Aston Villa vs Chelsea Post-Match Thread

[KevinGage]

Ings is a good purchase-as back-up to Ollie, which we desperately needed.

We didn't sign a forward on £120k wages (which after the departure of Joe makes him our highest earner) to be backup.

He looked rusty today. Which - after a fair chunk of time out - is understandable.

He could still redeem himself with a strong second half of the season showing.  But he doesn't look a good fit at the moment.

Please can someone explain to me:

1. What Cash thinks he is doing for the first penalty.
2. What excuse of a challenge that was by Mings for their 2nd.

I accept they are better and all that but for Christ’s sake we make it so easy for these teams at times.

1. I don't know, he's been doing it since he arrived but has got better this season 

2. I don't know, he's been doing it since he arrived but in truth if he didn't do it, he probably be in uniteds back four

Lukaku is so strong but why did he fall over with barely a touch, if any?

[kippaxvilla2]

San Siro.

Which United? Newcastle, West Ham, Sheffield, Rotherham…..?

Southend united

Promising first half, ran out of steam in the second when Chelsea’s subs were better than ours and they stretched our narrow shape. Thought Luiz had a good game.

I thought Traoré showed fuck all. However, this is to be expected when coming back from injury.

If this is your biggest issue with today's performance, then maybe football's not for you.

Well said!

Thank you for your input.

Thought we were very solid first half and you would struggle to tell who the champions league winners were. That Cash tackle was so disappointing as it got them back into it for free - I have only seen it live, from the other end of the Trinity, but what was he even thinking? Thought Ramsey, Luiz and Sanson were all pretty good, but strangely we also missed SJM and Nakamba. And Mings was exceptional first half.

Second half was woeful. Lukaku destroyed us - Mings seemed to totally lose his confidence, ducking out of headers and slicing the ID clearance. We also lost midfield for some reason, and there was so little movement or invention up front that were often had possession and just seemed to not be able to think of anything to do.

Buendia is a conundrum - I’m not in the “waste of money” camp, but yesterday there was far too much eye of the needle stuff attempted that just didn’t come off against a very well organised defence.

Sodding foreign wanker.
Brings on a £97.5m centre forward as a sub, wins with 2 pens and still he's fucking moaning.

Can he not be a ‘sodding wanker’ …..he has to be a ‘foreign’ one ?

[itmustbe_it is!]

Sodding foreign wanker.

Oh dear

Unnecessary adjective. He's just a wanker .
