Aston Villa vs Chelsea pre-match thread

[Tony Daleys Shorts]

Fuck Chelsea and Cole Palmer.

I seriously think Emery is that good a manager he’s held a bit back for a late season charge, as per last season.

Last two PL games we’ve looked bloody good and back to our early season form. I’m confidently predicting a really strong end to the season ending in a comfortable 4th place finish and glory in Athens on the 29th May.

Palmer has returned to training today.

Add this to McGinn's to do list .

From the highlights I have seen, Palmer mostly comes in from their midfield right so more one of  Digne, Rogers, Tielemans or Torres who need to pick up his runs.

Rodgers missed the cup game and from what i remember he caused them problems in the cup game when playing for boro.

Lets hope for the same saturday night.

Im gonna be honest i think we should save bailey for olympiakos and bring him on as sub if need be

The last thing we need is Ginny getting sent off again !

He won't get sent off for keeping him in his back pocket all game .

[JUAN PABLO]

I didnt realise Palmer was Lionel  Messi  all of a sudden.

Good player but we have 11 plus good players . 

I think Id look good playing in that team.

No he didn't, but Rogers did.

Yes to all of this, we're sprinting down the home straight.

I wonder if Unai will designate one of them to keep C.P. company.

I didnt realise Palmer was Lionel  Messi  all of a sudden.

He is an exceptional player and without him they are very ordinary.
He was the best player on the pitch when we played them in the cup.

[lovejoy]

It's all relative though, he is no better than De Bruyne, Odegaard, Maddison, it's just they play in better teams. We've done ok against such teams this season let's not psych ourselves out here.

[LeeB]

I think he's thrived in a kind of 'Grealish with us' role where he's free to be the fulcrum of that rabble and he's thriving with the responsibility much like the greasy one did.

He wouldn't maybe get that chance in a better organised team. He is a bloody good player though.

Yes , Citeh had to choose between Phil the Chav Foden or him. Chavy looks good in a great team whereas Palmer looks brilliant in that rabble.

If I had to choose, I'd take Palmer over Foden.
