Aston Villa v Chelsea Match Thread

No great shock, their was a physio on working with Emi when tielemans was down and they were clearly working on his hamstring. That he stayed on to halftime suggests it's nothing particularly serious but there's no point risking him if he's not 100%

As the said on comms it's no harm for Olsen to get half a game ahead of Thursday as well.

That’s just fcuking typical how does a keeper get a hamstring?!

And how long is he out then?

[PeterWithesShin]

Luiz booked

It depends on how bad it is  - could be a week or could be a month.

Hope, pray and everything else.

Stupid from Luiz.

I may be wrong here but I get the impression Doug is not all that bothered anymore with us.

Maybe harsh and hopefully hunch is wrong

[PeterWithesShin]

Phew

[Edvard Remberg]

I don't feel comfortable at all

[PaulWinch again]

We need to get a grip.

Why

[PaulWinch again]

We’ve got zero control here.

[Goldenballs]

Need it to start sticking to Watkins or it's going to be a long half

[paul_e]

We’ve got zero control here.

We have 2 very important bits of control that mean we can do exactly what we're doing and try to catch them on the break whilst not using up much energy.
