Chelsea vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[oldtimernow]

Lee Hendrie saying "you really feel for Chelsea" Fuck off Lee. NEVER!

I've never heard more biased commentary, even when England's or Germany's playing. Even Mrs. GJ, who came in with 15 minutes to go mentioned it. An absolute fucking disgrace from whoever it was. Jackie Oakley?

Good win and I thought we looked more comfortable than some a suggesting.

thought i'd tuned into ChelseaTV

That header from Zaniolo had some power.

Noone is alive to remember when last we won back to back at Stamford Bridge...

The home game sandwiched between those wins was my first ever Villa game in August ‘60. A very young Jimmy Greaves played for them and we won 3-2. I’m still here and fighting off senility! Very pleased with our start especially as we have had 4 from 6 away

That injury time was a real struggle, ballsy offside line after 110mins! Great result, performance a bit mixed especially after we went ahead. Correct decision for the red card. Tielemans lively cameo, rest of the subs less so.
Martinez 8 - fast off line and a few excellent saves
Cash 7 - very solid in the main but struggled with Chilwell
Konsa 8 - back to his best today
Torres 7 - much better with no clangers
Digne 7 - average first half but much better after he got the smash on his nose
Kamara 7 - excellent first half but quieter after break
Luiz 8 - very good again, set pieces a bit off but class on ball at times
McGinn 6 - running on empty a bit currently but won some good tackles
Zaniolo 6 - brilliant shot forced a cracking save, quiet second half
Diaby 4 - anonymous in first half and a bit of a stinker in second
Watkins 6 - as per Diaby until the goal!

Tielemans was lively in his cameo showing much more aggression, rest of them were poor, Emery far from impressed with Duran

You have McGinn on the same mark as Zaniolo???
Diaby on 4, what? He wasn’t his best but a 4?

Yeah thought Diaby was shite today.

That header from Zaniolo had some power.

He’s going to destroy the net or frame of the goal at some point.

Diaby on 4, what? He wasn’t his best but a 4?

Just about right for me. Worst game for us by a mile.

[Risso]

Diaby didn't do much today, but then it was his pass to Watkins that led to the goal, so although neither of them were great for 90 minutes, they combined to win us the game.

[VILLA MOLE]

Noticed for the tackle for the sending off Emery made no fuss about the challenge trying to get the player sent off .  He is just class

[Brazilian Villain]

How to age 11 years in 11 minutes.

I've emailed Maverick Television, they like the format.

[brontebilly]

Sterling was rubbish today, lot of chat about why Southgate dropped him but looks like City moved him on at the right time.

[BC Villain]

Not bad.  Back to back wins at a club who some berk who shall remain nameless claimed should be "wiping the floor with us" not too long ago

Sterling running after yet another long ball earlier

Looks like a sigh of relief....

we're back - and we might not have won that without losing in the week.
