Aston Villa 0-2 Chelsea post match thread

[SoccerHQ]

It's more perging the wide attackers. Bailey is really the only one at the club and we started both senior strikers today.

It was time to move on El Ghazi and Trez but games like today it would be useful to have Traore around as he showed in 20/21 he can create these "moments" Gerrard is desperate for.

If we play like we did in the 1st half, then we should be getting 6 points from our next 2 games, if we play like we did against Leeds and Forest, then we will be looking for a new manager.

The first half was improved but how much of that was due to Chelsea being poor? I thought Chelsea played similarly bad against Leeds and Leeds smashed them 3-0

[achilles]

Shit in either box.

Gerrards fault? No

agreed

He has to take some responsibility as he puts those same players out on the pitch?

[Risso]

'fun' fact, if Chelsea beat Brentford, Potter will have the same number of wins from his 4 league games at Chelsea as Gerrard has in his last 21 with us.

And one more than he managed with Brighton in 27 games last season.

If we play like we did in the first half we’ll concede two sloppy goals and fail to score from good positions.

Haha, you hate Potter, don't you?

No of course not. It's just not a surprise that he's winning games with a billion pound team though really is it?

[villadelph]

Mason Mount hadn’t scored a league goal yet this season. Welcome to Villa Park, please enjoy your stay.

He won't be there long.

Aren't most of our better younger attacking players on loan?

Probably, but there has to be someone. You knew Sanson, Bogarde, Chambers and Nakamba were never coming on today.

I went down to see the u21s against Albion and witnessed the 6-2 defeat, we were shit but the attacking midfielder O Reilly was good and the number 9 striker Afoka wasn’t bad. Certainly would have been an idea to have him on the bench rather than centre back Bogarde today anyway, to balance things up a bit.

[ChicagoLion]

Well I am convinced that it’s purely coincidence that the last 3 goals Villa have conceded have been down to mistakes by the Bloke that Gerrard publicly humiliated.

Just Watkins, Ings and Archer.

[john e]

The fact that our best player was probably a 37 year old full back we thought had retired at the end of last season says it all really

[JUAN PABLO]

All these poor teams we play but hardly win.
