Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[SoccerHQ]

Despite all the reports to the contrary Chelsea oozing with quality, Kante and Giroud two world cup winners and Chilwell was fantastic for Leicester last season v us.

We've been in it but struggled to break through their lines much.

[kippaxvilla2]

Why do we have to put up with so many atrocious pundits.  Beglin is appalling.

[jwarry]

I think the commentators are watching a different game to me as they are saying Chelsea fully deserve their lead?!? I saw a right game currently decided by a tight decision, nothing more nothing less

[The Edge]

We have got to change something here. They will score again if we keep giving them so much room down our right side. The "out" ball is there for them every time.

[PaulWinch again]

I’m watching it with no commentary. We shaded first quarter and they shaded the second for me. Partly as they appear to be able to foul pretty much with impunity.

[PaulTheVillan]

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.

Commentary is ridiculous. So biased.

[AlexAlexCropley]

Still fancy us.How come their goal -minimal check.If that was us it'd be 5 minutes with lines and graph paper.

[ktvillan]

We need to bolster our right, they're getting in there way too often through Chilwell, Mount and Pulisic.  Perhaps Elmo for Traore, but then we lose something in attack and we need goals.

[wolfman999]

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

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

I can only think the corner had not been taken so the ball wasn’t in play when he pulled Bert over but still an odd one.

[hipkiss92]

Good opening 20 minutes without creating anything clear cut. Gone a bit static and ragged with our passing since then, and one mistake from Bertie leaves us chasing the game.

[manic-road]

Looking like the game has come to quickly since Palace, not out of it but we looked less of a threat as the half went on.

[Demitri_C]

I can see why pundits are saying that though, we have created very little and not tested their back four enough

[Small Rodent]

We look a little slower to react. Need to get the ball to our players more cleanly.

But, overall nothing to be embarrassed about.

[pooligan]

Traore far to lazy ,leaving Cash against two on one

Yeah. If we had scored that goal it would only have been disallowed two minutes ago.
