Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

That’s a red card

It's one that's right between a red and yellow for me, could easily have gone.

[Toronto Villa]

In fairness it has been all us. This will the Spurs game all over again

If only we'd been playing like this all season he wouldn't be under threat of being sacked.

I don’t get it. We have players better than our position. There is no excuse for not attacking sides but we play this stupid slow conservative style most of the time and it doesn’t work. Yet today we are showing we can play a fast high press game against the best sides.

[PaulWinch again]

Free kick aside Bailey has been good.

[BC Villain]

That’s a terrible challenge

Bad challenge, though I think Ramsey slightly overdid the rolling about.

Looking much more dangerous, but we completely lack any composure and confidence up front

[Axl Rose]

Chilwell is a prick.

Bailey, fuck me. Absymal

[baddowvillans]

 I think its one of those where if the ref sends him off VAR don't overturn it either

They looked at the challenge on replay. It was a straight footed, studs challenge to his ankle. I can only imagine how much that would have hurt.

Set piece coach earning his corn I see.

[Bad English]

Bailey is not doing what the set-piece lad has told him to do. FFS!

[JUAN PABLO]

Watkins ffs

[Axl Rose]

soft soft 'foul'

[JUAN PABLO]

Bailey s looking good to ge fair

[PeterWithesShin]

If we played like this on a regular basis i'd be giving Gerrard a hell of a lot less stick.

It's weird isn't it, our squad is much better suited to this but instead he seems determined to have us play like Man City despite not having any idea how to implement that style.

Just one word - Watkins. WTAF.
