Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[Proposition Joe]

Played well. The midfield 3 has been really impressive, especially Ramsey. The only thing is I get the impression that we still don't *believe* we can score when we get chances. Lukaku, when he got the ball for their goal, didn't just believe, he *knew* he was going to score.

Bailey needs to come on this match it set up for him to shine. Danny Ings has been absolutely terrible

Sad, sad troll.

Bore off

I'll defend my right to an opinion on the players, others have said he has been shit and I agree

Apart from the score it's the best I've seen us play in a long time. With better strikers we'd be in front.

Playing really well. Despite that it’s still difficult to get anything from a game like this but if we play like this against the lesser teams we’ll pick up loads of wins and points. Unfortunately we know how that usually goes…

[levico]

Created far more than I expected but I suspect we’ll rue the missed chances.

Chelsea will change into third gear in the second half.

I’d take Axel and Ings off, go 4-3-3. Ollie up front, Bailey out wide.

Change the formation that's been working so well?? Excellent idea!

I'd be tempted to drop Bailey alongside Ollie and see what happens.

Agree Ings is limited in this formation. He can press o.k but it is a bit Bent ish in that he's not the type of striker who'll always be in the game if crosses aren't coming in. Ollie is so that's the difference.

Bore off, from you? Ha!

Really like Ramsey. Would be keen to see him start to get decent shots off too.

Did the formation work really well for their goal? What would we have lost if Tuanzebe hadn't been playing and, say, Bailey had been in the team instead?

Playing well here. Was a bit worried about 3 at the back, but one long ball aside I think we've played well.

Watkins should score and Ramsey is doing well with the freedom he's got.

Referee only wants our autograph though. I will credit Chelsea for having better 4g and these rail thingies to lean on when you're watching the game.

Formation is working really well though ......plus you've only brought one sub on ....

Very much this.

[SoccerHQ]

Very positive first half display even though we are losing
Problem we’ve got now is that too Tuchel is a master tactician And he could make changes to win the game from here

We have options aswell. El Ghazi, Bailey and Traore all there.

This is what DS didn't have for most of last season.

Important we see two of them on the pitch when it's 1-0 rather than 2 or 3-0.

[john e]

Just wish that chance that fell to Watkins had gone to Ings
it would be 1-1 now

[Goldenballs]

Is there anything more pathetic then offering each other out for fights on an Internet message board!

Tbf I don't think Ings has been very good, can't get involved.
