Chelsea vs Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

So Ian Wright was told to analyse Konsa with a view that the player is ready for England. That effort by Wright was the most laziest analysis I have ever seen. It was disjointed and incoherent totally incompetent and he finished with referring to him as a striker. Unbelievable, and he gets paid for that garbage!

Agreed, can't stand him as a "pundit".

I dunno, his conclusion that Konsa was "someone I'd be looking at" was pretty profound.

As por as that is, I have to admit that I quite like him. Was a good player, and is a likeable person. Definitely not one with an anti-Villa agenda either, is usually quite complimentary of us.

Agree, Ian Wright is getting better with age as a pundit. He even lays into Arsenal now . Good pundit plus he likes the villa .

[Small Rodent]

Who the fuck is this woman commentator on our game (just watching the replay)?

Awful.

Accompanied by Efon Akuku . The Arabic commentary made more sense

Dunno who he is, but my stream had Efan Ekoku and I thought he talked some good sense.

The woman screeching away and him with his monotone droll, I put it on a foreign channel, far better

'Screeching' is nice. Unlike those male commentators we get who don't screech at all, like Clive Tyldesley or Jonathan Pearce.

Tyldesley and Pearce are toe-curlers!!

I know we caught them offside a lot, but I’m not as convinced as many on here that the high-line is working again. Emi pulled off some great saves when they were clean through having beaten the trap.

We are still off the pace performance wise from last season but getting the results none the less. Encouraging that Kamara came back to form and Konsa was a standout in defence. Diaby and McGinn had off days and we still won. I worry about Torres lack of pace and that Watkins hardly touched the ball until he got the winner, but we showed we can win without being at our best.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino, speaking to BBC Sport: "I am not frustrated, just disappointed. I think we were the better team until the red card.

"The team has given everything, we need to keep working. To play with 10 men is always difficult but the team worked hard.

"We need to change the situation, the only way I know we can change the situation is by working really hard.

"We are confident in the way we perform. The only thing we are missing is scoring. If we keep working hard we will change."

Drugs are bad, m'kay.

He sounds exactly like the other managers of bottom of the table teams. Good for him for being realistic. If they can take points off then other relegation teams they'll probably be alright this season.

If not he can revert to the BS he was spouting at Spurs when it was going tits up. "The Spurs fans can relax there is no truth in the rumour I am taking the Real Madrid job". A rumour no doubt started by the shysters agent.

Shay Given came out with a cracker while analysing a potential hand ball in the build up to the first goal in the Newcastle game. They were debating whether the ball went out of play which it didn't but it did strike Anthony Gordon's hand which then fell nicely for him to cross the ball into the goalscorer. He said "the ball does hit his hand but the goal couldn't be disallowed because he didn't actually score the goal" If a handball occurs in the build up surely the goal should be ruled out? If not I just don't understand the rules anymore.

I haven't understood any of the rules for ages.

In the 5 live sports roundup of the Prem at 7pm they didn’t even mention the result.

neither did Midlands Today  on Sunday evening

It’s a VAR thing, VAR can only intervene if the goal scorer handles the ball.
This is a problem with VAR, it’s trying to get half pregnant.

It's fine - everyone can ignore us like last year as far as I am concerned. Wank over Brighton and Hammers whilst being mortified over crisis clubs Chelsea and Man U
