Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread

[KRS]

Looking good. Should be at least level given the chances we’ve created and missed. Clinical finishing is the difference between both sides at the moment.

[Risso]

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

[Drummond]

I think we should have two match threads. One normal and another for those watching about two minutes behind.

10 shots 4 on target. Good stuff Villa boys keep going.

Been the better side easily.  Axel's pub team defending cost us big time. I'd expect Tuchel to change things at HT unfortunately because they're struggling. Probably too many changes.

Yeah can see them bringing Werner on perhaps and dropping Havertz back into midfield. Saul Niguez had an awful debut for them.

Playing wider shows what a good technical player Ollie is sometimes, ball glued to his foot at times this half and unlucky not to score.

[DrGonzo]

Not  at all shabby.  No long ball pinging in evidence.  drive and enterprise from the midfield.  With a few more minutes in Olly's legs we'd be level or better.  Come on boys.

This, for me.

Ings has been. Crap really crap. 30m I want to see more

Watkins finishing abit rusty. But pleased with the performance. Chelsea won’t be that poor second half

I see what you did there

[Fred Crump]

Good first half, the chances not taken will probably cost us unfortunately. Their keeper has been their best player.

[Sexual Ealing]

Playing well but, as you’d expect from European champions, their defence is exceptional.

[dicedlam]

We deserve to be at least level. Playing well.

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

Ramsey - great. Fear we’ve missed our chance now though.
