Chelsea vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Cracking win.  Both keepers were key.  Pleased for Ollie.  Kamara, Luiz and Konsa were excellent.  Feels great to be in the top 6.

How much more solid do we look when Bouba plays well? Also good signs with the number of offsides - suggests the defence is getting the line right now.

Not difficult getting the line right against brainless Sterling, would have been punished by anybody else

Not sure that’s true is it? There were 8 offsides why how many were sterling?

Thanks. I reckon Emi won that for us.

I will counter with Sanchez kept them in the game.

Yeah swings and roundabouts. I think it was fairly even.

It was mostly even but I never felt in danger, even when the lino put the flag up very late.

I was confident at HT we would win.

I was worried when they went to 10 men, we seen us struggle before especially at home when teams dig in.

We deserved it. Just.

0-1 away anywhere in this league is the perfect result.

Sterling was offside once. We caught loads of them.

Didn't expect that, fair play to everyone. Pretty even, the first goal was always going to be massive. Emi is class.

Hopefully Moreno is back soon as is still as quick, could do with his pace going back when we get turned.

[Matt C]

Sixth in the league and we’ve not played that well yet.

[Beard82]

Great result - feels like we have rarely clicked this season yet are still 6th with is a brilliant sign - given all the distribution

The squad players have a chance on Thursday to make up for last week. 

Slightly unsure if the team is as balanced as it was last season - but not sure if that’s due to the injuries

[darren woolley]

Great win I'm happy with that.

Unai Emery explains why Alex Moreno was not in Aston Villa squad at Chelsea

We miss Moreno and we miss Mings, I don't think there's any getting away from that. We also miss the variety Buendia gave us. Those were Ramsey's first league minutes of the season. They're 4 losses we've done well to compensate for.

Yes earlier on but once we were leading Emi denying Chilwell turned out to thr key save.

Lovely. Watched the game by the pool in Alghero.  After a superb little 46 miler on the bike from Stintino.  Nice. 

Did you get to La Pelosa ? Beautiful area.

Yep had a look yesterday.
Alghero today has the World Beach Football World Cup final.
Mad.
Awesome.
Am a bit drunk already
