Chelsea v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Garbage so far.

We must improve second half.

[Stinkin_Thinkin]

At some point I'd like to see Bailey on to have a run at that young full back, that could be a way in.

[Edvard Remberg]

I hope we've got enough points to stay up if this is what we serve up

Feel we are on the same page

[steamer]

Forwards not seeing the ball, some players missing in the middle and some crap balls from lengelet
Ref is Crap
Martinez brilliant as usual
Sort it out at half time or we are out

Considering we played on Tuesday and Chelsea have had a 2 week break, I’m not surprised we’re a bit off the pace. We need a break!!

I'd swap Diaby and Tielemans round. Block up their overlaps and get Yuri exploiting the acres of space we've created multiple times beyond their midfield.

I thought Chelsea looked clearly offside about 4 times but nothing given.

They're offside everytime. Linesman is rank.

They're offside everytime. Linesman is rank.

It's what they do when VAR is available, play just runs and because we're generally recovering well and they're not getting chances there's never a need for VAR to step in. It's shit and really needs to be changed back.

Lenglet is having a mare, Konsa is constantly having a right go at him.

I'm still awaiting Tielemans to smash one in like I've seen him do so many times for Leicester.

Our entire left side looks like they are running in treacle, including Tielemans who is a liability without the ball. That mistake has rattled Lenglet completely, just booting the ball now. Our defensive line is all over the place, clever from Chelsea as I don't think we have caught them offside yet.

Cash is doing very well on Sterling. McGinn and Luiz doing well, Martinez brilliant. Rockets needed for Watkins and Kamara at half time.

The problem that half was that they had a lot of possession and were quick to press when we got the ball back so we were struggling to get Tielemans, Diaby and Watkins into the game. When we carreid it through midfield we looked dangerous and they do seem to have a big gap between defence and midfield that we should be trying to exploit.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Diaby shot.

Weak though.

[paul_e]

How was that a yellow card? Ref has been conned by the rolling around.
