Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

Like that line-up with Konsa back in the centre and Lenglet instead of Carlos (presumably for extra pace).

Kellyman back on the bench too, thought he was out for a few months. Some rare good news wrt an injury.

[Randy Gurner]

Strange that the game isn’t being televised. Will have to frequent a small, narrow river.

[Nev]

Well, if we don't win you can't say we haven't tried.

[Ian.]

Still no Pau? Thought he would've been available for this one.

No Ramsey ?

Do you two only read the match threads?

Ha ha. They’ve been on the beach!

[Ian.]

That’s a very strong line up and I’m glad Konsa is back in the middle. When I heard the news about Torres was going to be out for a few more weeks I was hoping we’d switch him inside.

Bit nippy for the beach here.

Very early November he was injured, so it's not far off 3 months he's been out. Was a hamstring, apparently, so I just hope we don't see a repeat of all the other injured players making an initial return and then getting injured again.

Many of us on here are essentially Match Threads, Deathwatch, and ACR when it gets bumped,

[Neil Hawkes]

No Duran......interesting.

[OCD]

Good to see Kellyman back. Munroe's not somebody I've heard much about.

[VillaTim]

NSWE both at the Bridge . Wills be along soon

[Dave]

No Duran......interesting.

Also injured.

[Sexual Ealing]

I note that Ron Atkinson isn't in the dugout. I wonder what's gone on there.

[SamTheMouse]

Nice to see Tielemans back.

No Duran......interesting.

Also injured.
