Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[pauliewalnuts]

No, but if nobody else has a problem with it, maybe you should just watch on TV if it's bothering you?

I'm watching it on TV, and it's still behind. The radio is almost instant, satellite has a delay.

The idea was to just watch the TV, not have the radio on, and don't follow the match thread!

It's way more fun to watch in good company though!

Misery loves company! (Previous seasons, anyway)

[Martyn Smith]

Half time please

Ok, go on then

We've defended well but put ourselves under pressure too often

[Risso]

Phew.  We need to tighten up muchly second half.

[rob_bridge]

We look very dangerous on the break. Very.

Unfortunately they look more dangerous more often

[Toronto Villa]

Can't stand that hair bear bunch guy.

He's utter shit as well. How much was he, £60m?

I hadn't really paid much attention to him but the other week found myself watching a Chelsea match on tv and I couldn't believe how often he passes back - gets over the halfway line, looks for the back pass every time.

How are we talking about Jack Grealish on a Chelsea Villa match thread?

Booing.  You love to hear it.

Doesn't help if you want to post your thought about the game though. It's a tough one, if I'm honest I did like the game recently where PWS wasn't on and it never felt like 1 person was a minute or 2 ahead of everyone else.

Surely it's only Villa fans who have ever booed at half time?!

[villadelph]

Chelsea combatting our compact midfield with balls over the top.. interesting strategy for a billion dollar squad.

They boo louder than they sing. C’MON VILLA!

[Nev]

Good. Probably need more possession, we are under pressure but in control but it can soon collapse.

Sky cheerleading for our opponents again. You don't get booked for "easing someone out of the way" Hinchcliffe you one eyed wanker.

[Keeno]

Surely, SURELY they can't put as much pressure on as they did that half, right? A smash and grab 1-0 would be absolutely perfect.

I agree Paul, you know that nothing is going to happen in the next two minutes which makes it feel a bit pointless.

[SoccerHQ]

Young needs some help big time.

Him drifting in as a third CB is giving Chilwell so much space to run into and we can't keep giving player of his quality that.

It's a good result for us so far but can't see us keeping a clean sheet with some of the openings they're working around the box so I think we'll concede eventually.

Ramsey getting into some areas but he needs to look up far earlier. Ollie is in ridiculous form and completely unmarked so passing the ball might be advisable on occasions.

[olaftab]

Potter will sort them out with a dressing down and yes hair dryer stuff and they will be a different team in the second half. Unai better be ready.

And HD ultimate another 3 seconds. Such problems not sure which way to turn

If the most we've got to complain about is someone posting a goal too early we're not doing too bad.

In other seasons that poor bloke has prob sat through McLeish/Lamberk et al dismal shit and endless goal droughts.
