Chelsea vs Aston Villa Match Thread - EFL Cup Rd3

[cdbearsfan]

Absolutely infuriating and disrespectful to the competition and the Travelling support.

This cup is probably our best chance of silverware and we throw it away. Chelsea have much bigger things to aim for and they have Lukaku on the bench and we have neither Watkins or ings.

Sorry but Aston Villa should treat this cup with more respect , 5 times winners and we put a team out like this against very strong opposition

Disgrace and I feel sorry for all those that have travelled down

Oh hello, hadn't seen you for a while. Still everything has been OK hasn't it?

No , not happy at all

Should have got four in the last match. Am I right?

We were "very poor" in the first half and the queues at half-time were "a disgrace". This is not an attempted satire of his reactions, it's what he actually said.

Why aren't we playing the team that finished the match on Saturday? I just don't get this cup team attitude. Pathetic.

You've had enough years to get used to it. This is what comes of supporting a Bottom 14 team

Bottom 20 team. None of the top six will be going full strength either.

According to the BBC, we have made nine changes from Saturday's starting line up; Chelsea have made 10 changes, retaining only the GK.

I see the Chukwuemeka brothers have gone all Madonna on us!

They're making billions by stealing Cyndi Lauper's act? Good luck to them, hope it works out.

Yes I know but..... it's still galling.

[RamboandBruno]

ok with the team tonight
But we don’t win the bench is not strong enough they have far stronger options than us

This is where i am, they can bring lukaku on!! I thinkmits a big ask for Archer, from Solihull Moors to leading the line against a fairly decent chelsea defence. I get we have a lunchtime k/o on saturday, but Watkins has only played a couple of games, i would of thought he coukd of been on the bench. Lets hope for a shock or at least a real good go at them

Like the Government - beyond satire.

didn't want to win this tin pot cup anyway....

Does this make Cam our 3rd choice striker?

Really chuffed for the lad, his career is really taking off this season

[Ian.]

So, what’s the formation and who’s playing left back?

Great to see young Archer up front and Sansom starting. Always a bonus when Traore is playing. He just so good to watch.

Our pre game tracksuit are so 90s, I wonder if they have poppers down the legs.

[Demitri_C]

That bench is far too weak no ings or watkins. Chelsea team too strong smiths gone too weak here. Best chance is pens im afraid

What a fantastic night for the lad.
Well deserved after his performance in the previous round.
Best of luck to him.

Alright Wilma.

I'm expecting it to be over by half time. Anything else will be a bonus.

[Demitri_C]

We have little chance because smiths fucked the bench.  Even if we take the lead chelsea can being on lukaku mount and havertz to chnage the game.

Its ridiculous we have no ollie or Watkins on bench even one of mcginn or luiz too
