point?

[PaulWinch again]

How many cynical fouls before Chelsea get a yellow?

[PaulTheVillan]

Think I’d get Elmo on for Traore. Just give Cash some support. Also a good attacking cross on him

[Hampshire Villa]

Too many Hollywood passes going astray

[jwarry]

Not quite getting the rub of the green here

[The Edge]

Rudiger fouls Traore so the ref let's them retake the corner? Wtaf?

[SoccerHQ]

Apzpilcueta yellow, run at him second half please.

yep, thought the same. Amazon will well and truly be crying themselves to sleep if Chelsea don’t win this

[cdbearsfan]

Every half-clearance goes straight to them. Keep it the same till sixty minutes then think about swapping one or two players, I reckon.

[PaulWinch again]

Think we’ll struggle to get back into this. We’ve been ok, but they’re carrying more threat.

[aldridgeboy]

Hmm. Tight game. They probably shaded that half and are getting success on the left.

We have shown decent play but little threat.

Still fancy is to get a point. Maybe from a set piece.

A very even game.

Feel we're slow going forwards, Kante allowed to foul at will it seems.

Traore has been very poor. Too pedestrian going forwards, no final ball and he's left Cash 2:1 on a couple occasions which has lead to a goal.

We need to quicken our ball up here.

[Rigadon]

Nowt in this game.  They don’t deserve the lead despite this shitty commentary. We’re behind because Traore didn’t track the lad on the wing. 

[Demitri_C]

We look really flat today.  Think palace took a lot out of us.

Traore for me was at fault for the goal didnt track back to defend that gave too much space for the cross in the box
