Aston Villa 0-2 Chelsea post match thread

[GarTomas]

No system.
No style.
No substance.

And no fuckin result

Yeah - but I couldn’t think of a word beginning with S that describes that!!

[cdbearsfan]

Describing Mings as "shit" is utter bollocks. The others can all play better under a better manager. Because they all have played better under better managers.

[ez]

He should have gone by now. We've been over patient.

School boy defending today to gift them a goal when we were playing well. Cost us the match.

Gerrard screwed the season causing a ruckus over Mings. I have no great belief that Mings is a top-level defender, but Gerrard was obviously spoiling for a confrontation for reasons known only to him, and the repercussions of that mystifying decision have capsized the club.

[cdbearsfan]

Yes, he played badly today. Doesn't mean he's "shit", though.

[Goldie.7]

4 wins in the last 21 matches. Let the excuses roll out..

Micah Richards now droning on.

My least favourite person in football, possibly

Fucking hell, Villa.

Worst ever signing. Ever. 12m quid he leached out of the club

[Ian.]

Mings has cocked up once this season and been one of our best players. Martinez has made more mistakes.  Our problems are further up the pitch and when we’re not performing there sooner or later the defence will get caught out like today.

Gerrard acted like a cuntoid in that confrontation. Total fucking prick

He isn’t going to turn things round so might as well get rid. The next bloke is going to need £200m to replace Mings, McGinn, Watkins and Ings though. Utter shit, all of them.

But they could have been 10th if we'd won

Disappointing result, best we have played this season for about 60 mins. But the way we capitulated after the second was terrible, helped by some daft Gerrard subs. Two shocking errors gave them two goals. At least we created a lot more chances today.

Martinez 4 - awful positioning for second
Cash 5 - kept trying but little quality on ball and caught badly for Sterlings header
Konsa 7 - solid again, very good late on v Sterling
Mings 3 - brainfart for the opener and never recovered, horror show
Young 7 - solid yet again, really proving me wrong
Luiz 8 - very good for most of the game but left by himself after the subs
Ramsey 7 - good to see that running power back again, forced a great save. Tackling needs to improve
McGinn 6 - back on left of three and much better. Gerrard played to the gallery taking him off
Bailey 6 - shocking miss but a threat for the most of his time and nice crosses. Strange sub. No sign of his electric pace though
Watkins 5 - good first half but that shot second half summed up his confidence.
Ings 5 - terrible miss with header and gassed as per usual after 60 mins. Should have been hooked

Buendia and Coutinho were shocking when they came on but formation was a mess then due to Gerrard's changes.

Maybe I missed this in the week, but it seems Purslow confirmed that we had the 7th highest wage bill in the league and had budgeted for a top eight position.
Seems that owners have spent or pledged the money 
Me, I am not sure where our next goal will come from

The wage bill has increased 15m on Gerrard watch

Agreed our mistakes are always going to cost us more if we cant score ourselves.
