Abject Villa v Chelsea post match thread.

It's just the magic of the cup. Plucky underdogs cause yet another upset. No big deal, happens all the time.

defeat against another team that had less time to recover from their previous game. It's becoming a trend.
There really are no excuses for that half arsed performance. None.

Not just less time, but one who had been comprehensively beasted by the Dogheads.

[Paul.S]

Terrible from start to finish. Both fullbacks caught out time and time again with no support from anyone in front of them.
We definitely have been sussed out because Chelsea used the same tactics as Newcastle did. They swamped central midfield, won the ball and exposed both fullbacks. Hopefully Torres is back for Sunday but we need a sitting midfielder to protect this defence without Konsa.
Emery will have to have a rethink and change something because that lot on Sunday play on the break. If we do the same then I fear for us.

Ha ha, that cheered me up! Very good.

Also, what the fuck is going on with Kamara?

That was beyond terrible today, he's another player who, when he puts in a bad performance, puts in a truly awful one.

[Risso]

Emery thinks we “competed well”. Ummm, OK Unai.

[curiousorange]

I honestly think Emery won't rethink anything. Obviously his main tactic with us is working less and less because one by one each coach has worked it out, with only the most limited coaches and squads being unable to find a way to at least neutralise it. I find it frustrating when brilliant coaches like Emery don't seem to see the obvious.

Can't play well in dry shirts.

They will tear us apart if we don't get our act together. They have players with lightning pace and they stretch the pitch. FFS

Ha ha, good point, maybe he's suffering from severely dehydrated nip-nops or something. Needs to feel bathed in sweat before he can deliver.

[Brazilian Villain]

Let’s just fucking hope we put in a show versus those ****** at the weekend to wash some of this away. Fuck sake man.

Yeah, I'm hoping Unai is furious and we take it out on them. If we're in the CL and lifting a trophy in Athens then it'll all be forgotten about, but we need a reaction on Sunday or the season could fizzle out.

Yeah absolutely no chance Sunday without any pace and positional sense in defence.

Sunday is now our FA Cup final.
