Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Villan82]

Pathetic. Honeymoon over

Not at all. The manager isn’t there. The players have not practiced. There are massive mitigating circumstances. It’s been poor but we have to consider the real reasons as to why.

Why was the game played? Our players didn't look fit. Why do we always take the hit? Last year in the FA Cup a prime example.

[SamTheMouse]

Fuck off Chelski. Another stain on football.

[PhilVill]

Honeymoon over? Are you on drugs? The three best teams in Europe have beaten us but we've given them all a game and in this one. Defensive fuck ups plus an absolute world class player, plus our manager is at home, have cost us dearly. I won't be losing any sleep.

And missing McGinn

[N'ZMAV]

Not very good all in all. Decent effort.
A few half openings in the first half but we took too long and was too obvious with getting shots away.
That was all a bit Dean Smith like at times but we was beaten by the better side. Lukaku made it look easy.

[Demitri_C]

Dreadful second half. All the defence was absolute Blues today and thats what cost us

[Fred Crump]

Disappointing start to the second half but we played some good stuff for significant parts of the game. Individual mistakes cost us but we weren’t disgraced.
Plus we were playing against a human King Tiger tank ….

We lacked impetus second half ,  but those arseholes brought on a 90 million pound striker at halftime , so we have some way to go to compete .  i am sure they were singing Lukako as one of their own ?

As I understand it, Lukaku started out at Chelsea

ha yes i know  but they kept flogging him or loaning him out . 

horrible lot

[Martyn Smith]

And missing McGinn

Why was he missing exactly? I heard something to do with the Scotland squad but I looked on the BBC website and they have no fixtures coming up.

[Martyn Smith]

Got a feeling Lukaku will come on and decide this like he did in September, we never can handle him that well.

Nah, that won't happen...

[Richard E]

We seemed to lose a lot of our zip when Buendia went off. His final ball wasn’t happening all night but he obviously brings something to the party, although I’m not sure how to describe it.

Watney's Party Seven but no tin-opener.

They bought him from Anderlecht for about £20m as a teenager so hardly one of their own.
