Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

[Proposition Joe]

Why do we not show this urgency earlier when there's still a chance to turn the game around?

[PeterWithesShin]

There's always next year. FT.

Look at Gallagher making the Italian Ian Olney jump around like a kid in a play pen.

Matter face with his Matterhorn chubby for chelsea. ******. And them Yorkshire ****** on the train earlier.

[Astnor]

Diaby is back, his goal - the confidence boost we needed to be ready for Manu.

[PaulTheVillan]

Bring back the fortress

I've never heard a comm performance as poor as Dixon's. He was like a troll today. I actually found it funny by the end.

Bring back the fortress

Bring back Slippy G

Ours is like a usaaf Flying Fortress hit by flak over Bremen

4 mins is a joke by the way.

It was three full minutes from when Caicedo went down injured to the restart after the subs.  I guess they gave us an extra 60 seconds for the "checks notes" SIX other subs and their literal time-wasting booking.  I genuinely thought we'd be getting 8 or 9 minutes.

[RichardBatchelor]

Emery has done brilliantly for us but his limitations are now starting to show.

Honestly you're a cretin

Whether he is or not the manager has been found out tonight well and truly by world class coach Poch.

Where are Chelsea in the table? What’s their wage bill? Have a word with yourself.

Poch gets little respect from me, simply for taking that job.
